I’m Alex, a Kiwi who grew up in NZ before taking off to Berlin for 10 years. I’ve come home in 2025 and I wanted to bring back some of my favourite food products from there. I’ve always had gut issues, and in Germany I found Matcha, which has compounds that can nourish beneficial gut bacteria. Matcha is rich in polyphenols which is "good" bacteria like Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. Pairing that with Protein ice-tea and nut and seed heavy protein rich brown bread gave me the best body and belly health I ever had. I want to bring that back to NZ (for selfish reasons — I want more). But also to share products I’m passionate about with my fellow Kiwis.
