behind the scenes of how & where our matcha is packaged. 💚

our matcha is packaged onsite in japan immediately after milling, in a temperature-controlled facility, where each pouch is sealed within a 30-second process.

timing matters because matcha’s exposure to air and light speed up the oxidization of matcha, which dulls the colour, flattens the complexity of flavour, and brings out more bitterness. so before every bag gets sealed, an oxygen absorber is dropped inside to remove the excess air even after almost all of it’s been removed during the filling & sealing process.

we are so grateful to be working with our farm partners who put the highest standard of care into every pouch of matcha, whether that’s from cultivation, milling, packaging or even hand checking every pouch after it’s been finished 🍵🫶

so when you’re purchasing your next tin of matcha, look for the following quality control signs:
1. if an oxygen absorber has been added
2. a best before date
3. packaged in japan after being milled

emeri turns 2 today! 💚🎉

we made this video to share a little more about what emeri means to us, and why we chose the name in the first place. at the heart of it all, it’s always been about creating a space where people can come as they are, share their differences and experiences, and hopefully leave with their day a little better than how it started.

we wouldn’t be here without our team and our community. whether you found us at a pop-up, ordered a tin online, came by our matcha bar, or have been with us since the beginning, thank you for everything!

to celebrate 2 years, we wanted to give back in a way that feels meaningful to us and this journey. from august 12 - 14, we’ll be matching 100% of the tips our team receives across the and donating the proceeds to PowerPlay Young Entrepreneurs, to help support future generations of young entrepreneurs as they work toward their own dreams.

from the bottom of our hearts, thank you for giving us a chance when we were just two people at a folding table, and for continuing to grow with us! we are truly forever grateful for you all. 🥹

here’s to another year of learning, refining, and slowly raising the bar together! 🫶

pt. 1: our team’s favorite matcha on the new menu 🍵

we get asked a lot about our favorites & recommendations, but the truth is we all have our own taste preferences, even as a team!

3/4 are okawari fans, but we’ll see what happens in pt. 2 😉🫶

welcome to our bold matcha rotational menu at emeri matcha bar! 💚

we knew this menu would be a bit of a risk. these are our boldest matchas yet, and because the flavors are more unique and punchy, we recognize they can be a little polarizing!

but that’s also why we wanted to share them. every matcha has something different to offer, and if this helps even a few people find their preferred flavor profile, we think it’s worth it. 💚

if you try one and it isn’t for you, please let us know. we truly appreciate you giving it a try, but as always, we’ll make sure you leave with a drink that better suits your preferences! 🍵

one month ago, we opened our doors as a permanent storefront. here are the 7 things we’ve learned since our grand opening 💚

#1: opening is just the beginning, far from the finish line

being open doesn’t mean the work is done, if anything, it’s when the real work begins. 🍵

#2: every guest is different

this month, we’ve watched new and familiar faces walk through our doors, and it’s been everything we dreamed of. we’re learning that everyone is different, more than just taste. some of you want speed, some want the full story.

but with everyone that walks though our doors, we aim to make each interaction personal to them. 🤗

#3: pressure is a privilege

we’ve felt the weight of every guest expecting us to deliver, because for someone, today might be their first time trying us. but through all of it, we keep coming back to the same gratitude: this is a privilege.

thank you for choosing to spend our time with us. 🍵

#4: try to remember the hundred things that went right vs. dwelling on the one thing that went wrong

we’ve read reviews that stung more than we expected, even knowing that the kind words outnumber them a hundred to one. we’re learning to hold onto the highs without dwelling too much on the lows, and staying true to our purpose.

#5: overstaffing > understaffing when possible

we’ve learned that choosing to overstaff even when it’s hard financially is always worth it, because your experience matters more to us than anything.

#6: community is earned

if you’ve been one of our familiar faces this month or have even tried to pop by, thank you. getting to learn your name and your go-to order is not something we take lightly (though we apologize ahead of time if our memory is a bit short-term during this period 😅)

you’re the reason we show up with excitement, even on the hard days. 💚

#7: our team is everything

none of this happens without our dream team. we’re grateful to be building this with all of you. 🫶

an energizing first three weeks at emeri matcha bar 💚

firstly, thank you all for your continued support, patience, and kind congratulations. it has truly meant the world to us. 🫶

we’re incredibly appreciative of everyone who has been part of this journey, from our pop-up community and the mount pleasant community to our all-star team.

and please note that we’re constantly learning and your feedback is being heard!

we’ve been intentionally overstaffing to help move through the lines more efficiently and reduce wait times for our guests! every matcha and hojicha is hand-whisked to order with care, so while we can’t guarantee short waits at all times, we’re doing everything we can to improve your experience. 🫡

thank you all again for everything! grateful doesn’t even come close to describing how we feel 🥹
