About PerfectTed
PerfectTed was born from co-founder Marisa Poster’s search for energy that didn’t come at the expense of her mental health. Coffee and energy drinks only made her ADHD and anxiety worse. Then she discovered matcha and that changed her relationship with caffeine. But in the UK, good matcha was either missing, overpriced, or badly made. So, Marisa, alongside brothers Levi and Teddie Levenfiche, set out to build the brand they couldn’t find delicious, accessible matcha for everyday life. In 2023 Marisa and Teddie appeared on BBC One’s Dragon’s Den, securing investment from Steven Bartlett. They have since gone on to be one of the most successful businesses to come out of the Den – PerfectTed is now active in over 50 markets with more than 35,000 distribution points globally.
