Our Matcha

Matcha Muchacha is the first dedicated matcha bar in Puerto Rico, bringing ceremonial-grade matcha of the highest quality to the vibrant Santurce neighborhood in San Juan. We offer a core menu featuring the Original Matcha Tea, rotating Matcha Specials (flavored), and our signature Matcha Lemonade, alongside seasonal creations year-round. To enrich the local scene, we partner with nearby bakeries and artisans to offer fresh pastries and branded merchandise right here in our space.

Rooted in joy and community, our shop is designed as a home away from home—a place where everyone, from seasoned matcha lovers to curious newcomers, can connect over a great cup and share in the warm, laid-back vibes of a Sunday-afternoon hangout .

Our team is a collective of young Puerto Rican entrepreneurs with over 20 years of combined expertise in business management, customer service, sales, social media, and content creation. Backed by experience in highly regulated industries such as biopharmaceutical supply chains and quality assurance, we’re committed to delivering excellence in every sip and creating memorable moments for our community .

Matcha is often called the healthiest beverage in the world: it’s a shade-grown green tea (known as tencha) that is harvested before full leaf development, which boosts its chlorophyll and antioxidant levels. After steaming and drying, the leaves are deveined, destemmed, and stone-ground into a vibrant green powder. Traditionally, matcha is prepared in the Japanese tea ceremony (chanoyu)—a refined ritual blending aesthetics, philosophy, and hospitality to express respect, harmony, and simplicity, a practice passed down for over 400 years .
