100% Japanese Ceremonial Matcha
Great Coffee Replacement
Keeps You Sharp At Work
Ceremonial-grade matcha you can drink every day. First harvest. $3.60 per latte (3 grams). Stone-milled, farm-direct from Uji, Kyoto.
Crisp. Smooth. What good ceremonial matcha is supposed to taste like.
The Masterpiece has a crisp, clean green tea flavour with a pleasant bitterness. Unharsh nor sour. It's a gentle bitterness that make you want another sip.
Sipped slowly, there are hints of sweetness underneath with noticeable vegetal notes.
In a latte, the matcha flavour actually comes through the milk. That's the difference between first and second harvest — first harvest matcha have more depth, so the taste is not masked by milk.
On its own with just hot water, it's smooth and yummy enough to drink without anything else.
Tasting notes: Crisp green tea. Vegetal notes with sweet hints. Pleasant bitterness. Clean finish.
Body: Medium. Enjoyable as a traditional tea. Punchy enough in lattes.
Bitterness: Light & unharsh.
You'll love this if you:
Want matcha that tastes noticeably better than premium-grade. More depth, more character
Drink matcha straight with water sometimes, not only in lattes
Are quitting coffee and want your morning replacement to feel worth it
Tried cheap matcha that tasted flat or bitter and assumed all matcha was like that
Want ceremonial quality without paying $9 per cup at the shops
This might NOT be for you if:
You only make lattes and want the lowest cost per cup → Try Gourmet's Gold
What you'll need: The Masterpiece, hot water, your favourite milk (soy & oat work great for Masterpiece!), a whisk or frother.
Step 1 — Sift Add 1–2 scoops (3g) of matcha to your cup. Sifting removes lumps and makes everything smoother.
Step 2 — Paste Pour in a splash of hot water (15–20ml). Stir slowly into a smooth, thick paste. This is the key to a great latte — don't skip it.
Step 3 — Milk Add 60–80ml of your milk directly to the paste. Try oat for that signature matcha latte flavour.
Step 4 — Froth Whisk or froth everything together until smooth and frothy. Pour over ice if you like it cold.
Optional: Add a teaspoon of sugar or agave if you like it sweet.
Total time: 2 minutes. Total cost: $2.04
FOR STRAIGHT MATCHA TEA (1 minute)
This is where The Masterpiece earns its name.
Step 1 — Sift 1.5g into a bowl.
Step 2 — Pour 70–80ml of hot water (around 80°C).
Step 3 — Whisk briskly for 15–20 seconds until frothy.
If you've only ever had matcha in lattes, try it this way once. The flavour is completely different! Fuller, cleaner, more interesting.
First Harvest. Uji, Kyoto.
The Masterpiece is a blend of two Japanese tea plant varieties — Samidori and Okumidori. Both are known for producing smooth, naturally sweet matcha.
First harvest means the leaves are picked in spring, when the plant has spent months building up nutrients. That concentrated growth is what gives first-harvest matcha more depth and flavour over second-harvest powder.
Grown and made in Uji, Kyoto — the benchmark for premium matcha.
We import directly from the farm. No middlemen or blending with cheaper sources.
Harvest: First harvest (spring pick) — shade-grown 3+ weeks before harvest to concentrate flavour and nutrients.
Freshness: Imported monthly. Shipped from our Melbourne warehouse.
Ingredient list: 100% Japanese Green Tea Powder (Camellia sinensis).

How Is This Different From Gourmet's Gold?
This is the most common question we get. Here's the straight answer.
Gourmet's Gold is a second-harvest matcha built for daily lattes. Light, smooth, easy to drink, and the best value in our range at $1.40/cup. If you make a latte every morning and want something reliable and affordable, that's the one.
The Masterpiece is a first-harvest ceremonial matcha. The flavour has more depth and more green tea flavours. It works well in lattes becauses the taste actually comes through the milk — but it also works on its own as straight thin-tea with water.
Masterpiece is a matcha you can drink two ways, with noticeably more flavour, from the first spring harvest.
If you're not sure, start with Gourmet's Gold. If you already know you like matcha and want more from it, The Masterpiece is worth the upgrade.

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.
Here's a mini guide to recreate your favourite cafe matcha.
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 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: 4.9 / 5 from 89 reviews.
So smooth with low astringency, perfect for daily lattes. The colour from green caffeine never disappoints, forever buying more! Love the refill bags
My absolute fave matcha - have bought quite a few of these and they never disappoint! Lovely flavour and beautiful colour, plus the cutest packaging. Really is a masterpiece <333
This green matcha exceeded my expectations. The colour is a beautiful vibrant green, the taste is smooth with no harsh bitterness, and the quality feels fresh and premium. It mixes well and gives a nice calm energy boost. Highly recommended for matcha lovers.
I've been repurchasing this matcha for almost a year now! and cant see myself stopping anytime soon. A morning ritual i cant miss! truly the best matcha ive tried!
This matcha is absolutely delicious! It’s really smooth and easy to drink, with just the right amount of richness and a hint of bitterness that keeps it refreshing. It mixes beautifully into lattes but is also delicious on its own.
This is my second time ordering for my friends and I - I fell in love with this matcha! Such good quality, packaging was so cute with an adorable hand written, they gave us instructions to make the perfect matcha! We all got together and made these beautiful green concoctions :D
Every detail about my experience with the Green Caffeine team was fantastic! They were so friendly in helping me choose the blend that would suit my taste best. The website was extremely easy to navigate and buy from. Then, I received my matcha within 24 hours of ordering! The packaging was thoughtful and I loved the design of the box and tin, as well as the handwritten note and sticker popped into my order! Best of all? The matcha tastes fantastic! It's so smooth and balanced. I don't even need to add any sweetener, it tastes great on it's own. I will definitely be repurchasing and I highly recommend supporting Green Machine if you're in the market for a 'seriously good matcha'!
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! 🌱🎀
First time trying the The Masterpiece Ceremonial Matcha and it was really good! The colour is so vibrant and the taste is one of my favourites so far. Mostly been making lattes with it, it has a fresh and nutty base to it without any bitterness. Would highly recommend!
I’m honestly a little bit speechless — this matcha shop has completely stolen my heart! From the moment I opened the package, I could feel the love and care poured into every detail. The packaging was so thoughtful and playful, it truly felt like a receiving a present from a friend.
And the matcha… oh my goodness. It’s absolutely divine — so smooth, fresh, and vibrant. You can taste the quality and the passion behind it. I already know I’ll never be able to go back to anything else!
Absolutely obsessed with this matcha! I mixed it with pistachio spread and the flavour combo was unreal!! Smooth, slightly nutty, and not a hint of bitterness. Easily the best tasting matcha I’ve tried. I’ve already placed my second order and this is definitely going to be a regular part of my routine. Highly recommend if you’re after quality matcha without the harsh bite.
Probably the best matcha i’ve had so far i especially loved the vibrant colour, it’s smooth with an earthy base and nutty aftertaste especially when i add oat milk to my lattes. Would definitely recommend.
I found my love for matcha with GC, the caffeinated boost feels lighter and clearer in the head. This is my 2nd purchase and I still picked the same. Not so much because I am knowledgable about my matcha preference, but because GC's expectation for freshness and quality of their product and the tin is a great and secure way to be on the go (work from home and work at wherever else).
Oh, Vicky and Leo, I saw what you did to improve the seal on the tin-cap. Really appreciate that attention to detail!
(for those who don't know, tldr: there used to be foam on the tin cap as a way to provide an airtight seal? It was already working great. And they improved it)
I’ve ordered from Green Caffeen several times, and I recently had the chance to try The Master Piece—and wow, the flavor is on another level! It was so delicious that in my next order, I made sure to stock up with four tins, and it definitely won’t be my last.
I also love the caffeine boost—it gives me the perfect kick to power through the day!
ps- I love th cute box details and stickers
Thanks Team :)
Absolutely obsessed with the colour of this matcha. 10 out of 10. I'm very satisfied with the quality and taste. I was also very impressed with the amount of detail that goes into every order such as the cute stickers and illustrations on the packaging. Their customer service is just as good as their quality matcha.
I buy matcha from Green Caffeine for my partner, and I have to say, it’s been an incredible find. She’s very particular about her matcha, so discovering one that she absolutely loves is a win in itself.
Beyond the amazing product, the little touches like the handwritten notes and stickers included in the packages really stand out – they make the experience feel personal and thoughtful.
Their social media presence is also fantastic. It’s engaging and makes me want to support them even more. Overall, I can’t express enough how awesome Green Caffeine is. Highly recommend to anyone looking for premium matcha with exceptional customer care!
The shipment arrived surprisingly fast, all the way from Australia to Saudi Arabia! The matcha tastes amazing—so fresh and of excellent quality you can tell by its greenies . I love it and highly recommend 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.
