but good matcha? Not so easy to find.

We were building a café and knew we wanted to serve matcha properly.
Not just something on the menu,

So we started figuring it out ourselves.
Testing, tasting, asking questions.
We flew overseas just to understand matcha better -
how it’s sourced,

We tried different farms,
explored different cultivars,
and kept refining until we found matcha we genuinely enjoyed.
Not just something “premium” on paper,
but something we’d actually drink every day.

whether it’s your first time or not.
