The full ingredient list.
NZ Grass-Fed Whey Protein Isolate
Whey protein isolate (WPI) is a high-protein filtered milk product containing very little fats, lactose or carbohydrates. Our high-quality WPI is sourced from New Zealand, where the dairy farming practices and pristine environment are unparalleled. Our whey undergoes less acidification and pasteurisation than others, resulting in a superior essential amino acid profile.
Matcha Green Tea
Our organic matcha is grown in Kyoto, Japan and is naturally high in health-promoting tea catchetins, chlorophyll and amino acids. It’s ideal for boosting metabolism, enhancing concentration and reducing stress.
Vanilla Beans
These orchid vines climb existing trees, poles or whatever they can find and produce deep green beans. When picked, they are quickly blanched in boiling water then set out to dry. Known for its mood enhancing properties and warm inviting aroma. Provides the blend with a delicious, crowd-pleasing taste! Our vanilla is the same A-grade beans that you will find in specialty cooking stores and delis.
Monk Fruit
Monk fruit (Lo Han Guo) extract provides just the right amount of sweetness, tasting similar to brown sugar, and having anti-diabetic, anti-carcinogenic, anti-bacterial, antioxidant, and anti-allergic effects.
Non-GMO sunflower lecithin (0.1% for mixing)
We include a tiny amount of non-GMO sunflower lecithin in our whey protein blends - 0.1%. It is an emulsifier that’s needed for mixing, and it keeps the whey powder from bricking when mixed with liquid.

Japanese Matcha WPI tastes like a smooth, creamy matcha latte—earthy green tea up front with a lightly sweet, rounded finish. The matcha flavour is fresh and grassy (not bitter), and the touch of vanilla helps soften the edges and add a subtle creaminess, so it’s more “cafè-style matcha” than straight matcha powder.
Best enjoyed with cold water + ice, or blended with milk for full matcha-latte vibes.
Japanese Matcha WPI contains almost no lactose and is suitable for most lactose-intolerant people.
