100% Japanese Ceremonial Matcha
Unique Nutty Taste
2-4 Hrs Calm-Steady Energy
A matcha with nutty notes you won't find in Uji matcha.First Harvest. Farm-direct from the tea fields of Yame.
Nutty. Smooth. Rich. A Unique Flavour Profile You Won't Find Elsewhere.
Grown in Yame, Fukuoka, a renowned tea region with idyllic soil and climate. The result is a flavour profile you won't get anywhere else in our range: nutty cocoa notes, a balanced bitterness, and a subtle sweetness that sits behind the stronger flavours.
The bitterness is up front and deliberate. Unharsh nor sharp. Similar to dark chocolate or black tea. It's a refreshing, uplifting bitterness.
Behind that, a light savoury (umami) quality with hints of sweetness appear when you pause to pay attention.
The balance of bitter, sweet, and savoury is what makes this matcha interesting and loveable. Each sip gives you complexity to pick apart for enjoyment.
The nutty, bitter, sweet and savouriness makes this matcha especial for lattes. There is a coco, chocolate-like depth that pairs well with milk without losing character.

You're completely new to matcha → Start with The Masterpiece or a Sample Pack, then come back to Lady Fuku once you know what you like!
FOR LATTES — Try a smaller ratio, where the cocoa notes come alive (2 minutes)
This is where Lady Fuku is most enjoyable. The milk softens the bitterness and brings the nutty cocoa flavour forward.
Step 1 — Sift. Add 3.5g into your cup.
Step 2 — Whisk. Pour 20–30ml of hot water (around 80°C). Whisk until smooth.
Step 3 — Add milk and froth. Oat milk works particularly well — it brings out the cocoa notes. Almond also pairs well. Keep the ratio balanced: 40–60ml of milk.
Optional: A small amount of sweetener rounds out the bitterness. Agave works better than sugar with this flavour profile.
Total time: 2 minutes.
FOR STRAIGHT TEA (1 minute)
This is where you taste the full complexity. The bitterness, the sweetness behind it, the nutty depth.
Step 1 — Sift 1.5g into a bowl or cup.
Step 2 — Pour 70–80ml of hot water (80°C).
Step 3 — Whisk briskly for 15–20 seconds.
The first sip is clean and bright. Then the bitterness arrives. It's smooth, not sharp. If you wait a moment, the sweetness comes through underneath.
Yame, Fukuoka. Not Uji.
Every other matcha in our range comes from Uji. Lady Fuku comes from Yame, in Fukuoka prefecture.
Yame is one of the most respected tea-growing regions in Japan, known for producing matcha with a distinctive nutty, cocoa-like character that Uji matcha doesn't have. The difference comes from the soil, climate, and growing conditions specific to the region.
Lady Fuku is a blend of two Japanese green tea varieties — Okumidori and Saemidori. First harvest, hand-picked in May. Shade-grown using a traditional covering method (called "Tana") for 20–30 days before harvest, which concentrates flavour and nutrients.
We import directly from the farmers. No blending with cheaper sources.
Harvest: First harvest, May. Hand-picked. Shade-grown 20–30 days.
Freshness: Imported monthly. Shipped from our Melbourne warehouse.
Ingredient list: 100% Japanese Green Tea Powder (Camellia sinensis).

Lady Fuku vs the Rest of the Range
Lady Fuku isn't competing with the other ceremonials on intensity or sweetness. It's the only matcha with nutty notes, in a category of its own.
The Masterpiece ($43/30g): Crisp, clean, light bitterness. Classic Uji flavour. The best all-rounder.
Emerald Emperor ($49/30g): Mellow, zero bitterness, medium savoury (umami). Smooth and gentle. Great for straight tea.
Scholar's Secret ($55/30g): Bold, strong savoury (umami), full-bodied. One of our strongest and smoothest Uji matcha in the range.
Lady Fuku ($58.50/50g): Nutty cocoa notes, balanced bitterness, subtle sweetness. Yame origin. A flavour profile none of the above can offer. Best for people who want something different.
Pinnacle Perfection ($72/30g): Naturally sweet, richest in the range. 2–3x the intensity of Scholar's Secret.
If you like dark chocolate, strong coffee, or bold tea — Lady Fuku is worth trying.
If you prefer clean sweetness and smooth umami — stay with the Uji range.

Frequently Asked Questions
All our matcha is 100% green tea. Shade grown 2 weeks+ before harvest to maximise antioxidants. Shading the tea leaf is like tough love – the extra antioxidants produced in this period makes our matcha taste really good!
Then we book her in for a "premium" spa-day where she's treated to some steaming, drying and powdering.
This softens & rounds her attitude out, where her gentle-sweetness, pleasant-bitter and crispiness starts shining.
Always keep your matcha in the fridge. Don't leave her out in the sun like a beach ball. She'll get quite cross with you. Heat of any kind drains her life.
No fridge? No worries. Store her away from direct sunlight.
Upon opening: Scribble the date of opening & put her back in the fridge after use. Unlike Elsa, do not Freeze & Thaw.
For UNOPENED matcha: it's safe to store her in Freezer for 12+ months. When you're ready, thaw her in the Fridge for 1-2 days before open.
"F#* it I'll do it myself!" - I hear you!
Here's a mini guide to put those cafes to shame:
1. Start with small ratios. Smaller ratios allow her (flavours) to POP while respectively telling the milk to stop getting in her face about how much she needs him.
Try this: 1g matcha / 10ml water / 15ml milk / 1g sugar (if you like it sweet)
2. NEVER POUR OVER.Unless you're snapping a few pics for Insta and friends, she tastes best when you:
Whisk, froth & mix the matcha with milk together
Step 1: Make matcha brew Step 2: Add milk (and sweeteners/syrups) Step 3: Whisk/froth again
Light-medium-full body: This is the mouthfeel of matcha tea when sipped alone.
Caution:Full-body matcha paired with cheap-weak milk makes faint or watery lattes. But a quality milk mixed with average matcha can turn 6s to 8s.
Use exceptional ingredients to get phenomenal results.
Full-body tells your senses she's got a huge ego. Her notes are typically strong, and may linger around.
Light-body is demure and subtle. It's like a vivid dream except you can't remember the details but the essence of that dream.
Sweet: Sweet only like broccoli or baby bok-choi. Matcha is not saccharine. It is a vegetal sweetness. Often subtle and faint.
Bitter: The sharp, pungent flavour like crushed Panadol or antibiotics. It's a harshness in matcha that quickly overwhelms when not used to. Bitterness combines well with milk to make lattes refreshing.
For bitter matchas, the best way to make lattes is using a cold-whisking method. Where you mix matcha and milk directly together. No water needed.
Astringent: A dryness, mouth-puckering taste. It's almost sour as if you had lemon. Highly astringent matchas can be considered "grassy" by some. But astringency goes well in lattes, making your drinks crispy.
Umami: Savouriness like un-flavoured popcorn. Umami is an amplifier of the above flavours. In a cultural sense, it's the entire experience of matcha; from the mouth-feel combined with sweet, bitter or astringent notes. Umami is used interchangeably to describe the "experience" as well as the "savoury" component of matcha.
Caution: Explaining umami is like telling the blind colour red. People will not understand you if they have not experienced it.
Matcha is seasonal! Every year, farmers plant green-tea and work year round to make sure it's well taken care off for harvest. It is grown out in the open fields where they can't control the sun, rain and wild, unpredictable weather.
In the same line of work like blueberries, oranges and apples. The farmers do 110% to ensure it's healthy and consumable. But not every batch is sweet or tender.
Step 1: Calculate your daily caffeine intake
(Example: 5 double-shot espressos = 640mg)
Step 2: Start with matcha at 50% of current caffeine intake
(640mg × 0.5 = 320mg = 6 servings of matcha daily at 50mg each)
Note: 1 serve matcha = 1.5g (50mg caffeine)
Step 3: Taper down over 3 months
Month 1: 6 servings (300mg)
Month 2: 4 servings (200mg)
Month 3: 3 servings (150mg)
Step 4: Build your routine & timing
First matcha: 90-120 min after waking
Last matcha: Before 3 PM (earlier the better)
Take one caffeine-free day weekly
Expect: Week 1-2 withdrawal (headaches, fatigue).
Week 3+ better sleep, stable energy and steady focus.
For most healthy adults: Yes, matcha is safe when consumed in moderation (1-3 servings daily).
Please seek professional medical advice if you have health concerns.
For watery, bitter, bland or clumpy matcha: Troubleshoot with a different milk using a smaller ratio. Or follow our cold-paste method and adjust from there!
Cold-Paste Method:
1) Sift 3-4g matcha into bowl/cup
2) Add a dash of cold water (about 10ml)
3) Whisk & mix until thick and pasty
4) Add 3-6g sugar/agave to balance bitterness and astringency
5) Add 40-60ml milk to the paste
6) Whisk & froth until frothy!
For no-nonsense lattes: Sage has a bitterness and astringency that make him refreshing
For traditional Usucha (thin-tea) and bestflavours in latte: the chasen (bamboo whisk) is indispensable. Yes. It takes some time to get used to. When you know the ins-outs of the whisk, your matcha game improves 100x.
Electric frothers make dang good drinks too, if you are patient and precise.
For speed and convenience the electric frother is the choice for making matcha lattes on the go.
If you love slowing down, taking it all in while smelling the flowers; you'll love the bamboo whisk.
All you need is a jar, matcha, water, milk and maybe sugar with a protein shaker ball. Ice is optional, but highly recommended.
Put the A-team together and shake as hard as your body can handle.
This is easier than it looks!

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 5.0 / 5 from 35 reviews.
Lady Fuku has become a firm favourite in our household for our daily lattes - pairing wonderfully with whole/soy/oat milk. Lady Fuku has a rich and nutty flavour profile that shines through both cold and hot matcha lattes. It has a thoughtful complexity that is apparent with each sip. I will be repurchasing for the foreseeable future!
I've been looking for a long time and have finally found my favourite matcha powder! It's the right amount of bitter with a depth of flavour that is slightly unmami. Deep green colour and pairs very well with oat milk. Packaging was also very thoughtful with a handwritten card.
My fav matcha everrrr! I like a sweet and nutty matcha, and Lady Fuku ticks all the boxes. I have it everyday and will reorder as soon as my one finishes.
Makes an amazing, creamy, flavorful latte. It has a slight astringency at the end, but this is easily my second favourite blend from Green Caffine (Emerald Emperor is top). I really hope this becomes permanent in the line.
Love the test of Lady Fuku. I have try all of the Matcha I think my favourite is Lady Fuku. I will be always order my matcha from Green Caffeine as quality of matcha always good also customer service always the best.
Fuku is sooooo bold and I love it!
I never thought a matcha powder could have such a strong presence. I also didn’t think I liked matcha with bitter notes, but after having Fuku for over a week I change my damn mind. It’s not the type of unsmooth bitterness that you’d taste in a bad quality matcha, but rather an astringency lightly layered on top of a sturdy matcha.
Really hoping Fuku can become permanent, I really want her in a tin because so much of the last bits of matcha go to waste in a foil bag😭
(fyi in the video 3.5g matcha and 25g water were used)
So, this will be a 2x1 review since unfortunately, I did not have the chance to review my previous order, but wanted to share the following:
1. Green Caffeine is the place if you are looking to go all about REAL matcha. You can taste in their different flavors and types how well they had re-searched and curated each product for years.
2. It took me time to taste the 3 different types I ordered since I used to drink Matcha occasionally and not because I did not like it, but because I also enjoy other types of loose teas, like Sencha, Chai and other flavors, but Green Caffeine Matcha is so good and pleasant that it really became now part of my routine (with one kit at home and one kit at the office) I also used to think that was a complicated, tons of steps thing but isn't really once you learn Leo's tips, and the quality of their matcha it also makes it easier, I discovered I was not really preparing real matcha before lol.
3. Is so nice to also find how they are looking to surprises us with more new products like Lady Fuku, is always good to have something to try and fell in love with that awakes our senses like a good matcha that suits and engage creams like this one.
4. Vix is such a lovely owner, that package everything with so much care and sweetness! Thank you for the cute note, just what a need it to hear right now! and Speaking of package they do ship internationally, I am one of their overseas happy customers and it always arrives really fast and in perfect condition.
Guys thank you for this amazing experience! You are so talented, keep it up!
Yours,
A Green Tea lover.
Lady Fuku was super nice. It really is a wonderful umami flavor. The tips of ratios that was sent with the Matcha is super🤝🏻.
Thank you for providing this. Surely will buy again and highly recommended.
She’s perfect 😊🙌
Green Caffeine is always delivering when it comes to yummy matcha so of course I jumped online to grab the new Lady Fuku and she did not disappoint.
I adore the slight nuttiness, and it makes me drink my matcha down way too quick because it’s just too good. Please make this matcha part of your permanent lineup!
It was so good!!! not so gritty, a balanced of sweet bitterness and umami aftertaste, more nuttier when pairing with oat milk than fresh milk. definitely repurchase :)
One of my favourites. I'm not very good with describing the taste and its nuances. I do find the taste quite bold and the taste of matcha that I look for. This and Scholar's Secret are my top choices.
Lady Fuku is something special in my home and I love to take her with me when I work away. That one savoured cup of special magic in the morning is so unique with Lady Fuku. The flavour is so delightful and sweet but she also has legs that get you off to a good rock solid start to the day. I love to take a moment for my Matcha 30min after my breakfast. After swapping from coffee to matcha I have no more jitters😬, just a smooth take off to each day 🧘♀️
I really love Lady Fuku, it tastes so clean snd refreshing! Thank you for the additional gifted Hojicha Powder as well. It made my day! I have tried the Hojicha with Coconut Water and its been my absolute favourite so far!! Always satisfied with Green Caffeine’s fast delivery, customer service and cute packaging details. Love and appreciate it so much! 🥰
Lady Fuku is now one of my favourites! I love the Saemidori+Okumidori blend. This one is for the ones who love a nutty taste for their matcha. No need for added sweeteners here, this matcha has a naturally sweet finish!
I really enjoyed the Lady Fuku blend. I normally have the Emerald Emperor and I found it was softer, fresher and more balanced. I will definitely be adding this to the matcha repertoire.
Absolutely divine! Luxury in a cup and a testament to the beauty, complexities, and heritage of matcha. I have never had anything quite like Lady Fuku. She is my new favourite.
I’ve been ordering from Green Caffeine by Unconsciously regularly, and they never disappoint. I’ve tried other brands too, but nothing beats Green Caffeine for me.
The customer service is great as well. I also love the little surprise of the stickers in each order 🥹 it’s such a fun touch, and I always get excited to see which one I’ll get!
It’s truly the best matcha I’ve found, and I keep coming back for more! 🌱🎀

Best quality matcha
The kit come with three blends. All three are nice to drink. To me the best one is the early riser it’s smooth. All three blends are not bitter which is a plus. The electric whisk is good quality and quite powerful. I would buy another one if they were sold individually. I’m happy with the service as it was very quick shipping from NSW to VIC. I will be purchasing again soon for gifts.
