Cuzen Matcha, a San Mateo, CA-based food-tech startup, raised $3.6M in Series A funding.
The round was led by Digital Garage Group, with participation from Joyance Partners, and over twenty angel investors.
The company intends to use the funds to expand its market presence while furthering its commitment to sustainability while Japanese matcha tea culture.
Led by Eijiro (“Ey-jee-roh”) Tsukada, Founder and CEO, Cuzen Matcha produces fresh matcha from organic, shade-grown leaves and innovative technology. Since launching in 2020, the brand has emerged as a frontrunner in the matcha tea market, with its at-home maker and matcha leaf system, which produces matcha from organic shade-grown leaves from Japan.
The funding follows the recent launch of the Cuzen Matcha Maker for Business, which blends the at-home maker with the value required for a restaurant or cafe. The prototype of the business service was unveiled in April at the Specialty Coffee Expo in Portland, Oregon.
Cuzen’s matcha-making at-home system is available to order at www.cuzenmatcha.com and on Amazon. The new Cuzen Matcha Maker for Business will roll out in 2024.
