Marisa is responsible for advertising and marketing, Teddie for operations and sales, and Levi, also a UCS alumni, for the financial side of the business, making them the perfect team – or make that perfect match(a). The calming energy boost associated with drinking matcha comes from the high levels of the previously mentioned amino acid, L-theanine. L-theanine has been shown to minimise anxiety, relieve stress, and boost focus. Recent research suggests that the combination of L-theanine and another amino acid called GABA counteracts the aggressive stimulating effects of caffeine . Thus, matcha, with its far smoother caffeination, doesn't negatively impact sleep quality like other caffeine sources.

When comparing the caffeine content of matcha to that of coffee, it is essential to keep in mind that matcha contains an amino acid called L-theanine. The calming energy boost associated with drinking matcha comes from the high levels of L-theanine. L-theanine has been shown to minimise anxiety, relieve stress, and boost focus. A handheld whisk or milk frother can be an excellent alternative to the traditional chasen. Handheld milk frothers, in particular, do a great job at frothing the matcha. All drinks are less than 60 calories and abundant in naturally occurring amino acids, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.
