About this piece
Some people run on coffee; you run greener. This tee puts café-culture charm on a premium 240 GSM oversized blank — a kawaii matcha cup with a whisk and leaves, printed in soft-pop colours.
Cottagecore meeting streetwear, and both leaving happy. It is the friendliest design in the catalogue and the one most likely to make a stranger smile at you in a queue.
The design
A hand-drawn kawaii matcha cup with botanical accents and rounded retro lettering, printed on the white blank where the soft greens sit at full charm. The back stays clean; the front does all the talking.
Soft greens are deceptively hard to print on white. There is very little contrast between a pale green and a white ground, so thin ink simply washes out and the illustration goes faint and watery after a few cycles. Dense printing is what keeps the greens saturated enough for the drawing to hold its shape.
Who it’s for and how to wear it
For matcha loyalists, café-hoppers, journal keepers and gift-givers who need a guaranteed reaction. It pairs naturally with the Not Today Cat tee if you are building a full soft-era rotation.
Light denim, pleated shorts, or anything pastel — it is one of the few pieces here that does not want to be worn with black. The oversized cut keeps it from reading as twee, which is the balance the design is going for.
Fabric and build quality
240 GSM French Terry, 100% cotton, which is roughly double what a standard promotional garment weighs. Heavy enough that it does not telegraph what you are wearing underneath, and structured enough to keep its shape through a season rather than going soft by the fourth wear. On weights generally: 240 GSM vs 180 GSM, explained.
Fit and sizing
Oversized cut, S to XL — take the size you normally take. The flat chest figures are 42, 44, 46 and 48 inches across the four sizes, with body lengths of 27.5, 28.5, 29.5 and 30.5, measured from the high shoulder point. Half an inch of tolerance is normal on any cut garment. Stuck between two? The oversized size guide for India.
Printing, care and how long it lasts
Ink is bonded into the fibre, not layered on the surface, so there is no plastic patch to lift at the corners. Keeping it sharp is mostly temperature: cold wash, inside out, no softener, line dry in shade. Never iron across the artwork. Almost every cracked print we are shown went through a hot dryer — see why prints crack and how to stop it.

But First, Matcha Oversized T-Shirt — FAQs
Is the matcha design printed in pastel colours?
Yes — soft greens and warm neutrals rather than bright saturated tones. It is deliberately the gentlest palette in the range, which is what makes it work on a white blank.
Why is this tee on a white blank?
The palette needs it. Soft greens and cream tones lose their character against black — they go muddy. On white the illustration reads the way it was drawn, as a light, café-style graphic.
Is this tee unisex?
Yes. Every piece we make is the same oversized drop-shoulder cut with no gendered sizing — sizes run S to XL and the fit is identical regardless of who is wearing it.
Will pale colours fade on a white tee?
Pale ink on a light ground is the combination most at risk from heat, so it is printed dense to compensate. Wash cold and inside out, skip bleach entirely, and line dry in shade rather than direct sun.
Is Cash on Delivery available?
Yes, across India, alongside UPI, cards and net banking through Razorpay. Shipping is free and tracked either way, dispatched in 24 to 48 hours.
How long does delivery take across India?
Dispatch is within 24 to 48 hours and delivery usually lands between 3 and 7 days depending on your pin code. Every order ships tracked at no extra cost, metros at the faster end of that range.
