DRINKERS, YOU DID THIS AGAIN.
We’re officially Beauty Awards 2026 finalists across THREE categories.
We’re finalists for:
Brand Founder of the Year -
Best Supermarket Buy - stocked at and
Best in Wellbeing
For a matcha brand that started because we were deeply offended by the state of matcha, this is a truly epic moment.
To be recognised alongside so many incredible New Zealand brands is humbling. We’re so grateful to the Viva judging panel, and even more grateful to every single Drinker who has whisked, sipped, stocked, shared, gifted, reordered, DM’d, reviewed and backed Nomu from the beginning.
Now Drinkers, we need your vote. And you could win.
Everyone who votes for Nomu will go in the draw to WIN A YEAR’S WORTH OF NOMU MATCHA.
One. Whole. Year.
No s**t matcha for 12 whole months.
To enter:
1. Vote for Nomu in our three categories via the link in bio
2. Send us a DM with a photo of your “Thanks for voting!” confirmation
3. That’s it, you’re in the draw
Voting is open now and closes 27 May. The winner of the year’s worth of matcha will be drawn on 28 May and announced on this post.
Thank you, Drinkers. Thank you for supporting no s**t matcha. Thank you for helping us take Nomu from “surely we can do this better” to a 3X Viva Beauty Awards finalist.
As always, never drink a s**t matcha again.
Tessa & Karen
