Welcome to YUMO Matcha 抹茶
YUMO Matcha 抹茶 was born from a deep love for tea and ritual. Our mission is to share the authentic taste and timeless elegance of matcha with tea lovers around the world, blending cultural heritage with modern wellness.
Our founder, Majduleen AlAli, is an Arab polyglot passionate about culture and mindful living. She created YUMO to make matcha both approachable and authentic. Our ceremonial grade matcha comes from Japanese Yakibuta tea cultivars organically cultivated on farms in Zhejiang, a region with a proud tea-growing heritage. Certified USDA Organic, EU Organic, and Halal, YUMO Matcha reflects both purity and tradition.
Over the years, Majduleen has studied matcha in depth, earned certifications in tea, and made many trips to China, all of which has shaped YUMO into a brand rooted in knowledge, respect, and cross-cultural connection.
At YUMO, you’ll find not only our premium ceremonial matcha but also inspiration to create your own mindful rituals at home.
YUMO Matcha is more than a drink; it’s a daily pause, a wellness ritual, and a bridge between traditions.
The Story Behind “YUMO”
YUMO comes from the Chinese characters 玉 (yù) and 抹 (mǒ).
玉 (yù), meaning jade, represents the deep green color of ceremonial-grade matcha; pure, vibrant, and precious. 抹 (mǒ), from 抹茶 (matcha) in Japanese and Mandarin, literally means “powdered tea.”
Together, they form YUMO: a name that embodies the beauty, color, and essence of matcha itself.
