Mafia Matcha

We are SO excited to have @mafiamatcha at our upcoming retreat for a beautiful matcha workshop🌺🧚🏻🍵 we will learn all about the ritual of making your own matcha- which is honestly like a form of meditation for us🧘🏼‍♀️✨ Counting down the days!!! Vilte xx

I keep telling myself I’ll stop being surprised every time I visit the farm or a factory, and then I just… don’t. Every family we visit does something to me. Like, the tea company president’s uncle inviting us into his field, someone whisking us usucha and sliding a sweet treat across the tray, the youngest daughter quietly sweeping floors in the background. The owner who wakes up 3 times a night to check on the mills. The 84 year old farmer who grabbed a harvesting machine, those things are freaking heavy, and just showed me how it’s done. Still managing his fields and showing up. One craft. One life. In Japan you don’t jump around, you go so deep into your thing that one day your grandchildren are carrying it on. I find that kind of beautiful. These families have been doing this for generations. Passing down the craft, the secrets, the tiny details that make their tea theirs. Japan has genuinely changed how I think about work and relationships. It’s slow here, intentional. You show up, you respect the process, you don’t rush anything. We’re working with 4+ families now and every single business is completely different. Same industry, totally different obsessions… Anyway, I just wanted to share this. I’ll be uploading more stories from this trip soon, I promise. I’m just trying to soak everything in right now and be as present as possible. Some moments I don’t even want to reach for my phone or camera, you know? More soon🌱 Liza x

Japan trip. Finally after so long... 🇯🇵 Last year it didn’t happen, the business needed me too much. This year I can actually leave, and I’m going back to the source. Two weeks. Three farms. Shizuoka, Aichi, Yame. I’m going to meet the people who grow our matcha, see the land it comes from, pick the leaves together with the farmer and hopefully also find something we’ve never offered before. And YOU are coming with me! Follow our daily stories for behind-the-scenes from this trip. Everything will be saved to highlight so you can watch it all back x Let’s go 🍵

Something we’ve been planning for quite a while. We’re going back to the source. Announced tomorrow x

An evening to move, breathe, and reconnect with your body and inner voice 💚 We’re creating a space where you can soften, reconnect, and be present, freely and consciously 💫 Designed with intention, this is a moment to step away from the noise, return to your body, and give yourself time to feel, reflect, and gently open. We’ll begin with a 50 minute heart opening yoga practice with @noraonthemat , a gentle flow designed to soften the body, open the chest, and reconnect you with your breath and inner space. Then we will pause to sip matcha and hojicha by @mafiamatcha , made to order, hot or iced. A small ritual to ground, slow down, and savour the moment. 🍵 From there, we’ll move into a mindful communication workshop with @verbal___mente , with journaling and simple exercises to explore your voice and the way you connect with yourself and others. This will all be taking place at @segotia Rathmines, a beautiful yoga and creative space in Dublin designed for connection and community. 🪷 You’ll also receive a small goodie bag with a few surprises from all of us 🤗 Just bring a pen, you'll know why! 😉 If you’ve been craving a space to reconnect, feel, and open your heart, this is for you!

As summer gets closer and the Irish sunshine is finally putting everyone in a better mood, this recipe feels like the perfect warm-weather matcha. It starts with a light hibiscus and coconut water base, then gets topped with a creamy matcha cloud. The hibiscus brings a bright, slightly floral note without overpowering, while the coconut water keeps it refreshing and the matcha cream brings everything together. Coconut Hibiscus Matcha Cloud Ingredients for 1 serving • 2 hibiscus tea bags • 60 ml hot water • 45 ml heavy whipping cream • 3g matcha powder • Sweetener, to taste (we used honey) • Ice • 150 ml coconut water How to make it • Steep the hibiscus tea bags in hot water for 5–10 minutes, then set aside to cool. • Add the whipping cream to a small cup or bowl, sift in the matcha powder, and froth until thick but still pourable, around 30–45 seconds (the frothing clip is missing from the carousel!!). • Add your sweetener and cooled hibiscus tea to a glass, then stir to combine. • Add ice and coconut water, then top with the matcha cream. • Stir and enjoy ☁️ Tag @mafiamatcha when you try it! #matcha #hibiscus #matcharecipes #matchacloud

Hard to believe @dublincoffeefest was over two weeks ago already!!! Still thinking about all the good energy from that weekend. Our hojicha samples got so much love - launching early May and already feeling like the new favourite. We served Banana Bread Matcha & Hojicha and Peach Bliss Matcha all weekend, and we still can’t decide which one had more fans. Friday’s matcha macarons by @brewtique.ie were another standout… a lot of you found room for seconds. Most of all, thank you to everyone who came by. From first-time matcha drinkers to longtime lovers, café owners, baristas, and other lovely brands - you made it feel special💚
