Breakaway Matcha

Breakaway Matcha was founded in 2010 by author and chef Eric Gower, who badly wanted to drink some good matcha and couldn't find any. Breakaway Matcha specializes in sourcing, custom blending, and distributing the highest-quality matcha on earth. We also design and offer special matcha ceramics and other teaware to enhance the enjoyment of this very special tea, and we provide ongoing support and training in matcha preparation to many of the most respected and emulated restaurants in the world. The main goal of Breakaway Matcha is to make great matcha accessible to anyone who would like to experience a green tea that rivals great wine in complexity, nuance, and flavor, and whose health properties are legendary. Our approach is to serve matcha in a simple and modern way that invites further exploration, and to provide ongoing education in the joys - both traditional and modern - to be found in the daily drinking of this remarkable beverage. There is no higher quality matcha in Japan's domestic market, nor in the global market.
