Aiya was founded in 1888 in Nishio, Japan — the matcha capital of Japan, producing 25% of the world's matcha. The brand grinds matcha on traditional granite stone mills (one mill produces only 30g of matcha per hour). Aiya is the most-distributed Japanese matcha brand outside Japan and the matcha supplier to Starbucks Reserve.
