May 16 & 17: @somethingdifferentdc Matcha World DC at Dock 5!! please note: we’re fully booked for private events in May but we may be able to fit in weekday events 🤧

we had the honor of working with @by.kerima after meeting at our very first pop-up in @pottersunion back in January to create something very meaningful to us: Zellige inspired matcha bowls. this geometric pattern is very common in North African architecture, ceramics and more - especially in Morocco. if you know me personally, you’d know I have a background in geometric art and so combining my two favorite things only made sense. debuting tmrw @ Matcha World, will be available for purchase on our website next week while supplies last.

April is Arab American Heritage Month and we’re so excited to finally spotlight a Middle Eastern and Arab-forward cookbook, something we’ve been meaning to celebrate for a while now. It feels especially meaningful to share it with our community this month. We’re highlighting the work of Mariam Daud, the beloved creator behind @mxriyum with over a million following across her platforms, whose debut cookbook I Sleep in My Kitchen brings together 100 flavor-forward recipes, including her signature bakes and deeply personal dishes. And to make the experience even more special, we’ll have exclusive matcha drinks by @dimatchai , a DMV-based, woman and Arab-owned matcha and tea bar redefining the modern pop-up experience. Known for their signature syrups and culturally inspired flavors, Dimatchai creates more than just drinks, it’s an experience rooted in slowing down, connecting with others and reconnecting with yourself. @wovenhistory will be hosting us - a true staple of the Eastern Market community and a longtime gem on Capitol Hill. A family-owned textile store that has been connecting people with rugs and weavings from around the world since 1986 beginning as a vendor at the iconic Eastern Market Flea Market. April 26, Sunday 3PM 315 7th St SE, Washington, DC Your ticket includes: • Admission to the event + tastings of all the dishes from our Cookbook of the Month • One complimentary drink from Dimatchai • Vote for (and celebrate!) our Best Dish Winner • Best Dish Winner will win $50 gift card, Cookbook Courtyard Totes and goodies We hope to see you there!

let’s make a matcha latte using Samidori! 🍵 this cultivar has become my all time favorite due to its lack of bitterness & deep umami with a subtle nutty finish. i was struggling to find a Samidori matcha that isn’t a blend & is easily accessible in the US for a reasonable price point.. so we hit up our Uji-based supplier & took matters to our hands. 🫡 available for purchase on our website & at pop-ups.
