DOTC Meetup Recap | Saturday at Isshiki Matcha
This past Saturday, our café was filled with warmth, conversation, and the soothing hum of community, thanks to an incredible meetup hosted by @dotc.nyc (Dose of Travel Club).
Over delicious matcha lattes, guests gathered to connect, share stories, and spark new friendships, all in one cozy afternoon. 🍵🌏
Who Is DOTC?
Dose of Travel Club is a group travel collective empowering South Asian travelers to explore the world through curated, once-in-a-lifetime adventures. We were honored to host their New York meetup as they build excitement for their upcoming group trip to Japan this September ✨
Matcha as the Common Ground
There’s something powerful about coming together over a shared cup. Watching attendees sip matcha, exchange stories, and find common threads reminded us why we do what we do. Matcha, at its core, is a ritual and on Saturday, it became a ritual of community.
From first-time sippers to long-time fans, everyone found something grounding, comforting, and connecting in the drink and in each other.
Shoutout to Athena Club 💜
A special thank you to Athena Club for the cutest addition to the event with their colored travel razors that guests were obsessed with.
What’s Next?
We’re beyond excited to continue our partnership with DOTC as their journey leads to Japan—where Isshiki’s matcha story began. And this is just the beginning. More meetups, more collaborations, and more summer events are on the way.
Stay tuned. We’ll have the matcha ready. ☀️
Huge thanks to @dotc.nyc for bringing their vibrant community into our space—and to everyone who showed up, connected, and made the day so special.
