A new Vancouver startup is revolutionizing your daily matcha fix with your protein goals in mind.
Suna is a Vancouver-based brand that draws on tea formulation expertise from the team behind Paragon Team Room, offering collagen-infused protein teas.
The brand launched a Kickstarter campaign last month, attracting over 1,600 backers in just a short period of time. As a matter of fact, Suna exceeded their fundraising goal by 1800%!
“Together, we set out to create SUNA with one simple goal: to redefine wellness through simplicity, quality, and flavor. With backgrounds in tea formulation, digital growth, corporate finance and operations, we’ve built and scaled brands before – now, we’re bringing that experience to SUNA,” says their team.
“We created SUNA for a community that refuses to compromise on taste or nourishment. Our protein tea lattes are crafted to deliver a smooth, flavoruful experience because wellness should be something you actually enjoy.”
Suna’s protein tea
Suna was created to solve a common dilemma: choosing between great taste with poor nutrition, or clean ingredients that lack flavour.
In search of a solution, their team created a line of tea lattes – expertly crafted with premium protein, marine collagen, and authentic premium tea leaves to bring you a smooth, flavourful, and nourishing experience.

Each serving of Suna’s protein tea latte packs 20 grams of high-quality protein and 10 grams of marine collagen, all blended with authentic Japanese matcha or hojicha created by Paragon Tea Room. Their flavours include Ceremonial Matcha, Classic Early Grey, Royal Milk Tea and Dark Roast Hojicha.
Unlike chalky protein powders that tend to clump up, Suna’s products mixes seamlessly into milk or water.
“We believe that what you put into your body should be as straightforward as it is nourishing. That’s why we traveled directly to tea farms in Japan – to personally select the finest ingredients and ensure our blends honour their origins.”

If protein shakes aren’t for you, you’ll be happy to know that Suna was crafted with flavours that allow it to be added to recipes without any added sweeteners. Think overnight oats, protein mug cakes and chocolate dipped strawberries.
Whether you’re looking to build muscle, support your skin, or just find a more satisfying way to enjoy matcha and hojicha, Suna provides nutrition without sacrificing taste.
