Everything you’ve ever wanted to know about our matcha, answered.
FAQ
WHAT IS MATCHA, WHY IS EVERYONE TALKING ABOUT IT?
Matcha is finely ground green tea powder, made from shade-grown tea leaves (called tencha) that are stone-milled to preserve nutrients. Unlike regular green tea, you’re drinking the whole leaf, which means more antioxidants, amino acids, and L-theanine to keep you calm, focused, and energised.
I'M A COFFEE DRINKER - WILL MATCHA GIVE ME ENERGY?
Yes — but without the crash, jitters, or anxious buzz.
Matcha contains caffeine plus L-theanine, a rare amino acid that promotes calm focus. You'll get a steady, balanced energy release that supports productivity, not panic.
DOES MATCHA REALLY GIVE YOU ENERGY WITHOUT THE CRASH?
Yes — and that’s the magic.
Matcha gives you caffeine plus L-theanine, a natural amino acid that smooths the energy curve, sharpens focus, and keeps you calm. No jitters. No crash. Just clean, sustainable fuel.
WHY IS MATCHA BETTER THAN COFFEE FOR FOCUS?
Matcha is a cognitive powerhouse. Thanks to L-theanine, it boosts alpha brain waves, which are associated with calm alertness. Translation: you feel switched on without being overstimulated. Your nervous system will thank you.

IS YOUR MATCHA CEREMONIAL GRADE?
Technically? That term doesn’t mean much.
“Ceremonial grade” isn’t a regulated standard — it’s often just a marketing label. What really matters is how the matcha looks, tastes, and makes you feel.
We use first-harvest, shade-grown tea leaves that are finely milled for a smooth, vibrant finish. No bitterness, no dull colour, no filler.
We skip the buzzwords — and focus on quality you can actually taste.
I’M NEW TO MATCHA — WHAT DOES IT TASTE LIKE?
It’s earthy, creamy, and just a little grassy.
Good matcha tastes smooth and fresh — not bitter. We made ours mellow enough for newbies and rich enough for purists. (Pro tip: add oat milk + a little sweetener for the perfect iced latte.)
DO I NEED A WHISK?
Only if you want the full ritual.
We offer matcha in different formats — including ready-to-drink cans, sachets for on-the-go, and tins for at-home matcha lovers. No whisk? No problem. Just shake or stir. Ritual optional.
HOW LONG DOES THE ENERGY BOOST LAST?
Most people feel matcha’s effects for 4–6 hours — longer than coffee, and without the mid-afternoon crash. It's your secret weapon for deep work, creative flow, or just getting through your to-do list.
WHEN'S THE BEST TIME TO DRINK MATCHA?
Anytime you need to focus without frying your nervous system.
Most people love it in the morning (instead of coffee), mid-afternoon for a calm boost, or pre-workout for smooth, stable energy.
CAN I DRINK MATCHA EVERY DAY?
Absolutely. Matcha is gentle on the stomach and packed with antioxidants. Most people enjoy it daily — some even twice a day. It’s a wellness ritual you’ll actually look forward to.
