OSULLOC’s Matcha Plus launch event at Remedy Place was the LA wellness reset I didn’t know I needed — and the matcha I’ll be drinking every single morning from here on out.
If you had told me a month ago that I would willingly submerge myself in freezing cold water, follow it up with a transcendent sound bath, and leave an event glowing from the inside out — I would have believed the sound bath part. The cold plunge? Absolutely not. And yet here we are.
Last week, I was invited by OSULLOC — Korea’s No. 1 premium tea brand — to an exclusive launch event at Remedy Place in West Hollywood celebrating the debut of their brand new Matcha Plus line. What followed was one of the most immersive, rejuvenating, and genuinely transformative wellness evenings I have experienced in this city. And I live in LA, so that is saying something.
The Evening: Matcha, Meditation, and a Cold Plunge That Almost Took Me Out
The night began with pre-session mingling and matcha tasting moments — a gorgeous, social, sensory introduction to OSULLOC’s stunning new Matcha Plus line. The space was beautiful, the energy was warm and intentional, and the matcha was exceptional. More on that in a moment.
From there, we flowed into a guided Othership journey — a multi-sensory wellness experience incorporating meditation, sauna, and the moment I had been simultaneously dreading and quietly curious about: the cold plunge.
I chose a 6-minute cold plunge.
Six. Minutes.
Friends, I thought I was going to meet my maker. The shock of that water hitting my body was unlike anything I have experienced — a full system reset that my brain immediately categorized as an emergency situation. But here is what happened next: I stayed. I breathed. I pushed through every instinct telling me to get out. And on the other side of those six minutes, I felt something I can only describe as a full-body awakening. The clarity. The energy. The overwhelming sense of I just did that — it was extraordinary. Cold plunging, or cold-water immersion, delivers a powerful “shock” to the system that yields real physical and mental benefits: accelerated muscle recovery, reduced inflammation, and a significant boost in mood and energy. I felt every single one of those benefits the moment I stepped out of that water. More importantly — I realized just how strong I am. And so are you.
Then came the moment that tied the entire evening together — the sound bath, led by the extraordinarily gifted Pua of Soulstice Collective. If you have never experienced a sound bath before, let me try to do it justice: Pua uses pure quartz crystal sound bowls — each one infused with crystals — to create a vibrational experience that quite literally moves through your body. This isn’t background music. This is sound as medicine. The tones that emanate from those bowls are rich, layered, and deeply resonant — you feel them in your chest, in your bones, in the spaces between your thoughts. As Pua moved through the room, each bowl singing its specific frequency into the air, I felt my nervous system — still buzzing from the cold plunge — slowly, completely surrender.
It was relaxing in a way that goes beyond the word relaxing. It was meditative in the truest sense — not the performative kind where you sit cross-legged and try to think about nothing, but the effortless kind where your mind simply goes quiet because the sound asks it to. There is something about pure quartz crystal bowls specifically — the clarity of the tone, the way the vibration holds and sustains — that creates a stillness I have not found anywhere else. By the time Pua brought the session to a close, I felt as though every cell in my body had been gently rearranged into its correct position. Lighter. Clearer. Completely, profoundly at ease.
Cold plunge into sound bath. Chaos into stillness. Frozen into glowing. That is the only way I know how to describe it.
OSULLOC Matcha Plus: Korean Tea Meets Modern Wellness
Now let’s talk about the star of the evening — the OSULLOC Matcha Plus line. As Korea’s No. 1 premium tea brand, OSULLOC brings ceremonial-grade matcha powder together with functional, science-backed blends designed for modern wellness rituals. The result is three extraordinary teas that are as delicious as they are beneficial:
MATCHA+ DEEP FOCUS Powered by matcha and L-theanine, this blend delivers a gentle sense of clarity and calm, focused energy — without the jittery crash of coffee. Perfect for your morning routine or a productive afternoon. Korean tea meets next-level brain fuel.
MATCHA+ GOOD GUT A clean green caffeine boost for both mind and gut, powered by probiotics and prebiotics. If you’re focused on gut health — and after everything we’ve learned in recent years, you absolutely should be — this is your blend. Drink it before, during, or after your workout for maximum benefit.
MATCHA+ GLOW This is the one I sampled at the event — right after my cold plunge — and I have been drinking it every single morning since. A vibrant blend of matcha powder, vitamin C, and collagen designed to support radiant skin and a glow from within. Collagen. Need I say more? As someone who is deeply committed to her glass skin routine, this blend has become a non-negotiable part of my daily wellness ritual. It tastes incredible, mixes beautifully, and delivers the kind of skin-forward benefits that have me reaching for it before I even reach for my coffee.
All three blends are genuinely delicious, packed with health benefits, and versatile enough to drink before, during, or after a workout. They’re also a beautiful entry point into the world of Korean tea for anyone who hasn’t yet explored it — OSULLOC’s commitment to quality and ceremonial-grade ingredients is evident in every single sip.
Sound Bath Meditation + Matcha = The Ultimate Wellness Reset
If you’re looking for the ultimate sound bath meditation experience in Los Angeles paired with a product that actually walks the wellness walk — this evening was the gold standard. OSULLOC didn’t just throw a launch party. They created an experience that embodied everything their Matcha Plus line represents: intentional, functional, deeply nourishing wellness that meets you exactly where you are.
I came in a little wound up. I left completely reset. And I’ve had a cup of OSULLOC Matcha Plus Glow every morning since — because once you find something that makes you feel this good, you don’t let it go.
