A magician never reveals her secret but I’ll show you a little behind the magic

How my 2AM random idea found it’s way to the Manila Matcha Fest ↳

a 2AM idea

Like most of our unique signature drinks, our Magic Matcha started with craving very specific flavors, so vivid and specific I could almost taste it. This time I craved for something I’ve never had before: a clear gulaman with Matcha.

RND took 3 weeks. Building it was like solving a puzzle. Every cup I made led me to problems that needed to be resolved.

I tried different variations and ratio. It was a rabbit hole but I had specific goals I wanted to achieve with Magic Matcha:

1. It has to be familiar and nostalgic
2. It needs to be a magic show in a drink form, it needs an illusion
3. I wanted to also get a specific reaction from people who will try it: wide eyes followed by grin and then a little laugh

Until I found the one that didn’t made my tummy hurt lol and that ticked my short list of how I wanted it to be

and just in time for our Nuvali matcha pop up

Meet the very first people who have tried Magic Matcha. No existing reviews, it was a blind buy for them and they liked it! Thank you!

From Santa Rosa, Laguna our Magic Matcha made its way to Metro Manila: Alabang Town Center to Glorietta and then Eastwood. It was our best-selling drink!

Met Doc Gem who’s been supporting Block 6 Cafe since our Day 1 (we’re 5 years old!). She was the first to suggest that the Magic Matcha might also work with Hojicha.

This was at our Glorietta pop up where we first met Ethan of Too Much Matcha. He’s drank the most Magic Matcha and Hojicha than anyone we’ve ever know and met, a fun fact haha

The Magic Matcha went back to Nuvali and from selling only 5 cups to 50+ cups in a day for this drink. Growth.

Then we received an inquiry from Ethan if we could collab and bring the Magic Matcha & Hojicha at the Manila Matcha Fest in MOA. And of course, we were game to do it!

The RND was done remotely and Ethan did so well

Who would’ve thought that my random 2AM idea would make it to the biggest and the OG matcha fest in Metro Manila?

10 days of Magic Matcha and Magic Hojicha. You guys were lining up for it and we

new matcha powder line-up 🌧️

We’ve been serving the first batch of our Okumidori for the past two weeks, and now we’re excited to introduce two new powders:

✶ Nagi - a premium powder blend grown in Kyoto region, harvested during spring

✶ Sayamakaori - a spring harvest single cultivar from Shizuoka

𖤣 Block 6 Cafe • Santa Rosa, Laguna

Nagi, the calmness of the sea, the stillness after a storm.

Elegant in lattes yet truly shines as usucha or koicha.

Sayamakaori, the fragrance of Sayama.

Celebrated for its aroma, beautiful on its own and equally enjoyable as a latte.

Okumidori, deep green.

Its pleasant bitterness softens in a latte giving way to a delicate savory finish with an almost salted note.

Restocking: late August (open for 1kg pre-order)

That shade of green✨

This is what our Level 2 Ceremonial Matcha Latte looks like (we highly suggest getting this matcha strength level)

Our ceremonial matcha may taste different to some, as it has little to no bitter taste but makes a very smooth matcha latte cup with bold umami.

If you're looking for that “pait”, we recommend our Classic Matcha powder, made from late-harvest tea leaves.

We’ve been sourcing both matcha powders from a trusted supplier in Kyoto, Japan, since 2021. Both are grown shaded and stone-milled. It is 💯 authentic so stocks are limited.
