Mimi's matcha dream
One girl, obsessed with Japan, addicted to real matcha, and still waiting to see the sakura bloom with her own eyes.
Mimi grew up between Riyadh streets and Japanese anime soundtracks. She loved the culture — the quiet manners, the bold visuals, and the way a single bowl of matcha could slow an entire room down.
She became fascinated by Japanese matcha and the quiet ritual around every bowl. She would close her eyes and dream of standing under sakura trees in Uji one day.
So she travelled to Japan and came back with one promise: bring the original taste of Japanese matcha to Saudi Arabia — pure matcha from Uji and Yame, prepared your way.
That promise became MATCHLLO. Mimi still hasn't seen the sakura in person — but every tin she sends out carries a little piece of that dream, and a reminder that some obsessions are worth building a brand around.
