OUR MISSION
Our name "Chazoku" means "tea family" - a vision born when my brother and I set out to serve others the way we always wished to be served. At Chazoku, we're not in the matcha business serving people - we're in the people business serving matcha.
Welcome to the family.
“When you join us, you become part of something greater than a transaction. Our foundation rests on integrity, loyalty, and profound respect for each person's unique journey. We strive to reflect Christ's love in every interaction, believing that genuine care is our highest calling. Your matcha experience is our purpose; your satisfaction our mission. ”

CRAFTING THE FUTURE OF MATCHA
2018-2020
Tired of energy drinks that left us feeling worse than before, we set out to create something better.Working nights and weekends, we developed our Supercharged Formula from scratch. No artificial junk, just matcha's natural energy unlocked in a way nobody had done before.
2021-2022
After countless test batches and refinements, we finally had something worth sharing. We put our Performance Matcha in the hands of friends, family, and early supporters. Their feedback confirmed what kept us going - we'd created an energy drink that actually made people feel good while also tasting great.
2023-2024
As word spread, we took the next big step for Chazoku: building our own manufacturing operation in the United States. This chapter became about more than growth. It gave us the ability to innovate faster, experiment with new formulas, improve quality control, reduce costs, and support other brands through manufacturing partnerships. With the proper licenses and certifications in place, we were able to create a stronger foundation for Chazoku’s future and expand what we could offer beyond our own products.
2025
Launching our Single Cultivar line was just the first step. The game changer? We've secured exclusive access to multiple tea farms in Japan. This means complete control from leaf to cup, allowing us to secure matcha varieties and costs nobody else can touch.
