Monte-San Matcha was born from a simple idea: that how we start our day can change how we experience it.

After years in fast-paced corporate environments, we both reached a point of burnout. During a trip to Japan, we discovered matcha not as a trend, but as a ritual — a moment of pause, focus, and intention. Preparing matcha forced us to slow down, breathe, and reclaim control over our time. That ritual changed our relationship with work, energy, and ourselves.
