Lochaya was founded by Lara Jaafar, a biology teacher who carries home in her heart wherever life takes her.
Lochaya grew from both Science and experience. Through her studies and her own journey, Lara understood the biology behind wellness, that what we consume shapes our energy, mood, and clarity. Through fast-paced days, heavy workloads, and constant movement, she craved balance, something more gentle, more stable, and more nourishing than the sharp rise and crash that coffee often brings.
That’s when she turned to matcha, not as a trend, but as a more balanced way to start the day.

From that ritual – Lochaya was born.
