What Is Kuwa Matcha?
All the matcha ritual. None of the caffeine.
Kuwa Matcha is crafted from stone-ground mulberry leaves — a plant long cherished in Yamanashi, Japan for its deep green color, earthy flavor, and extraordinary wellness properties. It whisks like matcha, layers beautifully into lattes, and brings a quiet clarity to every moment of your day. Naturally caffeine-free.
Also known as: Mulberry Tea, Kuwa Tea, Kuwanacha, 桑茶 (Kuwa Cha), Mulberry Leaf Powder. If you've been searching for a caffeine-free matcha alternative or mulberry leaf powder — this is it.
100% Caffeine Free — drink any time, any day
Rich in DNJ (1-deoxynojirimycin) — unique to mulberry
Yamanashi Prefecture is not just where we farm — it is where Japan's mulberry heritage began. For centuries, this region was the heartland of Japan's silk industry, which depended entirely on the mulberry leaf. No other region in Japan has a deeper, longer relationship with this plant.
Centuries of cultivation
Yamanashi has been growing mulberry longer than almost anywhere in Japan, with knowledge passed down through generations of farming families.
Exceptional quality, naturally
Our mulberry is grown in the clean mountain air of Yamanashi with deep attention to soil, timing, and craft. While not certified organic, we grow with the highest standards and full transparency.
Ministerial Award 2020
Recognized by the Japanese government for excellence in agricultural products — a rare honor that reflects decades of dedication.
Why It Works
The daily benefits of green, naturally.
Mulberry leaves have been prized in Japanese wellness for centuries. Modern research is beginning to reflect what Yamanashi farmers have long understood.
01
DNJ Compound
1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) is found almost exclusively in mulberry. It supports a healthy blood sugar response after meals — something no regular matcha can offer.
02
Truly Unlimited
Morning, afternoon, evening, before bed. No sleep disruption, no jitters, no crash. Just a calm, grounding sense of wellness, whenever you want it.
03
Rich in Antioxidants
Mulberry leaves are dense in flavonoids, polyphenols, and chlorophyll — powerful antioxidants that support daily health and vitality.
04
Pregnancy-Safe Daily Green
With zero caffeine, Kuwa Matcha is a nourishing choice for expecting mothers who want to maintain a healthy green tea habit without the worry.

Our Story
Rooted in Yamanashi. Grown with purpose.
Kuwanosato was founded on a single conviction: that the mulberry leaf — long treasured in Yamanashi — deserved to be known by the world, exactly as it is.
2008 — Founded
We began farming mulberry in Yamanashi Prefecture, a region with deeper ties to the mulberry plant than perhaps anywhere else in Japan. From the start, our focus was on quality over volume — choosing the right leaves at the right time, grown the right way.
2015 — Stone-Ground Process
We developed our proprietary slow stone-grinding method to preserve the full nutritional profile of the mulberry leaf — including DNJ — while achieving the vibrant green color and smooth texture that makes Kuwa Matcha so special.
2020 — Ministerial Award
Recognized by the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture for excellence in food products. A milestone that reflected not just our quality, but the farming tradition of Yamanashi behind every tin.
2024 — Coming to the US
We are bringing Kuwa Matcha to the United States for the first time — because everyone deserves a daily green drink they can actually enjoy, any time of day, without compromise.
We grow mulberry the way it has been grown in Yamanashi for generations — with patience, with respect for the land, and with no shortcuts. That is what makes Kuwa Matcha different.
