Japanese-inspired specialty café in Redmond, Washington. Ceremonial grade matcha drinks, house-made donuts, and small-batch coffee. Open daily 11 AM – 7 PM at 16595 Redmond Way, Suite 165, inside the Eastline building.
MOWOOD is a matcha bar and donut shop on Seattle's Eastside. We are in downtown Redmond, a few minutes from Overlake, the Microsoft campus, Marymoor Park and the Redmond Technology light rail station, and a short drive from Bellevue, Kirkland, Sammamish and Woodinville. If you are looking for matcha near Redmond, a donut shop on the Eastside, or ceremonial grade matcha east of Seattle, this is us.
MOWOOD takes its name from two words for the same thing — moku (木, wood in Japanese) and wood in English, the "mo" drawn from the first syllable. A nod to warmth, natural craft, and the quiet beauty of the Pacific Northwest, blended with the Japanese sensibility that runs through everything we make. Two cultures, one root.
MOWOOD sources ceremonial grade matcha produced through a six-stage process rooted in Japanese tea tradition.
Tea bushes stretch across misty hillsides in quiet rows. Weeks before harvest, shade nets cover the fields, slowing growth and deepening the green that defines matcha.
Only the youngest buds are picked by hand. One bud, two leaves. This single choice shapes everything that follows.
Fresh leaves are steamed within seconds of picking. A brief pulse of heat locks in color and nutrients, stopping oxidation before it starts.
Granite mills turn slowly, producing just forty grams per hour. The low speed keeps the powder cool, preserving its delicate flavor and bright color.
A small pour of water, worked into a thick paste. Then more water, and the chasen moves in rapid W-strokes until the surface becomes a smooth, mirror-like green.
Every step leads to the same place: the arc of green light in your cup.
Stone-milled from ancient tea-growing mountains.

We bake with what's freshest at the market and what the season is offering. Ask at the counter to see what we made today.
We use ceremonial grade matcha — the highest grade, stone-milled slowly from shade-grown tea leaves. It's meant to be drunk straight or with milk, not baked with. The color is a deep, vivid green. The taste is clean and slightly sweet, with no bitterness when prepared correctly.
Starbucks matcha is a sweetened powder blend — it contains sugar as its first ingredient. Ours is unsweetened ceremonial grade matcha. We control the sweetness ourselves so you can taste the actual tea.
Matcha and coffee both contain caffeine. Our smoothies (Strawberry Skin Glow and Coconut Pineapple Glow) are caffeine-free. If you're sensitive to caffeine, those are your orders.
