About Us
“Matcha made personal — no two sips are the same.”
Somewhere Sips is an independent matcha store and online shop based in Brisbane, Australia. We specialise in carefully curated ceremonial-grade matcha sourced directly from Uji, Kyoto, and surrounding tea-growing regions of Japan. Each product we offer is personally selected — we taste and evaluate everything before it reaches our shelves, prioritising quality, freshness, and character.
We make regular sourcing trips to Japan to deepen our understanding of the craft and bring back matcha that speaks to both tradition and evolving taste. Whether it’s a well-known name or a lesser-known gem, we choose matcha with purpose — not just what’s popular, but what we believe in.
Our goal is to make high-quality matcha more approachable, without compromising its roots. From daily lattes to quiet, intentional moments, Somewhere Sips exists to offer matcha that fits naturally into your routine.
Our Values
Respect the Craft
We honour the work behind every tea — from the farmers to the producers — by staying close to the source and sharing it with care.
Quality Over Hype
We select matcha based on taste, freshness, and how it performs — not based on trend or branding alone.
Curated, Not Crowded
We keep our range focused and purposeful. If it’s on our shelf, it’s because we truly stand behind it.
Genuine Service
We serve from the top of our hearts — whether it’s answering a question or packing your order, we treat every interaction as personal.
Sustainable Growth
We operate independently and grow at a pace that allows us to keep quality and integrity front and centre. No rush, no shortcuts.
