Country / Region

United States

Located in Brooklyn, Matcha Gradient is a Japanese-inspired caf茅 that transforms the sensory experience of tasting matcha into spatial form. The brand鈥檚 concept explores five levels of matcha intensity, mirrored in a gradual color transition鈥攆rom light green tones at the entrance to deeper hues near the bar鈥攃reating a journey of both flavor and

perception.



Inspired by Japanese Zen aesthetics, the interior features natural wood, minimalist lines,and soft lighting to evoke calmness and clarity. Every detail鈥攆rom the counter texture to therhythm of seating鈥攅ncourages visitors to slow down and breathe.



More than a caf茅, Matcha Gradient is a sensory landscape where taste, color, and spaceconverge, offering a tranquil pause within the city.
