Ian Rožac, together with Blaž Mlakar, is the founder of POP Matcha, the fastest-growing matcha brand in Slovenia. Their mission is simple: to bring the authentic taste of premium Japanese matcha to Slovenia. Quality is their top priority – POP Matcha is hand-picked, stone-ground, and shade-grown, ensuring its gentle, smooth, and naturally sweet flavor.

Driven by passion and attention to detail, they created a product that stands out not only for its taste but also for its convenience. Each serving is individually packed to preserve freshness and quality.

Ian leads marketing, storytelling, and community building, while Blaž manages the legal and operational side of the business. Together, they are creating a matcha movement in Slovenia, inspiring people to discover what true matcha really is and how it can become part of their everyday ritual.
