Everything people ask us about iron, matcha, caffeine, and getting qt to your door.
Three flagship flavors at launch: traditional vanilla (the classic, rounded out with real vanilla), strawberry (bright and a little flirty), and coconut (creamy, island-vacation energy). Same ceremonial-grade, iron-conscious base in every box.
No — and that's on purpose. qt contains zero added iron. Instead, every serving includes vitamin C, one of the best-documented supporters of iron absorption, so your daily cup is designed to work with the iron you already get from food rather than against it.
Tannins in tea can bind non-heme iron and reduce absorption — that's exactly the problem qt was designed around. We pair a first-harvest matcha base that's naturally lower in harsh tannins with added vitamin C, a well-documented absorption enhancer. Read the full breakdown on our iron story page.
No — qt is a food, not a medicine, and we won't pretend otherwise. If you have diagnosed iron-deficiency anemia or symptoms like persistent fatigue or dizziness, see your healthcare provider. If you're on a prescribed iron supplement, keep taking it as directed — qt contains no added iron.
Not even a little. There are no minerals or supplement salts in qt — just ceremonial-grade matcha, natural flavor, and vitamin C. What you taste is smooth, creamy matcha in traditional vanilla, strawberry, or coconut.
Roughly 60–70mg per serving — about two-thirds of a cup of coffee — paired with naturally occurring L-theanine for calm, sustained focus rather than a spike and crash.
Yes and yes. No added sugar, nothing artificial, and no animal-derived ingredients in any format — packets, tin, or cans.
qt contains no added iron, so the usual iron-supplement caution doesn't apply — but caffeine still counts in pregnancy. Keep total caffeine under the commonly advised 200mg/day and run any new daily ritual past your OB or midwife.
Tear a stick into 8–10oz of hot (not boiling) water and whisk, or shake it into cold water or your milk of choice — the powder is fine enough to dissolve without a whisk. Iced matcha lattes are the community favorite.
