Why Matcha?

People choose matcha for its fresh, mild flavor and beautiful bright green color. The powder is versatile and can be used in many ways: pure as a tea, in a latte, smoothie, or in breakfasts and baked goods. Because the whole leaf is finely ground, you retain the natural nutrients and amino acids, such as L-theanine. Matcha is popular with anyone who appreciates plant-based, natural ingredients with a rich, full flavor.

Matcha powder

Matcha powder is made from carefully selected tea leaves that are steamed, dried, and then slowly ground with granite stones into a fine, bright green powder. This traditional process preserves the natural flavor, color, and nutrients. Matcha powder is ideal for tea, lattes, or as an addition to smoothies and baked goods.

Matcha Latte

Matcha is the foundation for a delicious latte that can be prepared in a variety of ways. Hot, it's a creamy drink with (plant-based) milk and a full, smooth flavor. Cold, it's refreshing and increasingly popular in the form of an iced matcha latte with strawberry or mango puree; a colorful, fruity version that perfectly suits the current trend. Whether you drink it hot or cold, matcha latte remains a unique combination of flavor and experience.

What makes matcha so versatile?

What is the best way to store matcha and how long does it last?

Store matcha in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. For ceremonial matcha, the refrigerator is a good option. For best taste, use within 3–6 months of opening.

Should I use a bamboo whisk (chasen) or can I use something else?

A chasen is ideal for creating a light foam, but you can also use a small whisk, a milk frother, or a jar with a lid. The foam will be slightly less thick, but the flavor will remain.

How do you make a matcha latte?

Sift 1–2 teaspoons of matcha into a bowl and add a small amount of hot water (about 70–80°C). Whisk the mixture until smooth and slightly frothy. Then add warm milk or a plant-based milk and froth until frothy. You can sweeten it lightly with honey or a sweetener, if desired.

How do you make an iced matcha latte?

Sift 1–2 teaspoons of matcha into a bowl and add a small amount of hot water (about 70–80°C). Whisk until smooth and lightly frothy. Fill a glass with ice cubes and (plant-based) milk and pour the whipped matcha over it. Garnish with a drizzle of vanilla, coconut, or caramel syrup for extra flavor.

Is matcha the same as green tea?

No, with matcha, you use the whole leaf, finely ground, while with regular green tea, only the tea extracts are steeped in water. This gives matcha a more intense flavor and color.

How do I know which matcha is best for me?

Choose based on use: culinary matcha for smoothies and recipes, premium matcha for versatile use, and ceremonial matcha for a refined, smooth taste.

Does matcha contain caffeine?

Yes, matcha contains caffeine, but its effects differ from those of coffee. Matcha also contains the amino acid L-theanine, which can help soften the effects of caffeine and promote a calming focus.

Can everyone drink matcha?

In general, matcha is safe for most people to consume, but it contains caffeine, so people who are sensitive to caffeine should take it into account. However, pregnant women and people with certain health conditions should exercise caution and consult their doctor if necessary before consuming matcha.
