Our Story
Grown in Japan.
Brought to your bowl.
Chã Wellness was born from a simple belief: India deserves really good matcha.
We source premium, single-origin Japanese matcha with a focus on quality, provenance and flavor , bringing distinct cultivars and harvests from Japan to a new generation of matcha drinkers in India.
For us, matcha isn’t a trend or just another alternative to coffee. It’s a ritual, one that can be slow and intentional, or simply part of your everyday routine.
From your first cup to the matcha you learn to appreciate over time, Chã is about helping you find the one that feels right for you.
Founder's Story
Chã started with a love for matcha and the frustration of not being able to find the quality we were looking for in India.
What began as a personal search quickly became something bigger. Our founder, Kritia, wanted to understand what actually makes one matcha different from another: where it comes from, how it's grown and harvested, the cultivar, and the way each of these choices changes what you taste in the cup.
That curiosity led directly to Japan and to building relationships with producers who take their craft seriously.
But while our matcha comes from Japan, Chã is rooted in India. Growing up in a culture where chai is more than a drink, it's a daily ritual, a reason to pause, and something shared with the people around you — Kritia saw the same potential in matcha. “Chã” became a natural bridge between the two: Japanese tea craftsmanship, reimagined for the way we drink and experience tea in India.
Chã was created to bring that experience home, without making matcha feel intimidating or inaccessible. Today, we source single-origin Japanese matcha across distinct cultivars and profiles, so there isn't just one definition of what “good matcha” should taste like.
For Kritia, Chã is about creating the matcha brand she wished existed when she first started drinking it: thoughtful about quality, transparent about what's inside the tin, and exciting enough to become a ritual you actually look forward to.

How do I prepare Chã matcha?
Whisk 3g of matcha with 30ml of water at approximately 45°C until smooth. Enjoy with water or add milk and serve hot or iced.
Which milk pairs best with Chã matcha?
We recommend oat milk. Its creamy texture complements matcha while allowing its flavour and umami character to come through.
Does matcha contain caffeine?
Yes. Matcha naturally contains caffeine because it is made from finely ground tea leaves. The exact amount can vary depending on the tea and serving size.
What is the difference between first and second harvest matcha?
First-harvest matcha comes from the first tea harvest of the season, while second-harvest matcha comes from the following harvest. Okumidori, Gokou and Yama Yabu are first harvest; AAA and House are second harvest.
Can I make both hot and iced matcha?
Yes. Prepare your matcha with 3g powder and 30ml water at approximately 45°C, then enjoy it straight, over ice or with milk.
How should I store my matcha after opening?
Keep your matcha airtight and protected from sunlight and moisture. We recommend storing the tin in the freezer after opening to maintain freshness.
How much matcha is in each tin and how many servings does it make?
Each Chã Wellness tin contains 25g. At our recommended 3g serving, that gives you approximately eight servings.

The Japanese Cafe Experience
Our flagship café in Chennai is where the online experience becomes a physical one. Come in, sit down, and let us prepare a cup for you - properly, the way it was meant to be made.
Every tin we ship carries a provenance code. Scan it and you'll find the name of the farm, the elevation it was grown at, the date it was harvested, and the lab results confirming its pesticide-free status. This is not a promise. It is a paper trail.
We started small - sourcing a single lot from Uji in 2021 - and have grown only as fast as our relationships with farmers allow. Quality is not a scale problem for us; it is a relationship problem, and relationships take time.
