ABOUT US
From Coffee Jitters to Matcha Magic
I'm Maggie, and my love affair with matcha began in the most unexpected place — a psychology classroom during my undergraduate studies.
The Discovery That Changed Everything
Like many college students, I was surviving on coffee — too much coffee. The jitters, the crashes, the anxiety that came with each cup were taking their toll, especially since I didn't digest it well. That's when I discovered matcha, and everything changed. Here was a drink that energized me gently, tasted incredible, and left me feeling centered rather than scattered.
I was so captivated by this transformation that I had to share it. That's when I brought Gerardo into what would become our shared passion for authentic Japanese matcha.
A Problem Worth Solving
After graduation, we returned to Mexico with a mission. We searched everywhere for the high-quality matcha that had transformed my daily routine, only to find disappointing sweetened powders that bore little resemblance to authentic Japanese matcha.
Building Bridges to Japan's Finest Tea Gardens
In 2017, we began importing high-quality matcha directly from Japan's most revered tea-growing regions — first from the historic Uji region, then expanding to include the prestigious farms of Yame and Shizuoka.
The Long Game
The first five years weren't easy. We spent countless hours educating café owners, baristas, and tea enthusiasts about what makes truly exceptional matcha different. We shared the stories behind each harvest, the centuries-old traditions, and the profound difference that quality makes.
Today, our patience has paid off. Hundreds of cafés trust us to deliver authentic Japanese matcha, and our direct-to-consumer family has grown to include customers who've been with us since day one.
Growing Across Borders
What started as my personal quest to find better matcha has expanded across borders. Now incorporated in both Mexico and the United States, Gerardo and I continue our mission of connecting tea lovers with Japan's finest matcha, no matter where they call home.
Our Promise to You
Every cup of our matcha carries with it centuries of Japanese tea tradition, the dedication of farmers, tea masters and our commitment to quality. We believe that your daily ritual deserves nothing less than exceptional quality, mindful moments, and the gentle energy that only authentic matcha can provide.
