We Are Drinking So Much Matcha That Supplies Are Running Out
Matcha tea, a powdered Japanese green tea, has become a cultural phenomenon in the West, so much so that its popularity has resulted in a global supply problem. Western consumers have thirsted for the health option in recent years, a trend skyrocketed by social media—especially through Tik Tok. At the same time, Japan has experienced a mass tourism rise in the post-pandemic years—in 2024, Japan welcomed a record-breaking 36.9 million international visitors, surpassing the previous record of 31.9 million in 2019 — leading to many mass tea companies and local vendors to report shortages of supply. Back in October 2024, two well-known matcha companies—Ippodo and Marukyu Koyamaen—limited and/or stopped selling certain kinds of matcha, citing short supplies. 'Dear customers, We have been receiving an unexpected high volume of orders during the past few months. Taking production scale and capacity into consideration, we regrettably announce that availability for all Matcha products, regardless size and packaging type, will be limited from now on,' Marukyu Koyamaen's website still reads. Matcha comes from the same plant that many different teas come from— the camellia sinensis. The camella sinensis leaves can be made into green tea, oolong tea, and black tea. Though matcha originates from China, it has become closely associated and rooted in Japanese culture. Matcha is a type of green tea, but the processing, form and taste differs significantly, and is made specifically from tencha, a shaded green leaf tea. Matcha also only makes up a small amount of Japanese tea production—just 6%—according to the Global Japanese Tea Association. Yet, the demand has skyrocketed. And as a result, prices have also soared. According to Forbes, the matcha market is expected to hit about $5 billion by 2028, an expected growth of more than 10% since 2023. Further, the Japanese agriculture ministry has reported that the 2024 tencha output was over 2.5 times higher than 2014. The question is whether increased demand, small farmers trying to meet this demand, and a crop that is heavily dependent on weather patterns can keep up, even as the spring matcha harvest attempts to make up for the shortages of the past year. This year, though, the Kyoto region of Japan, which accounts for a large percentage of tencha harvest, was hit with a hot and dry harvest season, say farmers in the area. In 2025, Zach Mangan, founder of Kettl Tea, a Brooklyn-based company specializing in high-quality teas imported directly from farms in Japan, called this year's harvest a 'high-quality but lower-yielding harvest' in a blog post in May of this year—the kind of harvest that will boost demand and lower availability, potentially raising prices even further. Read More: The Surprising Reason Your Groceries Are More Expensive According to the Global Japanese Tea Association, the average price for tencha in late April reached 8,235 yen per kilogram, which is 1.7 times higher than last year's average. And according to producers, that can only be expected to continue. 'Over the past year, demand for matcha has grown beyond all expectations,' Ippodo updates customers on July 18. 'Unfortunately, supply constraints are likely to continue.'

Astronomer recruits Gwyneth Paltrow as ‘temporary spokesperson' amid fallout over viral Coldplay kiss cam clip
Astronomer has a surprising new face as the company navigates a social media firestorm. Actress and businesswoman Gwyneth Paltrow appeared in a cheeky Q&A video posted by the IT company on social media Friday night after two of its top staffers resigned in the wake of an extremely public 'cheating' scandal . Astronomer's CEO, Andy Byron, and the executive in charge of human resources, Kristin Cabot, both resigned after the pair was caught by surprise cuddling and smiling on the Jumbotron at a Coldplay concert in Massachusetts last week. Their smiles fell when they realized they were on camera, as Cabot covered her face and spun away from the camera, and Byron ducked out of the frame. 'Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy,' lead singer Chris Martin joked in the clip. Paltrow, who is also Martin's ex-wife, has been hired 'on a very temporary basis to speak on behalf of the 300-plus employees at Astronomer,' she said in the video. 'Astronomer has gotten a lot of questions over the last few days, and they wanted me to answer some of the most common ones,' Paltrow continued in the video. As text reading 'OMG! What the actual …' appears on screen, Paltrow reassures viewers that 'Astronomer is the best place to run Apache Airflow.' 'We've been thrilled so many people have a new-found interest in data workflow automation.' As a question about the social media team appears on screen, Paltrow jumps in again: 'Yes! There is still room available at our Beyond Analytics event in September.' 'We will now be returning to what we do best: delivering game-changing results for our customers,' she said, thanking viewers for their interest in the company. The New York-based company, which provides big companies with a platform that helps them organize their data, was previously relatively obscure. With files from the Associated Press

Astronomer hires Gwyneth Paltrow with a wink after 'kiss cam' viral video
Data company Astronomer may be making lemonade by hiring Gwyneth Paltrow as a "temporary spokesperson" to answer questions in the wake of a viral "kiss cam" video. The company made headlines after internet sleuths identified its CEO and chief people officer as the man and woman seen embracing and then hiding their faces on a "kiss cam" at a July 16 Coldplay concert. Both have since resigned. Paltrow appeared in a television-style spot on Astronomer's social media on Friday making a pitch for the company's everyday strengths. "Astronomer has gotten a lot of questions over the last few days, and they wanted me to answer the most common ones," said Paltrow, who split with Coldplay singer Chris Martin in 2014. Paltrow cut off a question that started with "OMG!" to emphatically say, "Yes, Astronomer is the best place to run Apache Airflow." "We've been thrilled so many people have a newfound interest in data workflow automation," she added. She interrupted another question — "How is your social media team holding ..." — to make a pitch for an Astronomer conference in September. Paltrow concluded, "We will now be returning to what we do best — delivering game-changing results for our customers." CEO Andy Byron resigned on July 19, and Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot followed on Thursday, according to statements from the company. Their body language after the camera captured them in an embrace led Martin to remark on stage, "Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy." Astronomer said afterward it was investigating the incident. "Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability," it said on July 18. The company confirmed Thursday that Cabot was the woman in the video. Neither she nor Byron have responded to requests for comment. Astronomer, a New York-based company, helps companies develop, grow, and analyze products using artificial intelligence.
