About Our Matcha

Ceremonial Grade, Whisked the Traditional Way.

We use ceremonial grade matcha, stone ground into a fine, vibrant green powder with a smooth, naturally sweet flavor. Every cup is hand whisked to order in a brisk zigzag motion, the same technique used in traditional Japanese tea preparation, to fully dissolve the powder and build a light, airy froth without clumping. No pre mixed bottles, no shortcuts, just matcha whisked fresh in front of your guests.

Sourced With Care

Real Matcha, Traced to the Source.

Our ceremonial grade matcha comes from Ujido, a Japanese matcha company with nearly two centuries of cultivation experience rooted in Kyoto's Uji region, the historic birthplace of matcha. The tea is grown on small family farms across Uji and Shizuoka, shaded in traditional covered tea gardens and harvested for only the youngest, greenest leaves before being slow ground to preserve flavor and antioxidants. No lower grade imports, no shortcuts, just the same tea trusted by generations of Japanese growers.

Good to Know

Matcha Catering Services FAQ

What is ceremonial grade matcha? +

Ceremonial grade matcha is the highest quality tier of matcha, stone ground into a fine, vibrant green powder with a smooth, naturally sweet flavor. It is meant to be whisked with water rather than blended into a sugary base.

Can the matcha cart be booked on its own? +

Yes. The matcha cart is a fully standalone station and does not need to be paired with our espresso bar. Many clients also combine it with an espresso bar, lemonade stand, or hot chocolate bar for a fuller beverage lineup.

How much does matcha cart catering cost? +

Pricing depends on guest count, event duration, and location. Sunny Cups provides a free custom quote for every event rather than a flat rate.

How many guests can the matcha cart serve? +

A single staffed matcha cart typically serves 75 to 150 guests over two to three hours; larger events add baristas or stations to match guest count.

Do you offer dairy free or alternative milk options? +

Yes. Oat milk and almond milk are available as add ons alongside whole milk for every matcha drink on the menu.

What is included in a booking? +

A booking includes the fully stocked matcha cart, professional barista staffing, cups, straws, and napkins, setup and breakdown, and a menu built around your event. Add ons like specialty syrups or extra hours can be built into your quote.

How much space does the cart require? +

The matcha cart needs roughly a 6 by 4 foot footprint on a flat, level surface, plus a little extra room behind it for the barista to work. We can also work with tighter spaces, just let us know your setup when you request a quote.

How many drinks per hour? +

A single staffed matcha cart can typically serve 40 to 60 drinks per hour depending on the mix of classic and specialty orders. For larger guest counts or faster service, we can add a second barista or station.

Can we book on short notice? +

We do our best to accommodate short notice requests whenever our schedule allows, though we recommend booking at least two to three weeks out during peak wedding and event season to guarantee availability.

Is the matcha actually high quality? +

Yes. We use ceremonial grade matcha, the same tier used in traditional tea ceremonies, sourced for its vibrant color and smooth, naturally sweet flavor. Every drink is hand whisked to order rather than blended from a powder mix.

What about dietary restrictions? +

Oat milk and almond milk are available alongside whole milk for every drink, and our syrups are made in house so we can adjust or leave out ingredients for allergies or preferences. Let us know any dietary needs when you book.

How does pay per drink work in practice? +

With pay per drink pricing, you are invoiced based on the actual drinks served at your event rather than a flat guest count estimate. It works well for open bar style events where consumption can vary. Let us know if you would like your quote structured this way.

Can we customize the experience? +

Yes. Menus, syrups, cart signage, and add ons can all be tailored to your event, and the matcha cart can be booked on its own or paired with our espresso bar, lemonade stand, or hot chocolate bar.

What areas do you serve? +

We serve the entire San Francisco Bay Area, including the Peninsula, South Bay, East Bay, North Bay, and down the Central Coast, from San Francisco to Santa Cruz and Monterey.

What is the minimum booking? +

Most matcha cart bookings run a minimum of two hours of service. Exact minimums can vary by date and season, so reach out with your event details for an accurate quote.

Do you cater weddings? +

Yes, the matcha cart is a popular addition to Bay Area weddings, whether as a standalone station or paired with our espresso bar for a full beverage lineup.
