EVENT SPECIAL: Guava Matcha 🩷🍵💚
If you've been into the store recently, you will have noticed the cherry guava tree in our garden is threatening to bury us under its delicious (but sooo plentiful) fruit.
To prevent disaster, we have decided to create a ✨️limited edition iced matcha✨️ which will be available for purchase at our upcoming blackout poetry workshop!
This workshop will themed around disaster and renewal, so using the proverbial lemons to make lemonade felt appropriate to us.
DETAILS 👀
🩷 Limited edition guava matcha will be available at The Cruellest Month event, on the 11th of April, 1-3pm
💚 Drink will be served iced, with milk of choice, for $7
