Why KINARA
01
The natural synergy of L-theanine and caffeine delivers 4–6 hours of calm, alert energy. No spike. No crash. Just steady mental clarity.
02
Ceremonial-grade matcha contains 137× more EGCG catechins than conventional green tea — nature's most potent antioxidant complex.
03
Stone-ground to 10μm particle size on granite wheels at below 30°C — the only method that preserves the full amino acid and chlorophyll profile.
The practice
Matcha isn't a supplement. It's a ritual. For centuries, Zen monks used the same stone-ground powder to enter a state of "alert calm" before meditation. KINARA brings that practice to your morning.

Ceremonial-Grade Matcha
Single-origin from Uji, Kyoto prefecture. First flush spring harvest (April), shade-grown for 30 days to maximize L-theanine and chlorophyll concentration.
L-Theanine Complex
3.9 mg per gram of matcha — a naturally occurring amino acid that modulates alpha brain waves, promoting relaxed alertness without sedation.
Zero Additives
Nothing else. No fillers, no flavouring, no flow agents. Just pure stone-ground camellia sinensis leaves — exactly as it has been prepared for six centuries.
Testimonials
"I've tried dozens of matcha brands over the years. KINARA is the only one that doesn't taste bitter or astringent. The colour is a vivid jade green and it whisks up perfectly. My morning focus has genuinely improved."
"Replaced my morning coffee six months ago. The sustained focus is real — no jitter, no 2pm crash. I'm a software engineer and deep work sessions have never been this clean. Already on my fourth tin."
FAQ
Most store-bought matcha is culinary-grade — grown in full sun, machine harvested, and blended from multiple regions. KINARA is ceremonial-grade: shade-grown for 30 days (increasing L-theanine and chlorophyll), hand-picked first-flush spring leaves, and stone-ground in small batches by artisans who have been grinding matcha for five generations.
Sift 2g (about 1 chashaku scoop) into a warmed bowl. Add 70ml of water at 70–75°C — never boiling, which degrades the amino acids. Whisk in a "W" motion until frothy, about 20 seconds. For a latte, pour over steamed milk of your choice. The quality of water matters — use filtered water for the cleanest taste.
Yes — approximately 34mg per 2g serving, compared to 80–100mg in a typical shot of espresso. The difference is the L-theanine in matcha, which modulates how caffeine is absorbed, producing a slower, longer release without the spike and crash associated with coffee. Most people find this ideal for focused work.
Absolutely. KINARA works beautifully in baked goods, smoothies, and desserts. However, for cooking above 80°C, we'd recommend our culinary blend (coming soon) to preserve your ceremonial-grade tin for drinking. The flavour profile — umami, sweet, slightly grassy — lends itself to chocolate, vanilla, and cream-based preparations.
