The global matcha boom is here – and we were ready from the start
If you've ordered a drink, browsed the wellness shelves or scrolled through social media in recent months, one thing is hard to miss: matcha is experiencing a real boom worldwide. From Tokyo to Toronto, Berlin to Nairobi, matcha has long been more than just a short-term trend. It has become an integral part of modern pleasure and wellness culture.
While many brands are only now responding to this boom, David Rio has been deeply rooted in the world of matcha for over two decades. We didn't just jump on the bandwagon when matcha became popular – we were there from the very beginning.
Why matcha is currently so popular
Global demand for matcha has never been higher. Consumers, cafés and brands today place particular value on:
- natural energy without a subsequent drop in performance
- sustainably and transparently grown ingredients
- high-quality products that are also suitable for everyday use
At the same time, the demands on traditional matcha producers in Japan are increasing. In view of the rapidly growing demand, quality, origin and long-term partnerships are becoming increasingly important. This poses a major challenge for many new suppliers.
Matcha is part of our DNA
Matcha is nothing new to us. David Rio established matcha on the US market back in 2003, at a time when it was still virtually unknown outside Japan.
Since then, we have been continuously developing our matcha blends for retail, catering and professional use. This long-standing expertise makes all the difference. Matcha does not tolerate compromise, because the taste, texture and quality must be just right. That is exactly what we understand.
Our matcha creations – versatile and well thought-out
Our latest development, the Matcha Latte & Frappé Mix, has been specifically designed for modern enjoyment concepts. It impresses with:
- a clear, balanced matcha flavour
- a particularly fine, creamy texture
- maximum versatility in preparation
Whether hot, cold or as a creamy frappé, this blend consistently delivers excellent results. It was named a New Product Finalist at the Speciality Coffee Association (SCA) Expo, demonstrating its quality and innovative strength. Our matcha currently comes from Kagoshima Prefecture in Japan, a region with an excellent tradition of tea cultivation. In addition, we work with long-standing partners throughout Japan to ensure consistently high quality, transparency and sustainable sourcing, even in challenging times.
More than a trend – genuine matcha expertise
David Rio isn't just part of the matcha market – we've actively helped shape it. We invest in long-term relationships, in-depth knowledge and uncompromising quality. Whether you are a barista looking for a reliable matcha base, a retailer who needs consistent quality, or someone who wants to offer your guests special moments of enjoyment: David Rio is your experienced partner for matcha. While the world is just rediscovering matcha, we have long been ready – today and in the future. David Rio stands for matcha expertise with experience.
