I kid you not, the first time I tried Matcha I darn near spat it out! I thought it wasn't for me. I am sure some of you can relate. However, I was convinced to try it again when I saw it being used in a cake. Random? I know!

I am glad I did! I realised the quality of matcha I tried initially was poor and I also had it with lukewarm water (so not the best introduction). However, after giving it another shot I fell in love.

Not only was it absolutely delicious, it also transformed my life. I was more productive, more relaxed and my mood significantly improved every time I drank it.

I started paring it with my Jamaican flavours and here began the journey! I started the very first Matcha company in Jamaica and then moved to Japan shortly after to immerse myself in the culture and learn more about Matcha.
