About Me
our story
A story brewed with love.
Warm Matcha began as a daydream in the margins of a notebook — a place where a girl who loved to write could share her books, pour matcha, and welcome strangers like old friends.
about Selene
A young author with a big, quiet heart.
I published my first book, Animal Tails, in 2020 at the age of eleven. This anthology of four short stories explores everyday challenges faced by young children and marked the beginning of my journey as a writer. At the time, I did not fully realize how much that experience would shape me, but it quietly sparked a love for storytelling that continued to grow with each opportunity that followed.
Soon after, some of my poetry was featured in La Feria News, which led to an internship in journalism and allowed me to learn more about writing, listening, and sharing stories with care. In 2024, at the age of fifteen, I published my second book, A Poetic Journey, a collection of poems reflecting my personal and creative growth over five years. Each step taught me patience, gratitude, and the value of creating meaningful spaces for expression.
Alongside writing, I’ve always dreamed of opening a matcha and coffee shop. To me, matcha and coffee represent more than drinks—they create moments of calm, focus, and connection. Matcha offers a gentle, steady energy, while coffee brings warmth and familiarity. When paired with books, they invite people to slow down, reflect, and enjoy a quiet moment with a story, whether their own or someone else’s.
I’m truly grateful to share that this dream has become a reality. It is with humility and excitement that I announce the opening of Warm Matcha Coffee Shop—a cozy space where books, matcha, and coffee come together to encourage creativity, conversation, and rest.
