At matchica, my journey began with a simple desire—to bring peace and tranquility into the chaos of everyday life. Amidst the hustle and bustle, I noticed a lack of time dedicated to self-care, to grounding oneself in the present moment, and cultivating a positive and uplifting mindset for the day ahead. As someone who has grappled with anxiety since childhood, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery in my late teens and early twenties, focusing on nurturing my mental well-being through small yet significant actions. 

In 2017, during my final year of school, I discovered matcha and made the switch from coffee—a decision that proved transformative. What began as a "little thing" quickly became a cornerstone of my improved mental health and overall well-being.

Having savoured matcha for nine years now, I am passionate about sharing the joy it brings me each morning. Thus, matchica—meaning "Matcha Girl"—was born. With strong ties to Spain, where I lived for many years, I sought to merge my passions: matcha, Spain, and the spirit of womanhood (chica) into one harmonious blend. I hope you love being a matchica and being a part of this everblooming community. Together, let's cultivate moments of calm, elevate our well-being, and savour the beauty of each day. 

Con amor y muchos sorbos,
