Questions
All questionsWhat does shipping cost?
Subscriptions always ship free. One-time orders ship for $9, or free over $100. We ship from Vancouver. Most of Canada gets orders in 2 to 5 business days.
What if it’s not for me?
If your first order isn’t for you, tell us within 30 days of delivery and we’ll refund it in full. It doesn’t matter if you’ve opened it, and you don’t need to send it back. After your first order, unopened tins can be returned within 30 days.
How fresh is it?
Each 30 g pouch is sealed in Japan and we never open it. Sealed and kept cool, matcha holds up for about a year. Once you open it, it starts to fade, so finish it within about 30 days. That’s why the pouches are 30 g.
How much caffeine is in a cup?
About 32 mg per gram, so roughly 64 mg in a 2 g cup. For comparison, Health Canada puts a cup of brewed coffee at about 135 mg.
How does a subscription work?
Choose 1, 2 or 3 pouches per delivery and how often. Your first box brings one tin to keep (the first pouch is inside it) and any other pouches sealed. After that, refill pouches only. Skip or cancel anytime.
