Ren Matcha

Uji matcha built around people

Matcha as Culture and Connection

Ren takes its name from the Chinese character 人, meaning “people.” The brand uses premium matcha not only as a drink but as a medium for Asian culture, art, and community. Its powder comes from Uji, Kyoto, one of Japan’s most respected tea regions, and anchors a café practice devoted to deep, earthy flavor rather than pale, overly milky lattes.

Uji Powder, Tested Cup by Cup

Ren sources matcha powder from Uji, Kyoto and calibrates its recipes for a rich, earthy cup with enough intensity to remain present in milk. Christina and Jenny tested proportions repeatedly in their home kitchen before serving at pop-ups. The process prioritizes quality tea, careful whisking, and balanced recipes over excessive sweetness, allowing the matcha’s color, aroma, and depth to lead.
