With 4theluvofMatcha, Megan Rragami brings a curated matcha bar experience to weddings, showers, and other special events

By Giuseppa Nadrowski

A two-hour wait time started it all for Megan Rragami, the owner and founder of 4theluvofMatcha.

Launched in summer 2025, 4theluvofMatcha is a boutique mobile bar service that offers ceremonial-grade Japanese matcha and perfectly curated experiences for events like weddings, bridal showers, birthdays, and corporate gatherings throughout Michigan. You can even find her pop-ups at local gyms, Pilates studios, and med spas. 

Customization is a priority for Rragami, who offers her clients the ability to customize cups, labels, and menus to match an event’s aesthetic. “It makes each event unique,” she says. 

Her house-made syrups, which are free of added sugars, can also be fully tailored to a theme. Popular flavors include banana pudding, strawberry, blueberry, and vanilla. “I do switch the menu monthly,” she notes. “It gives people a lot more variety and options.”

Ceremonial-grade Japanese matcha, known for its vibrant hue, is created from “the youngest, most tender green tea leaves, usually shade grown, and it’s ground super finely,” Rragami says. She offers her clients only the highest quality, sourcing her matcha from Uji, Japan, often referred to as the birthplace of matcha. Matcha also contains half the caffeine of a cup of coffee, Rragami says. 

“It’s like a slow release of energy throughout the day,” she says. “It doesn’t make you crash, which is what I liked and why I started drinking it.”

Her love of matcha began during the COVID pandemic when she discovered the popular drink on TikTok. She began experimenting at home to craft her now-favorite drink. Fast forward to last summer, and Rragami found herself waiting for hours in a line to order matcha at a pop-up in Detroit, only to find out it wasn’t very good. 

“In my head, I was like, ‘Wow, if I waited two hours in line, then I feel like anybody would for a good product.’ I texted my fiancé and told him I was going to start a business,” she says. 

With a bachelor’s degree in human resource development and a minor in marketing from Oakland University, Rragami had always thought her career would follow a more corporate path. Matcha changed that. 

Following the pop-up, she went home and created an Instagram profile under the name 4theluvofMatcha. With no photos or posts, Rragami woke up the next morning to a message from an influencer seeking her to work a birthday event — in two weeks. Requirements included a mobile cart and the ability to serve about 150 people. She said yes and called her fiancé. “I need you to build me a cart,” she told him. 

He did, and the event proved beyond successful with Rragami selling out of her entire stock.  “Ever since, I’ve been completely booked month after month. It was something that was such a small idea that I thought wasn’t going to go anywhere, and now it’s turned into a full-time gig,” she says.

What’s next for Rragami? “I’m releasing coffee to my cart,” she says. “I’ve been perfecting the craft of making different lattes, and I’m super excited to drop it within the next few months.”
