A few years ago, I dropped out of university without really knowing what I wanted to do. While everyone around me seemed to have a plan, I felt completely lost. So instead of forcing myself down a path that didn't feel right, I decided to travel.

I spent time exploring Thailand and Australia, meeting new people, experiencing different cultures and trying to figure out what actually made me happy. When I eventually came home, I still didn't have all the answers… until I found matcha.

What started as a small daily routine quickly became something I completely fell in love with. Matcha gave me energy without the crash, became part of my wellness journey, and honestly changed my lifestyle. I became obsessed, not just with drinking it, but learning everything about it.

That obsession led me to Japan.

I travelled around Japan visiting matcha farms, meeting farmers, learning about traditional production methods and tasting some of the highest quality matcha in the world. I wanted to understand what made truly good matcha different, and I knew I wanted to bring that experience back home with me.

Now, after all the travelling, learning and dreaming, i've opened my very first café!

Maddie's was created to share the best matcha I could find with you guys, while creating a space that feels welcoming, calming and inspiring. Whether you're already a matcha lover or trying it for the first time, I'm so excited to have you here and be part of this journey.

Thank you for supporting my dream.
