DōMatcha™ Profits Benefit Youth

Many of you followed DōMatcha’s™ Final Four Athletes over the past year as they explored the benefits of matcha tea on their training and competitions. As part of the Grand Matcha Experiment, a portion of the profits from our DōMatcha™ T-shirts goes to support youth athletic groups selected by the Final Four. Recently DōMatcha’s™ Marketing Director, Calli O’Brien, was in Toronto and presented one of our Final Four members, Geoffrey Peat, with a $300 check in support of his Newmarket Huskies Track Club youth x-country running group in Newmarket, Ontario. Geoffrey says he’ll likely use the funds to purchase winter running hats so his club can continue running in comfort through their chilly winters.

Special Report (June 15, 2011)

For those who missed the June newsletter - here's the latest: While DōMatcha™ teas are grown in Kyoto and Kagoshima, far from the location of the Japanese tsunami and nuclear crisis, we are taking many precautions to monitor our tea quality. The Kyoto Tea Association recently tested tea plants in the region and published a report indicating no radiation detected in the plants. To make doubly sure, our producers in both Kyoto and Kagoshima are testing the soil, water, and tea plants to ensure no signs of radiation. In the unlikely event any radiation is detected, rest assured we will not use the affected plants. Matcha drinkers come to us for pure, healthy teas, and DōMatcha™ will deliver! Our current supply, and for months yet to come, is derived from 2010 harvests. Stay tuned for future updates on Facebook and in our monthly e-newsletter.
