SHOP FOUNDING BATCH 001
  • FROM UJI, JAPAN

    Sourced from Uji, Japan — home to some of the world's most respected matcha.

  • SMOOTH, NOT BITTER

    Balanced flavour with enough depth to cut through milk without becoming harsh or grassy.

  • MADE FOR DAILY LATTES

    Built for iced matcha, hot lattes and everyday routines. Not just special occasions.

MATCHA, MADE SOCIAL

KIMIKO started because Kim became obsessed with finding a matcha she'd actually look forward to drinking every day. After months of tasting samples from Japan, we finally found the one.

We wanted something smooth enough for everyday lattes, strong enough to cut through milk and good enough to actually look forward to drinking.

Built for slow mornings, late-night chats and matcha runs with friends.

OUR STORY

KIMIKO started because of Kim's love for matcha.

Whether it was travelling miles to try a new café, recreating recipes she'd found online or trying hundreds of different matcha brands, matcha slowly became part of our everyday life.

The more we tried, the more we realised something was missing. Some looked incredible online but didn't taste the way we'd hoped. Others were too bitter, too grassy or disappeared completely once milk was added.

So instead of settling, we decided to create the matcha we wanted to exist.

We didn't want to build just another tea company.

We wanted to build a matcha brand that felt modern, social and genuinely exciting to be part of!

That's how KIMIKO was born.

Not your calm, quiet tea brand.

  • THE MATCHA

    Use your whisk to mix 2–2.5g of KIMIKO matcha with around 30ml of warm water until smooth and lightly frothy.

  • THE GLASS

    Fill your glass around 80% with ice, add roughly 140ml oat milk and a little vanilla syrup.

  • THE POUR

    Slowly pour your matcha over the milk and finish with a tiny pinch of salt to balance the flavour.
