We didn’t start MUA CHA because the world needed another matcha brand.

We started it because we wanted to create something that felt like us.

I’m Sam, born in Taiwan. This is Jam, Vietnamese-Australian.

Our drinks have always been about more than putting flavours together.

Our Matcha Special starts with Taiwanese high-mountain oolong infused with honey, followed by milk and Japanese matcha.

Our Ho Chi Cha Special brings Vietnamese coffee cold foam together with Japanese hojicha.

Different places. Different traditions. One cup.

We use premium organic tea and keep our drinks naturally sweetened with ingredients like honey, maple and agave: because we want you to actually taste the tea underneath everything else.

As MUA CHA has grown, a lot of you have joined us without knowing who the two people behind the counter actually are.

So let us reintroduce ourselves.

We’re Sam & Jam. And this is MUA CHA.

If you’ve been here since the early days, tell us how you first found us.
And if you’re new here, what culture should we blend into a drink next? 🌏🍵 taken in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia by @muachatea

OCTOBER DATES 🍵

We’re back, bigger & busier - bringing Mua Cha to even more corners of Melbourne this summer (can you tell we’re suckers for sunshine?)

And… you kept asking, so we’ll cave 👀

🌫️ TAIPEI FOG IS OFFICIALLY LAUNCHING THIS SATURDAY at Stay Soft.

Think: fragrant Taiwanese red oolong, lemongrass honey + a creamy matcha coconut cold foam.

Save the dates, bring your tea bestie & come say hi 👋🏻

The drink everyone keeps asking us to bring back.

Meet the Hồ Chí Cha - our Vietnamese Coffee Hojicha. Our take on a dirty hojicha, reimagined through our Vietnamese roots. Roasty hojicha, bold Vietnamese coffee, and a flavour combination that somehow just works.

If you haven’t seen it on our menu lately, that’s intentional.
It’s been our @lygonstmarket exclusive! 

We’re bringing it back this Sunday at Piazza Square.

Sunday 5 July.
10am–3pm.

Tag the friend who’s finally getting you to try it. 🤎

This morning with LilBig was exactly why we built Mua Cha, bringing together people who care about movement, wellbeing and good energy.

Matcha is more than a pretty drink: naturally caffeinated, rich in L-theanine and antioxidants, giving you a smoother, more sustained sense of energy and focus than the usual coffee hit.

Huge thank you to everyone who ran, sipped and spent the morning with us.

What is oolong tea? 

From fresh, floral Baozhong to warming Dong Ding and deeply oxidised Red Oolong, the final flavour depends on two things:

1. Cultivar = the ingredient
2. Tea-making style = the recipe

Change the leaf, and the same recipe can create a completely different personality.

My Red Oolong comes from Taitung on Taiwan’s east coast. The type of type I’ve been drinking since 10. Hand-picked on a family farm, it’s smooth and naturally full of wild peach, guava and light honey notes.

Cold-brewed after a sweaty workout.
Served hot after a big meal.
For me, it tastes like home 🏠

Send this to the friend who also loves oolong.

How do you like your tea:

Melbourne’s viral Mont Blanc, but with a little Asian flair. 🍊☁️

Meet our Oolong Cloud - our tea-inspired take on the viral Melbourne coffee Mont Blanc.

Peachy Taiwanese Red Oolong, creamy cheese cold foam, and a zesty orange kick. Inspired by Melbourne’s coffee culture and rooted in our love for Asian flavours, we’ve combined Sam’s childhood tea memories with his Melbourne experience to create something uniquely Mua Cha.

A little Taiwan, a little Melbourne, and a whole lot of tea love. 

Come try our take on the viral Melbourne Mont Blanc at our next pop-up! ☁️

Matcha isn’t just powdered green tea. 🍵

And sencha, tencha, hojicha, gyokuro and kabusecha aren’t different plants either.

They all start with Camellia sinensis.

What changes is what happens after the leaf is grown: shading, steaming, rolling, roasting, refining and milling.
