It’s matcha’s world and we are just living in it


Matcha is the moment—green, glowing, and giving the main character energy. Whether you are heading to pilates, hitting the padel courts, or simply curating your perfect Pinterest-worthy afternoon, these matcha treats will keep you glowing and energised.

Think aesthetic layered lemonades, nourishing chia puddings, and tropical green smoothies that feel as good as they look. These recipes are quick, wholesome, and totally vibes.
