About Us

Who are we

Our founder, Dané Prinsloo, has been trying out different matcha brands and powders for over 5 years now. She realised that South Africa has many low grade matcha powders on the market, resulting in the majority of people disliking it.

She found some better quality matcha’s for a very high price point which was not practical for a regular matcha drinker. The brands on the market also seemed very generic and serious, which is the opposite of how matcha makes her feel.

Dané decided to bring high quality matcha straight from Japan to South Africa with Matcha Mami, making high-quality ceremonial grade matcha powder available to more people. She created a fun brand with bright pink to make the matcha making process even more enjoyable.

Our matcha powder is shade grown, hand-picked, steamed and aired dried and stone ground in Kyoto, Japan.

To make high-quality matcha accessible and to build a community of matcha-lovers who enjoy the little luxuries in life.

Our Values
