Three weeks later, she tracked down the French supplier, facilitated a shipment of muffins to the U.S. and dealt with the resulting challenges, all to bring the viral muffins to New York City for a pop-up event.
In a thread on X, Zhang detailed how she worked with New York City cafe Isshiki Matcha to bring the viral muffins to hundreds of New Yorkers on Aug. 17.
Isshiki Matcha, which has been open for four months, primarily sells premium matcha and matcha drinks.
“I could eat this viral muffin that all these Olympic athletes can’t stop talking about.”Zhang described the muffin as light, moist and not too sweet.
Zhang and Zheng are trying to import another batch of muffins to sell (and eat), but nothing has been finalized yet.
