I’ve always been drawn to places where life feels more intentional – where taste, ritual, and atmosphere come together in a way that stays with you. I was born in Istanbul, a city where tea is more than a drink – it’s a moment of connection. It’s where generations gather, where conversations flow, where time slows down. That sense of ritual has always stayed with me. Years later, while traveling through Japan, I experienced something that would completely redefine
my path. Matcha – in its purest form.
Not the version the world often sees, but true ceremonial-grade matcha: smooth, vibrant, deeply
grounding. It wasn’t just the taste – it was the feeling. The precision, the calm, the beauty of the ritual. In that moment, I realized how misunderstood matcha is outside of Japan. And I knew I wanted to
bring that authenticity back into the world – in a way that feels both elevated and emotionally connected.
That’s how Matcha Bunny was born.
Founder of Matcha Bunny
A space where Japanese tea culture meets modern lifestyle. Where ritual meets design. Where luxury meets playfulness.
Every detail of the brand - from the colors to the textures to the bunny itself - comes from my own vision. I never worked with an agency. It was built from my experiences, my travels, and how I feel when I drink matcha.
The cotton candy pink represents joy. The vibrant green represents purity and nature. The soft blue reflects calm and balance.
We use ceremonial-grade matcha sourced directly from organic farms in Japan – with no additives or compromises.
What started as a café in Basel has grown into something much more.
Every experience is designed to feel like stepping into something special – a small escape from the
everyday.
This is only the beginning. My vision is to expand Matcha Bunny globally – from Basel to Istanbul, London, Paris, New York, and beyond.
A universe where matcha becomes part of a lifestyle – not just something you drink, but something you feel.
