The Project:
Greendrops: from occasion to habit. Make matcha part of everyday life.
Greendrops is a young Belgian brand that puts ceremonial-grade matcha into Nespresso-compatible capsules. One click, a proper matcha in under a minute, nothing added. In less than a year, we went from an idea to around 40 stores in Belgium and the Netherlands, including De Bijenkorf.
Here is our challenge. Many people love matcha, but they drink it occasionally: a latte at a coffee bar on a Saturday, not a daily routine. Removing the preparation hassle was step one. Turning matcha into a habit is the real question, and that is where you come in.
Your team will find out what makes people come back every day: which moments matcha can own, what blocks repeat use, and how a daily habit can also be a sustainable one.Then you design and test a concept that makes it happen, whether that is a product, a service, packaging, or an experience.
What you get: direct access to the founder, real customers, real stores, and real data. The freedom to bring your own ideas and test them in the market. And a company that will actually use what you build.
If you like turning insights into something tangible, we would love to meet you.

The Client:
Greendrops is a Belgian matcha brand from Hasselt. We put ceremonial-grade Japanese matcha into Nespresso-compatible capsules: one capsule, one click, a proper matcha in under a minute. No whisk, no sieve, no sugar or additives, just 3 grams of pure, JAS-certified matcha.
Since our commercial launch in November 2025, we have built a network of around 40 points of sale in Belgium and the Netherlands, including De Bijenkorf and regional Carrefour stores, next to our own webshop. We are a small, fast-moving team, supported by board members with backgrounds at JDE Peet's, Kellogg's and AB InBev. Our ambition: make good matcha part of everyday life.As a young company, we work closely with everyone involved. As client representative would like to join brainstorms and test sessions, give quick feedback and open doors to our stores, customers and partners.

In this project, the focus is on “creating something new”
This client might join the team for brainstorm sessions, meetings, and preparatory sessions. The co-creator is more actively involved in/during the project execution.
