Most people think they know what matcha is. It's the green drink in a ceramic bowl, the carefully whisked latte on your wellness influencer's feed, the soothing ritual meant to replace coffee jitters with calm, focused energy.
But Matcha.com, the wellness-forward, science-rooted tea brand co-founded by Dr. Andrew Weil, is quietly blowing that image wide open. While other brands only offer traditional matcha tins and whisk sets, Matcha.com goes the extra mile by reimagining what else matcha and green tea can be: a performance tool, a hydrating recovery blend, a space-age cube you can dissolve under your tongue. Even the ceremonial purists might be intrigued.
Here's a look at five of the most unexpected matcha products. Each one is proof that matcha is no longer just a beverage, but a wellness category.
Does decaf matcha exist? Yes, it does. Created with an all-natural, chemical-free decaffeination process, this Organic Decaf Matcha delivers all the hallmark health benefits of high-quality Japanese matcha (antioxidants, L-theanine, anti-inflammatory support), minus the stimulant.
It's gentle on digestion, soothing for sensitive systems, and makes for a great evening wind-down drink. And unlike caffeine-free teas, this still brings the creamy texture and earthy flavor you crave as you wind down the day. Ideal for those who want the ritual without the buzz or anyone looking to make their wellness routine nighttime friendly.
Ceremonial-grade matcha is the foundation here, with no shortcuts and no compromise on quality. But the twist comes by pairing tradition with natural flavors. Flavors in the series include chocolate and vanilla, each offering its own take on subtle reimagining.
But the mango blend stands out for its gentle fruit profile. It adds a soft, tropical roundness that complements matcha's natural depth without overwhelming it. The result is layered but easy, whether you're whisking it hot or shaking it over ice.
Wellness hydration is having a moment, and MATCHA-AID is one of the functional entries in the category. Designed as a daily hydration stick you can mix into water, it combines matcha with essential electrolytes, L-theanine, and adaptogens like organic ginseng and cordyceps.
Designed with active lifestyles in mind, the formula supports endurance, recovery, and energy without the synthetic pre-workout crash. It's just as effective for powering through a long day at work, bouncing back from travel fatigue, or recovering after holiday festivities. Its lemon flavor makes it an easy and refreshing swap for sugary sports drinks.
This one sounds truly out of this world: Space Matcha Organic Matcha Instant Cubes are tiny, instant-dissolving cubes that are the result of more than a decade of tech innovation (some of the same technology used by NASA). Designed for speed and portability, each cube contains organic ceremonial-grade matcha that can be dropped in water, dissolved in a smoothie, or simply popped under your tongue for a quick energy boost. It's arguably the most futuristic form of matcha yet, and there's even a ginger flavor for those who want a little extra zing.
While matcha is the main event, Matcha.com also offers a few lesser-known powders that stand on their own. Their fermented turmeric tea granules, sourced from Okinawa, dissolve instantly and are an easy, antioxidant-rich addition to water, smoothies, or your morning matcha.
Another standout is the aged black ginger tea, also crafted in Japan. It's naturally high in shogaol, a compound linked to improved circulation and anti-inflammatory effects. Both options mix easily, travel well, and offer a functional upgrade to your daily routine.
The growing matcha product lineup reflects a bigger trend: the shift from static rituals to flexible wellness tools. Whether you're a traditionalist who loves your whisk or a biohacker looking for clean adaptogens, these offerings expand the matcha category without diluting its roots.
