Where
Ceremony
Continues.
16 Matcha is a contemporary matcha house inspired by the traditions and philosophy of the Japanese tea ceremony.
Our Story
More Than
A Thousand Years
In The Making.
From the Tang Dynasty in China to the tea masters of Japan, matcha has been refined through centuries of discipline, craftsmanship, and ceremony.
The House
Status Stays Outside.
Presence Enters.
Inspired by the nijiriguchi, the humble entrance to the tea room, every guest is welcomed equally. Tea is not consumed. It is received.
The First Offering
Ceremonial Matcha.
Preserved In A Tin.
Our first offering is a ceremonial-grade matcha carefully selected for its balance, sweetness, and depth. Each tin is designed to be kept, refilled, and passed down.
Our Philosophy
Every bowl is an invitation to slow down, to be present, and to honor the moment.
