We shook it to the streets.
Before DARK MODE, we launched under our first name in SoHo, NYC on 06.27.26. We spent a few good hours with the city's matcha latte drinkers and captured their honest takes. Then, like the green tea leaf, we went back into the shade to build something deeper.
RICHNESS GROWS IN THE DARK.
FAQ
The essentials.
How caffeinated is it?
About 50mg per pouch, roughly half a cup of coffee. If you're pregnant, sensitive to caffeine, or managing a medical condition, check with your doctor first.
Where do you ship?
All 50 US states, shipped from Queens, NY within 2–3 business days. Continental US shipping is free on orders of $50+ and $7.99 under $50. Alaska & Hawaii ship at a flat $12.
What's your return policy?
If you don't love it, reach out within 30 days of delivery and we'll refund your order in full. No need to send it back. Just reply to your order confirmation. Real founder-monitored inbox.
Do you offer subscriptions?
Yes. Three cadences — weekly (25% off), bi-weekly (18% off), monthly (12% off). Every subscription includes a free 12oz Activation Tumbler on your first order. Skip, pause, or change your cadence anytime. To honor the free Tumbler, we ask for a minimum of two deliveries. Cancel anytime after your second.
Is the matcha shade-grown?
Yes. All quality matcha plants are shade-grown before harvest — that's what builds the amino acids and L-theanine that make premium matcha taste different. We source only shade-grown, latte-grade matcha from Japan.
Where does your matcha come from?
Our shade-grown, latte-grade matcha comes from Japan. Blended for consistent umami and clean finish — optimized for milk-based drinks.
What's actually in the pouch?
Six ingredients: shade-grown latte-grade matcha (3.5g), allulose, MCT, oat milk powder, sunflower lecithin, sea salt. No gums, no fillers, no artificial sweeteners.
How does the 10-second prep work?
Cold: add 5 oz of cold water to your Activation Tumbler, tear in one pouch, cap it, and shake for 10 seconds. Hot: add 5 oz of hot water to a mug, tear in one pouch, and whisk for 10 seconds with an electric whisk. Either way, ten seconds.
How sweet is it?
Lightly sweet, so the matcha leads. We sweeten with allulose, a rare sugar found in figs and raisins that tastes like sugar. Each pouch has 0g added sugars and 2g total sugars. Allulose is counted under total carbohydrate on the label instead.
Like it sweeter? Stir in your sweetener of choice.
How do I measure the water?
One pouch takes 5 oz of water (about 150 ml, a little over half a cup). The Activation Tumbler has a fill line for exactly that, so pour to the line and shake. No tumbler handy? Fill a measuring cup just past the 1/2 cup mark.
Do I need ice?
Ice is preferred. Shake with 5 oz of cold water, then pour over ice for the full iced latte. On the go without ice? Shake it with cold water and sip it straight from the tumbler. It's still a great latte.
Did you change your name?
Yes. We launched under our first name in June 2026 and have since become DARK MODE. Same team, same 10-second oat latte, same six ingredients and the same latte-grade matcha from Japan. Orders, subscriptions and reviews from before the name change all carry over.
