Effective from the version 1.2.0
Please read these Terms of Use ("Terms") carefully before downloading or using the Matcha mobile application, developed by Creative Adventures Lab ("we", "us", "our") (available on the App Store and Google Play, also referred to as "Matcha", the "App", or "Service"). By installing or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not install or use the App.
This is a plain-language summary of the changes in version 1.2.0, provided for convenience. It does not replace the full Terms below; where this summary and a numbered Section differ, the Section governs.
Free vs Pro, rebalanced. Two things moved into the free tier this version: full CSV / JSON export and all four prep styles (Usucha, Koicha, Iced, Latte) — previously export, and every style except Usucha, required Matcha Pro. Everything that was Matcha Pro before staysPro, including custom brew timing (custom prep profiles), the taste radar, smart insights, and the unlimited cellar & journal. The free starter's 3-tin / 10-session limits and the 7-day trial are unchanged from the previous version. See Section 1 and Section 4.2.
Browse tab and affiliate links. A new Browse tab links to tea and teaware on Amazon. As an Amazon Associate we may earn a commission on qualifying purchases, at no extra cost to you. See Section 10.3.
Minimum age is now 16. The App is rated 16+ and requires a minimum age of 16, confirmed by an in-app access gate at launch — OS-verified in regulated regions, self-declared elsewhere. Where the App changes significantly, a parent or guardian may be asked to approve continued use. See Section 2 and the Privacy Policy, Sections 2.6–2.9.
Limitation of liability. We revised the limitation of liability section (Section 9).
New in the app. Matcha now supports logging and brewing teas beyond matcha — steeped green, black, oolong, white, herbal, and pu-erh teas with a temperature · time · re-steep flow, plus a custom "Other" tea type. It also expanded the recipe library from 8 to 28 recipes(the plain usucha bowl stays free; the rest are Matcha Pro, as before), and added a month calendar and a daily tracker with hand-logged other teas. All caffeine and freshness figures are rough on-device estimates, not medical advice — see Section 6.
L-theanine tracking removed. An earlier draft of this version's tracker also read an on-device L-theanine estimate alongside caffeine. L-theanine tracking has been deleted — the tracker reports caffeine only. Section 6.1 has been updated accordingly.
Correction. An earlier version of these Terms said a Matcha Pro subscription could be shared via Apple Family Sharing or the Google Play family library. That was an error — Matcha Pro is not offered through family sharing. Section 4.5 has been corrected.
Matcha is a personal matcha tasting journal, brew timer, and ritual tracker for iOS and Android devices. The App allows you to:
