Science meets
ancient craft.

01

Sustained Focus

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

Antioxidant Shield

Ceremonial-grade matcha contains 137× more EGCG catechins than conventional green tea — nature's most potent antioxidant complex.

03

Ceremonial Grade

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

Begin every morning
with intention.

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.

"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."

Common questions.

What makes KINARA different from store-bought matcha?

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.

How should I prepare my matcha?

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.

Does KINARA contain caffeine?

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.

Can I use KINARA in baking or cooking?

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.
