WHO ARE WE?
Hi! We're Claudia and Otto Boyer
We were both wired and jittery, running on too much coffee and not enough calm. Then we discovered matcha.
But finding delicious matcha in the UK? Impossible. So we went to Japan to source the best, meeting the makers, tasting hundreds, and learning what makes matcha truly great.
We brought that discovery home, creating JENKI in 2020 to share the ultimate matcha experience with London and beyond.
Our name comes from genki 元気, the Japanese word for life force, energy, and vitality. That’s what we’re here to spread: clean green energy that lifts you up, not crashes you down.
JENKI MATCHA
We’ve always focused on matcha that tastes incredible - smooth, vibrant, and full of flavour.
With over 200 cultivars in Japan and countless regions and processing styles, we source matcha worth discovering and enjoying every day.
We look for a rich green hue, fresh aroma, creamy foam, and a clean, balanced finish that leaves you feeling good.
From Uji and beyond, every powder is chosen for its flavour, texture, and whiskability; low bitterness, just clean green caffeine.
THE HISTORY OF MATCHA
Matcha has been around for years. It’s what the monks have been drinking in Japan since the 1100s to maintain hours of meditation! Straight from the hills of Uji, Japan, our matcha is single origin and from a family run farm. Stone-ground, with stems and veins removed, leaving just the good stuff.
