EVENT SPONSOR: KAIKA

I’m Kai! An Orlando-based creator crafting matcha inspired by comfort, creativity, and connection . What started as a way to heal slowly turned into a passion for sharing drinks that bring people together. “Kaika” means “to bloom” in Japanese, inspired by my love for cherry blossoms and the reminder that life is short, so cherish every moment with the people you love, one cup of matcha at a time.
