Leading the Evolution of
Matcha in Nigeria
We believe wellness shouldn't be complicated. That's why we're bringing the ancient wisdom of Japanese matcha to modern Nigerian lifestylesâone daily ritual at a time.
Why Now? Why Nigeria?
Nigeria is at the center of Africa's wellness revolution. We saw an opportunity to lead it.
The Nigerian Opportunity
Nigeria's economy is booming. Our professionals are working harder than ever. But traditional energy solutionsâcoffee, energy drinks, sugarâare failing us.
We saw Nigerians struggling with afternoon crashes, poor focus, and wellness products that weren't designed for our climate, our culture, or our ambitions.
That's when we discovered matcha. Not just any matchaâceremonial-grade, scientifically-backed matcha that delivers sustained energy without the crash.
