Sanko is a US-based company on a mission to provide the technology infrastructure that allows people to consume higher quality matcha anywhere and everywhere.
Matcha’s flavor, color and nutrients start degrading the moment it is milled. Most matcha is 6 to 18 months old by the time it is whisked, and up to 30-40% of its EGCG is gone within two months at room temperature. A century ago nobody bought matcha at all. They bought tencha, and everything was ground fresh.
We use new materials, scientific insight and functional design to build countertop milling equipment and contemporary preparation tools for how matcha is actually consumed today. Incorporated in Delaware, working with partners in Japan and Mainland China, and building for cafés and matcha drinkers worldwide.
