At Kiyomi, matcha is more than just a drink. It’s a way to savor life’s simple pleasures, a daily ritual, and a symbol of connection. We’re Kiki and Mika, two sisters who have been sharing a love for matcha for nearly a decade. What started as a curiosity quickly grew into a passion, shaping how we take moments for ourselves and for each other. 

Our journey with matcha has taken us across the globe. From the vibrant streets of New York City to the charming cafes of Germany, and even to the sunlit coasts of Spain, we’ve been on a mission to find the best matcha wherever we go. Along the way, we’ve discovered some truly incredible blends, but we’ve also learned that not every cup lives up to the promise of authentic, high-quality matcha. The search wasn’t just about taste. It was about finding matcha that could deliver the full experience; rich in flavor, vibrant in color, and steeped in tradition. 

For us, matcha is more than what’s in the cup. It’s the process of preparation, the aroma of freshly whisked tea, and most importantly, the pause it creates in our busy lives. Matcha is our moment of calm, a way to reset, and a chance to reconnect. Not just with ourselves, but with each other. Whether it’s a quiet morning ritual or a shared moment after a long day, matcha has become a cornerstone of how we unwind and bond. 

Out of our shared love and countless years of searching, Kiyomi was born. We wanted to create a brand that reflects everything we value; exceptional quality, respect for tradition, and the joy of sharing meaningful moments. 

The name Kiyomi, which means "pure beauty" in Japanese, perfectly captures what we strive to share with you. It represents the purity of the matcha, the beauty of the ritual, and the joy that comes from savoring each sip. For us, Kiyomi is a tribute to the tradition and artistry behind matcha, as well as the meaningful moments it inspires. 

Every aspect of Kiyomi has been crafted with care, from sourcing premium matcha from the renowned tea fields of Japan to ensuring it’s the perfect blend of smooth, creamy flavor and vibrant freshness. 

We’re so excited to share Kiyomi with you, not just as a product but as an experience. Whether you’re new to matcha or a longtime enthusiast like us, we hope Kiyomi becomes part of your own journey. An invitation to pause, savor, and create moments of connection.
