Brand Tone

Aspirational & Refined, Authentic & Trustworthy, Friendly & Accessible, Passionate & Enthusiastic, Modern & Clean

Brand Values

• •Quality & Authenticity: Sourcing the "purest, most authentic, and delicious matcha," specifically ceremonial grade from Japan. This includes stone-ground matcha.
• •Mindful Consumption & Wellbeing: Promoting matcha as a way to support focus, energy, and overall well-being, encouraging a mindful daily ritual.
• •Customer Experience: Aiming to provide a delightful journey into premium green tea, from product to preparation. This extends to beautiful and functional accessories.
• •Accessibility: While premium, they strive to make high-quality matcha available and understandable, even for beginners.
• •Sustainability & Ethical Sourcing: Mentioned in relation to their matcha being sustainably grown. An Australian entity with the same name (and potentially an affiliate or an earlier version of the NZ brand, given shared product imagery styles sometimes seen with new brands) explicitly states a mission for "high quality and sustainably sourced matcha," including "ethical sourcing" and "sustainable farm practices." While the NZ site doesn't detail this as heavily, "sustainably grown" is noted.

Best Practices

• •Prioritize "Quality" and "Authenticity": Always use descriptive language that reflects the premium nature of the ceremonial grade matcha and its Japanese origin (e.g., "stone-ground," "vibrant green," "authentic," "pure," "finest Tencha leaves").
• •Embrace the "Ritual": Frame matcha preparation and consumption as a mindful, enjoyable experience or a "ritual" rather than just a beverage. Use words like "elevate," "savor," "mindful moment," "cherished ritual."
• •Maintain a Clean & Elegant Voice: Mirror the brand's visual aesthetic with clear, concise, and sophisticated language. Avoid overly casual slang in website copy or product descriptions, but allow for a more relaxed, friendly tone on platforms like TikTok.
• •Educate & Inspire: Share the benefits (sustained energy, focus, antioxidants) and the story behind the matcha in an informative yet inspiring way. Make it accessible for newcomers while still appealing to connoisseurs.
• •Consistent Visual & Verbal Language: Ensure the tone of the copy aligns with the visual elements used across all platforms. If the image is serene and minimalist, the copy should reflect that. If it's a vibrant TikTok video, the copy can be more energetic while still being on-brand.
