it started as an idea in early 2025 as a matcha kit, but something felt off: it was functional, and not personal. in early 2026, i've been seeing circular kondo's (sifter beads) so i wanted to create them. but i wanted people to feel something when they picked up their beads, not just use them.
so i went back to the drawing board (literally). each design became hand-drawn, and each one carries its own meaning, a small reminder that meets you where you're at.
the mission: give people permission to pause for themselves, and make that pause fun.
the reminders:
- wellness should feel like joy, not discipline
- ritual is for everyone, beginner or expert
- a design should mean something you actually recognize in yourself, not something you have to reach for
- you don't need to be an expert to start; you just need a reason to slow down
every habiyo set is designed to be picked, whisked, and loved, not just used.
so collect the ones whose meaning fits your morning, your mood, your whole vibe. that's the point. little things that bring you joy/reminders.
go make your matcha a little more you.
