Tristan Bordallo, founder of Fr8topia, a freight brokerage, and host of Race 2 the Bottom, sits down with Blake Parsons of Ultimacha to explore what it really takes to bring a health product from kitchen experiment to shelf.
In this interview, Blake shares his journey from high school physics teacher to founder of a premium matcha brand. Discover how his passion for health, quality sourcing, and entrepreneurial resilience led to creating a unique product that challenges what you thought you knew about matcha.
Blake pulls back the curtain on why most ”ceremonial grade” matcha on the market is misleading, and how ten years of personal formulation—combining L-theanine, fiber, and immune-boosting ingredients—shaped a product built for the busy, health-conscious modern professional.
Blake didn't quit his day job — he worked three of them. From subbing classrooms to bartending nights while quietly formulating the perfect matcha, he opens up about spousal support, the CPG grind, and why the only regrets that stick are the chances you never took.
