2 WFH Sisters and 1 Dog Sharing Our Travels in Bicol and Manila

The Matcha Tokyo pop-up at The Travel Club+ TriNoma

Parang kelan lang nag post ako dito ng manifesting "barkcha" which is matcha drink date with my dog kasi nakita ko yung sa Zeus Coffee na "meowcha" edition. A PR godfather fairy contact made it a reality thru The Travel Club + and The Matcha Tokyo collab.


May pop up kiosk kasi si The Matcha Tokyo, nililibot niya yung branches ni The Travel Club +. This time sa Ayala Trinoma which is the last branch this season. 



Meron silang 3 matcha drinks dedicated to 3 countries for under the theme Osaka Special Expo:

🇯🇵 Japan: Matcha Melon Cream Soda

🇨🇦 Canada: Matcha Maple Cream Latte

🇰🇷 Korea: Matcha Banana Crème Brûlée


They prepare the matcha in front of you. Though wala na yung part na mini-mix yung matcha powder using whisk kasi ito  nakikita ko sa branch nila sa Mitsukoshi Mall in BGC. Parang pre-mixed na but better kasi shorter waiting time.



Yung nagustuhan ko ang sa Korea kasi creamy and sweet tapos with hint of banana. Ang bango habang parang tino-toast slightly yung brown sugar on top. In fact, it is the BEST SELLER daw sabi ng staff.


Second favorite ko is yung sa Canada. Kasi sweet din. Nagustuhan ko din yung maple leaf design on top. I think it is like some kind of sweet cinnamon. Mabango din.


Yung sa Japan naman, hindi sya para sa akin. Soda and matcha for me is hindi ko lang talaga bet. However, it is still worth trying.


The Matcha Tokyo is one of the best matcha cafes in Manila. They really use ceremonial grade matcha which is the highest kind. Hindi lang siya the most tasty but it is also the most nutritious. I watch so many wellness-focused contents now online kasi. The best matcha also heals the body. 



The Travel Club + and The Matcha Tokyo's exclusive pop up is only until July 13 lang. These matcha drinks are not available in any of The Matcha Tokyo's cafes kasi this is pcne again an exclusive offer with The Travel Club+.


The Travel Club + is a pet-friendly shop offering mostly travel products like luggages. Lately, they added pet products na din recognizing the increasing population of people traveling with their pets. If you wanna gift someone a The Travel Club + GC, check this out https://invl.me/clmrnon.
