T2 x Good Measure launch a one-night only Matcha Kissa in Melbourne
Tonight (1 August), for one night only, Carlton cafe Good Measure will play host to something special. Tea brand T2 is descending on the venue to deliver a Japan-inspired Kissa, celebrating the return of the brand’s White Chocolate flavouring, as well as new matcha flavours Peach and Strawberry.
For reference, a Kissa is a laid-back cafe-style tea-house endemic to Japan, where an appreciation of good music and tea goes hand in hand. At Good Measure tonight, starting at 7.30pm and going through until 11pm, customers will be able to enjoy triple strawberry matcha, white chocolate marble matcha, and peach matcha spider drinks, as well as Japanese-inspired deserts to go with the delicious drinks.
To provide the music side of the kissa equation will be local DJ LXY, who’ll focus on jazz house, lo-fi beats to keep things nice and mellow.
Also, the first 100 customers get free matcha—so get there at 7.30pm sharp, Melbournians!
Brookvale Union is on the Lookout for Australia’s Weirdest Haircut
I’ve always gotten the feeling that us Aussies like things a bit weird, and booze brand Brookevale Union seems to agree: launching a competition this week to try to find Australia’s most ridiculous haircuts, with some pre-paid digital VISA cards on the line.
Yes, the brand’s ‘Upper Nonsense’ campaign will see it launch a pop-up barbershop in Sydney today (1 August), and incentivise people to come get some truly strange cuts. Once you’ve had your trim, you’ll need to upload an image of yourself to your Instagram with #uppernonsense and @brookvaleunion included, and then, depending on just how freaky you are, you might win.
There’s ‘bragging rights’ on the line, too. If you are crowned Australia’s weirdest haircut, you’ll be immortalised on the Brookvale Union Insta for all the world to see. If that’s up your alley, or if you think you’ve already got the best haircut in the country, the competition ends on 25 August.
