Mikayla McClean

Founder of Ceremony

Ceremony is my lived experience. A brand that is deeply resonant of who I am and how I move through the world.  It is built around the rituals that ground me each day, and the belief that small moments can have a big impact. Gifting to others is a love language, and it brings me so much joy to be able to share Ceremony in your daily rituals.

Built with Intention

We began by sourcing the productd we could not find. High-quality ceremonial matcha and the tools that honour both its origin and rituals.  Inspired by the Japanese tea ceremony itself, each decision is guided by quality, sustainability and a clear sense of purpose. Ceremony exists to bring structure to the everyday through small, considered rituals that can make life feel more grounded.

Rooted in Origin

Our matcha is sourced directly from Kagoshima, Japan, a region known for its rich volcanic soil, mountain air, and exceptional tea cultivation. We work closely with farmers who prioritise careful growing practices, first-harvest leaves, and traditional milling processes. The result is a vibrant green, balanced powder made to be enjoyed daily.

Made for Daily Ritual

Ceremony is not about perfection or performance. We focus our attention on creating pause. A few moments each morning to bring calm and clarity into ordinary life. From the weight of our bowls in your hands, to the first sip of matcha, each element of our ritual is sustainable enough to return to every day.
