Matcha demand is skyrocketing — and Japan is struggling to keep up.⁠
⁠
Despite record-breaking production, global thirst for matcha is so high that some Kyoto tea houses have begun limiting customer purchases. 📉⁠
⁠
Why?⁠
✔️ Social media trends (we're looking at you, TikTok 👀)⁠
✔️ 37M+ tourists visiting Japan—many stocking up on matcha like souvenirs⁠
✔️ More people switching coffee for green tea⁠
⁠
With matcha supplies tight, hojicha (a roasted green tea with less caffeine) is quietly rising as an alternative.⁠
⁠
