9 Things the Cofounders of Golde Can’t Stop Talking About

Trinity Mouzon and her partner, Issey Kobori, dish on the most joy-sparking items in their home.

In the wellness space, few brands have risen to such superstardom in the last few years as Golde. Cofounders Trinity Mouzon and Issey Kobori started in 2017 by offering a turmeric latte powder blend, and since, they’ve grown their company into a thriving enterprise, amassing thousands of fans along the way.

Issey Kobori and Trinity Mouzon started Golde in 2017 from their one-bedroom apartment in Brooklyn.

As a person on the internet, not a day on Instagram goes by without seeing a parade of health-obsessed beauty bloggers effusing about the brand: They don Golde’s face masks made from superfoods like papaya or spirulina; whisk up the company’s matcha powders sourced from Japan; and bake breads and Rice Krispie treats with their versatile latte, collagen, and herbal mushrooms blends. This year, the Black- and AAPI-owned business saw their products take leap off the web and onto the shelves of a Target near you.

Mouzon and Kobori are also just certifiably cool people, so we reached out to the tastemakers to get their take on the things they can't live without.
