Hidden Gems: Meet Samantha Coffin of Matcha Nude

Today we’d like to introduce you to Samantha Coffin.

Hi Samantha, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
Matcha Nude exists because finding organic, pure matcha that tastes good, is affordable + good for the planet is actually pretty hard to come by.

In 2020, I gave up coffee. It had been a long time coming but I was so in love with the morning ritual of a warm cup of coffee. I loved matcha and how it made me feel, but couldn’t find an affordable option for daily drinking.

Then, I found Matcha Nude, then owned by Amelia Lehmann. She founded Matcha Nude for the very same reasons I discovered her. Matcha Nude offers affordable premium grade organic, non-GMO Japanese matcha in 100% compostable packaging.

Our matcha comes from Kagoshima, Japan, home to the active Sakurajima volcano, and one of the best growing regions. It is naturally soft and sweet in flavor and doesn’t need additional sweeteners.

Matcha sustains my lifestyle! The natural, calm and sustainable energy that Matcha Nude provides, the antioxidants, the clean bodyweight assistance, and helping to fight the free radicals in my body have assisted in helping my body thrive! Looking for recipe ideas? Be sure to check out our recipe collection that is always growing!

Together, I believe we can get affordable Organic Japanese matcha in the hands of all the babes, just like Amelia and I who desire to feel supported, inspired, and energized! Let’s show the world the power of this incredible tea + the lifestyle that comes with it.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
I had no idea how to start, own, operate, or do much of anything associated with owning a product-based business. It has been an adventure!

It started with reaching out to state and regional area resources for new and small businesses. Honestly, I have discovered that you don’t know what you don’t know until you don’t know it.

We’ve been impressed with Matcha Nude, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?

Why Matcha is Awesome:

According to research + studies on green tea from organizations such as the National Center of Biotechnology Information, matcha includes, but is not limited to, the following health benefits:

• High in antioxidants – more than 15 times that of blueberries!

• One cup of matcha has the antioxidant equivalent of 10 cups of brewed green tea

• Anti-inflammatory properties

• Enhances mood + aids in concentration

• High in EGCG catechins which have been linked to better heart health + metabolism

• L-Theanine – relaxes muscles + reduces anxiety, provides a calming energy

You may already know this but matcha is a one-stop-shop for your well-being offering a clean energy boost – a natural source of caffeine combined with the relaxing properties of L-Theanine gives you a boost without the jitters!!

We are always sharing recipes, tips, and general lifestyle tips and laughter mostly on our Instagram.

If we knew you growing up, how would we have described you?
I am absolutely a joyful optimist and always have been! I am driven and dedicated but also want to strive to make the world a better place.

I was always interested in living life differently, doing life differently. I went gluten-free in 2007 and started my low waste journey and less plastic life around the same time.

I was just 18 but I knew these were little choices I could make and others might join me when they see me doing it too. Somewhere in the 2010 area, I added more food and wellness to my journey.
