Wag of the Week: Matcha Michi

I'm so excited to kick off this weekly series where every Monday I spin the wheel (results will be posted in my instagram stories) and spotlight one of the businesses from the WAGSS directory! Throughout the week they will feature in stories and their own blog post like this one!

Firstly, as a very brief overview- Matcha Michi is of course a Matcha business, founded by Yi Jia, and the business directly orders all of their stock from Japan. It is a very high quality product, so ladies you may want to treat yourselves!

By spotlighting the businesses, I mean really focusing on introducing them beyond just their profile. So, I thought why not do a little Q&A... but first, some pictures!

Feast your eyes... they're stunning.
