Our abuelas said it before every plan.

“Primero Dios” means God willing, and it puts God first. We named the business after it because that’s the order we try to live in.

Erick Claure started Primero Dios Matcha out of a simple love for making matcha and serving people. He pours from a small white trailer with a hedge wall and a wooden counter, based in Falls Church.

Its regular stop is Citylight Church, Erick’s home church, where he has lived and served for the past year and a half through the Citylight School of Missions.

Questions we get at the trailer

What does “Primero Dios” mean?

It’s a Spanish phrase that means “God willing,” and literally “God first.” We named the business after it because that’s the order we try to live in: God first, then everything else, including matcha.

Where is Primero Dios Matcha located?

We’re a matcha trailer based in Falls Church, Virginia, with no permanent storefront. We pop up at Citylight Church, 2929 Graham Rd, Falls Church, VA, and at private locations around Falls Church. We also cater private events in Falls Church.

When is the next pop-up?

Our regular stop is Citylight Church, 2929 Graham Rd, Falls Church, most Wednesdays from 12 to 2 PM. The rest of the week we set up around Falls Church; each week’s dates, times, and locations go up on Instagram, usually at the start of the week.

What’s on the menu?

Four iced matchas: Classic, Strawberry, Banana Bread, and Coconut Cloud. For non-matcha drinkers there’s ready-made La Colombe iced coffee, plus prepackaged muffins and croissants.

Are the syrups homemade?

Yes. We make our flavor syrups by hand, from scratch, including the strawberry and banana bread.

Is there a dairy-free matcha?

Classic Iced Matcha is made with oat milk. Strawberry and Banana Bread use whole milk, and the Coconut Cloud foam contains heavy cream and whole milk. Please ask about ingredients at the trailer if you have an allergy.

How much matcha is in each drink?

Each iced matcha is made with 4 g of matcha powder, whisked to order. We don’t list caffeine content.

Can I book you for an event?

Yes. We bring the trailer to weddings, quinceañeras, youth groups, church events, and team events in Falls Church, Virginia. At Citylight Church’s 7th anniversary we served about 200 guests. See how event catering works, email erick@primerodiosmatcha.com or message us on Instagram.
