R&D Leftovers - 15g satchels

Monthly tasting leftovers. Good matcha that didn't meet our commercial standards. Perfect for baking and experimentation. Limited quantity.

The matcha that didn't make the cut.

Every month, we taste-test 10-15 different matcha powders searching for the exceptional blends that become Green Caffeine products.

Most don't make it.

Not because they're bad - some are genuinely excellent ceremonial grades. They just don't have that outstanding taste profile we're looking for. The thing that makes us go "yes, this."

The problem? We end up with kilos of perfectly good matcha we can't finish. Matcha that farmers in Japan and Korea invested months of work into growing, harvesting, and processing.

Throwing it out feels wrong.

So instead, we're offering these genuine R&D leftovers for $2 per 15g satchel.

These include samples from our Korea sourcing trip in September - like a 2kg bag from a Jeju Island farm that was good, just not Green Caffeine good. Along with monthly taste testing samples that didn't meet our benchmark.

  • 15g satchel (enough for 5-7 matcha lattes servings or several baking recipes)
  • Matcha ranging from "decent" to "actually quite good ceremonial grade"
  • None of the matchas we currently sell
  • Perfect for baking where subtle flavor differences get masked by sugar and heat anyway
  • A way to experiment without commitment
  • Our commercial quality standards
  • Consistency between satchels (each sample is different)
  • Origin details (they're either from Korea or Japan) or specific tasting notes
  • Predictable flavor profiles

This is about reducing waste and giving farmers' work a purpose, even when it doesn't meet our specific standards.

$2 covers packaging and handling. Limited quantity based on what accumulates from our monthly R&D process.

Stock varies. When they're gone, they're gone. (until our next lots of leftover rebuilds maybe)

Frequently Asked Questions

Only when we accumulate enough samples from monthly R&D testing. Stock is unpredictable.

No. These are random samples from our testing process. Every satchel is different.

It's drinkable, but we recommend using it for baking, lattes, or desserts where you're less focused on subtle taste nuances.

Start testing as a latte first, if you enjoy it then great, if not, try baking or could pop it in your protein smoothie.

Various reasons - flavour profile didn't stand out, texture wasn't quite right, or it was good but not exceptional enough for our commercial standards.

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.

For no-nonsense lattes: Sage has a bitterness and astringency that make him refreshing

For daily lattes: go Gourmet's Gold

For lattes that have "nuttier" taste: Lady Fuku is bangin'

For classic "premium" feel and taste: The Masterpieceis your friend

For strong-luxurious lattes: Emerald Emperor or Scholar's Secret

For treating yourself cos you deserve it: Pinnacle Perfection

How we got started
It's more than tea
How we got started
During Covid I got up to 5 coffees a day.
At wits end, I opted for matcha. 
2021 Aussie matcha scene did not satisfy my taste buds; it tasted weak, bland or stale. 
Ok. Fine. 
So I imported a stash of matcha for personal use from a tiny Uji farm.
I made fresh matcha tea for my morning personal training clients. 
Most loved it.
A few asked me where they could score their own.
1 filthy-rich client told me to go all-in.
I told Vicky. She said "say less, babe"
We came up with Green Caffeine because Brown Caffeine wasn’t gonna cut it.

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.
