A Mission Inspired by Love for the Culture
Discovering Matcha: 2019
In 2019, our founder Ellis was deep into his wellness journey, exploring ways to feel more balanced, focused, and present each day. Coffee had always been part of his routine, but the crashes and anxiety that followed pushed him to search for something better.
That search led him to matcha. What began as curiosity quickly became a ritual, one that fuelled calm energy and clarity without compromise.
Discovering the Culture: 2021
In 2021, Ellis travelled across Asia, but it was Japan, and the calm hills of Kyoto, that left the deepest mark.
Life there moved with intention. Every moment felt unhurried, every detail cared for. There was balance, presence, and a quiet beauty in the way people lived.
In that stillness, Ellis found clarity, a way of life he wanted to carry forward and share through his own work.
Idea to Reality: 2022 - Present
Ellis soon realised something was missing. An innovated version of the product that the world was beginning to finally see.
That’s when he decided to create it himself: an organic ceremonial-grade blend enriched with nutrients designed to support energy and well-being from the very start of the day.
It was the perfect balance of tradition and function, and the beginning of Kyo’s Matcha: Blends built to nourish both mind and body, inspired by the calm balance he found in Japan.
