Our story

A matcha specialty café, new to Mauritius.

“Matcha has long been part of my wellness world. I wanted to share this passion with Mauritians through a simple, authentic experience inspired by Japanese culture.”

“My goal is to create a space of well-being, a place where we can slow down, breathe, and escape, even if just for a moment, from a daily routine that is often very hectic.”

Sandrine How, founder of KYÔ Matcha, to Essentielle, March 2026

Open since 19 December 2025, sourcing from suppliers here and in Japan, with every drink made by hand at the bar.

Hojicha poured from a glass jug over milk and ice in a tall glass, in afternoon light

Slow sips, softer energy

Hojicha

By KYÔ

Hojicha is a roasted Japanese green tea with deep, toasty notes and a subtle sweetness.

It is naturally low in caffeine, perfect for slowing down in the afternoon.

Everything on the counter

The room

Quiet moments.
Refined tastes.

Arched niches, light oak and a halo of light on the wall: a calm, white room in Helvetia to slow down in, and a terrace out front under the palms.

Refreshed in August 2026, with a little more room to enjoy it all.

Under the same roof

KYÔ MART

Where simplicity meets flavour.

An Asian grocery beside the bar: ramen and udon, snacks and mochi, dumplings and matcha to take home, fresh onigiri to go with a matcha, and fortune cookies at the till.

Reimagined, and back since 8 August 2026.
