Finding Matcha by Nemo

Matcha lovers in Greater Malé who want properly made matcha desserts, not just matcha flavouring. Also for anyone looking for quality matcha powder to make drinks or bake at home.

If you've never tried matcha: Nemo recommends his matcha brownies as a gentler entry point (sweeter, balanced) and the lava cake for people who want the full intense matcha experience.

Based in Malé. Orders through Instagram DM on @findingmatchabynemo.

Everything revolves around matcha. The page started as "Finding Brownies by Nemo" with just matcha brownies, then expanded:

• Matcha brownies — the original product. Crispy outside, gooey inside. Available with dark chocolate or white chocolate chunks.
• Matcha cookies
• Matcha cheesecake — listed in Lonumedhu's "Sweet Treats to Order" recommendation
• Matcha lava cake — intense matcha experience, recommended for people who already like matcha
• Matcha ice cream — also mentioned in "Sweet Treats to Order"
• Matcha powder — his own branded packaging, sourced from farms in Kyoto, Japan. Two grades: patisserie-grade (for baking) and latte-grade (for drinks).

He goes through 5–6 trials before adding a new product, taste-testing with close friends. He prefers a stronger matcha taste but balances it milder for the local market.

Future items he's mentioned: matcha tiramisu, earl grey + matcha fusion, matcha with raspberry or strawberry.

Prices: not publicly listed. Prices available via Instagram DM.

• DM @findingmatchabynemo on Instagram
• He takes pre-orders and sometimes offers items for instant purchase
• He makes everything himself, so capacity is limited

Lead time, delivery area, and minimum order size are not stated publicly. Ask when you message.

Both Lonumedhu and MV+ have covered this business. Combined highlights:

Sourcing transparency: he's open about matcha sourcing challenges. He sources from multiple farms because global matcha demand outstrips supply. When a farm's blend changes between seasons, he does a taste test before placing a bulk order and tells customers about any changes.

Niche commitment: where most home bakers in Greater Malé do cakes, brownies, or cookies in many flavours, Nemo went all-in on matcha. That focus means he's iterated more on matcha specifically than a generalist baker would.

Editorial endorsement: Lonumedhu included Finding Matcha by Nemo in their "Sweet Treats to Order" recommendation list alongside five other businesses, describing the range as covering "all your cravings" for matcha.

Where to try matcha in Malé (Nemo's recommendations from Lonumedhu): matcha latte at Bianco Coffee & Eatery, matcha and hojicha ice cream at Iceto. These are separate businesses — mentioned here because Nemo cited them as good first matcha experiences.

• New to matcha? Start with the brownies. The sweetness balances the matcha. The lava cake is for people who already know they like strong matcha.
• Matcha powder grades: patisserie-grade for baking, latte-grade for drinks. They taste different — the baking grade is stronger. Ask which you need.
• Supply gaps: matcha powder availability depends on Japanese farm harvests and global demand. It may be out of stock between shipments.
• He's transparent about changes: if the source farm or blend shifts, he discloses it. The taste can vary slightly between batches because matcha is a natural product.
• Favourite combo: earl grey + matcha, per his Lonumedhu interview. If you like earl grey, ask if he has anything in that direction.

• Published price list or price range for desserts or matcha powder
• Exact delivery area and delivery fees
• Phone number (ordering appears to be IG DM only)
• Whether the matcha tiramisu or fusion flavours he mentioned have launched
• Whether he still plans to open a physical café (mentioned as a future goal in Lonumedhu)
