My name is Irem. Drinking tea has always been a part of my life due to my (Turkish) culture. Till this day I still enjoy drinking tea. I have always been a fan of green tea. In 2017, I had the chance to meet an old men who had his own little store. He sold coffee from Bali. I told him I was more a tea fan. He said: ’’ then you will love matcha! Do you know matcha?’’ I have never heard of matcha by then. He started taking out the bowl and matcha, poured a little water in it and started to whisk like the fastest robot ever! Till this day I have never seen someone doing it better or faster than him. I started to buy matcha in cafes. Later I bought it from local stores to make it at home, but the taste was just not the same or good at all. Later I bought my matcha’s from foreign websites for a way more expensive price.
I made lots of matcha treats and recipes with matcha too. My friends always told me to start my own thing in tea or matcha. After doing hours of research and trying a lot of samples, Yukai Matcha was born! A good ceremonial premium quality, highest grade matcha straight from Japan, a dream come true if you ask me.
With Yukai Matcha I want to make matcha accessible and easy for everyone. Preparing matcha is very easy and fun, you just need some background information and some tutorials maybe. For that reason I will post lots of fun tutorials, recipes, everything about matcha and sell ceremonial matcha on this website. Feel free to look and enjoy the journey!
