Why Matcha?
Matcha isn't just a drink, it's a daily ritual. Here's why we love it, and why we think you will too.
Why matcha is important
⚡ Calm energy, no crash
Matcha contains natural caffeine alongside L-theanine, an amino acid found in tea. Together they give you a steady, focused lift without the jitters or the afternoon slump.
🌿 Rich in antioxidants
Unlike regular tea, with matcha you drink the whole tea leaf, ground into a fine powder. That means you get all of its naturally occurring antioxidants, including catechins like EGCG.
🧠 Supports focus and clarity
L-theanine helps promote a calm, alert state of mind, making matcha the perfect companion for busy mornings, deep work or study sessions.
☕ Gentler than coffee
The L-theanine in matcha smooths out its caffeine for a more balanced lift, and matcha is naturally lower in acidity than coffee, making it a gentler way to start your day.
🍃 Naturally low in calories
Whisked with water, matcha is naturally low in calories. Add your favourite milk for a creamy latte, made exactly how you like it.
Why our matcha is different
Sourced from Uji, Kyoto. Uji is one of Japan's most celebrated tea regions, known for producing some of the finest matcha in the world. We name our region because we can, and we think you deserve to know exactly where your matcha comes from.
100% ceremonial grade. Ceremonial grade is the highest quality of matcha, made from young tea leaves for a vibrant green colour and a smooth, naturally sweet taste.
Half the price of your café latte. A matcha latte on average costs around $10. Each 50g bag of Tallie makes around 12 to 13 cups at 4g per cup, which works out to about $3.60 a cup at home, or $3.24 on subscription.
