Matcha Catering Los Angeles
matcha bar Los Angeles · matcha cart catering · ceremonial matcha catering
Chef-led matcha catering for corporate events, brand activations, weddings and private gatherings across Los Angeles. Ceremonial-grade tea, prepared properly, served at the same standard as our espresso bar.
Ceremonial-Grade Matcha Bar & Cart Service
blumbru treats matcha the way we treat coffee — as something a chef would put their name to. Ceremonial-grade tea sourced from Uji, whisked to order, served traditionally or as a latte, with dedicated equipment and baristas trained specifically to prepare it.
It is not an add-on to the coffee cart. It is a service in its own right, and for a growing number of our clients it is the reason they book.
Where Matcha Service Works
Designed for a range of corporate event formats.
Beauty, wellness and lifestyle launches
Matcha carries the right associations for beauty and wellness brands, and it gives non-coffee drinkers something they actually want. Increasingly the centrepiece of an activation rather than the alternative option.
Offices, all-hands and client hosting where not everybody drinks coffee. Matcha service means the alternative option is as considered as the default one.
Ceremonies, receptions and late-night service. Matcha works particularly well at afternoon events where espresso feels heavy.
On-set and talent-facing service across Culver City, Burbank and Hollywood, where matcha is frequently the specific request from talent.
A More Considered Coffee Cart Catering Experience
Led by over 20 years of hospitality experience and a foundation in specialty coffee, including origin sourcing in Guatemala.
Chef-led, not commodity
Founded by a chef with two decades in culinary and hospitality, blumbru treats coffee with the same intention as food.Specialty-grade beans, hands-on origin sourcing in Guatemala, and ceremonial-grade matcha from Uji — served at a standard your people will notice
Built for throughput
Staffing is scoped to the break, not to a fixed ratio. A two-hour open reception for 100 and a fifteen-minute conference break for 400 are entirely different problems, and we quote them differently.
Straightforward to procure
Certificate of insurance, W-9, vendor onboarding and PO-based invoicing are all standard. We work with procurement teams often enough that none of it slows the booking down.
Designed for the workplace
Setups are quiet, clean and deliberately restrained. Our display is built to sit inside an office or conference floor without turning it into a food court.
The Menu
Traditional preparation — ceremonial-grade matcha whisked and served on its own
Matcha lattes — hot or iced, with dairy or alternative milks
Seasonal matcha — rotating preparations built around the season
Chef-composed signature matcha — developed for your event or brand
Served alongside the full espresso bar, not instead of it
Built for Brand Environments
Designed to integrate into brand environments and guest-facing spaces.
Ceremonial grade, not culinary
Ceremonial grade is the tea intended to be drunk on its own. It is why our matcha can be served straight rather than hidden under syrup.
Sourced from Uji
Uji has been the reference point for Japanese matcha for centuries. Our tea comes from there, and we can tell you exactly what is in the cup.
Whisked to order
Every drink is prepared when it is ordered. Nothing is batched in advance, which is the single most common shortcut in event matcha.
Dedicated equipmentable
Matcha is prepared with its own equipment, kept separate from the coffee service, by baristas trained specifically to make it.

Serving Matcha to Los Angeles
FAQs —
Answers to common questions about corporate coffee catering in Los Angeles — pricing, guest capacity, customization, and booking with blumbru.
Ceremonial-grade matcha sourced from Uji. It is the grade intended to be drunk on its own rather than baked into things, and it is what allows matcha to be served straight rather than buried under sweetener.
Both. Matcha can be whisked and served traditionally, or prepared as a latte with your choice of milk. Most events run both, because guests split fairly evenly between the two.
Yes, and most clients do. Matcha sits alongside the full espresso bar rather than replacing it, so guests are not asked to choose between a good coffee and a good matcha.
Yes. Matcha is prepared with dedicated equipment and by baristas trained specifically to make it, so there is no cross-contamination of flavour with the coffee service.
Yes. Oat, almond and other alternatives are available, and matcha in particular is often ordered with oat.
Yes. In addition to matcha, we offer specialty espresso and coffee catering, curated teas, and seasonal beverages. Every option is developed with the same culinary approach and presentation standards as our matcha bar.
Very little. We handle full setup, service, and breakdown. Most events require an 8'x8' footprint and access to a standard 120v outlet. All logistics are confirmed during planning — no surprises on event day.
Yes. blumbru is equipped for both indoor and outdoor events across Los Angeles. For venues without power access, generator service is available upon request to ensure seamless operation.
