Despite the chill of a cold Tuesday night, the warmth of community and creativity radiated from Isshiki Matcha Cafe, where guests gathered for an unforgettable matcha-infused Galentine’s celebration. Hosted by Urban Social Collective in collaboration with Isshiki Matcha, the evening was all about self-love, friendship, and connection—a perfect way to honor the spirit of Galentine’s Day.
Crafting, Connection & Capturing Memories
Attendees embraced their creative side at interactive craft stations, where they designed pop-up Valentine’s cards, customized hair clips, and made friendship bracelets—whether to match their crew or their new friends made that night! The energy was lighthearted and fun, with guests chatting, laughing, and letting their creativity flow.
The Valentine’s-themed photo booth was a standout feature, offering a chance to capture sweet, silly, and heartwarming moments throughout the evening. Friends posed together, new connections were documented, and everyone left with memories to hold onto.
A Special Matcha Moment
One of the most anticipated highlights of the night was the Matcha Moment at 8 PM, led by Angel Zheng, founder of Isshiki Matcha. Her passion for matcha shone through as she guided guests through a live demonstration, sharing the artistry and ritual behind making the perfect cup. This hands-on experience brought a deeper appreciation for the craft of matcha, making it a truly sensory experience—warming both hands and hearts on a chilly night.
Until Next Time!
A huge thank you to everyone who came out, sipped, crafted, and celebrated with us! Whether you arrived with friends or left with new ones, we hope you walked away with a little more love (and matcha) in your heart. 💚
Stay tuned for more events, and until next time, keep spreading the love!
