About Emeri Matcha Bar
Emeri is a Vancouver-based matcha brand built on a simple belief: we don’t define the best matcha, we help you find yours. We work directly with multi-generational farmers across Japan to source distinct expressions of matcha, each with its own character, balance, and story.
Our mission is to help people find a matcha that suits their palate while raising the bar for quality and experience across North America.
At our core, we are a hospitality-driven brand. We are building spaces that feel welcoming, energetic, and engaging. Spaces where people can come together, connect, and feel genuinely taken care of.
