A FUNCTIONAL cold beverage company born on the east coast of Australia
Welcome to dear san,
Dear san,
The name “Dear San” draws inspiration from the Japanese honorific “-san,” a respectful title used after a person’s name — similar to Mr. or Ms. It reflects the brand’s deep appreciation for Japanese culture and tradition, especially in relation to the care and ceremony around matcha. “Dear San” is a nod to that respect, paired with a sense of warmth and familiarity — like writing a letter to someone you admire
Our why,
Dear San was born when founder Ruth May noticed a gap in the market for healthy, grab-and-go flavoured beverages — especially for clean, dairy-free options made with premium ingredients like matcha. The brand is committed to creating flavour-forward beverage formulas that are thoughtfully crafted, uncompromising in quality, and powered by clean, functional ingredients.
