Matcha Japanese Green Tea Powder

Good & Proper Matcha Japanese Green Tea Powder is a finely ground Japanese green tea with a vibrant character and distinctive rich, vegetal flavour. Unlike traditionally infused teas, matcha is whisked directly into water or milk, so the whole powdered tea is consumed.

Its smooth powdered format makes it ideal for preparing traditional-style matcha as well as the increasingly popular matcha latte. It can be enjoyed hot or iced and is equally useful for adding authentic green tea flavour and colour to baking and desserts.

Matcha Latte – Brewing & Serving Guide

For the best results, use 3g of Matcha Powder with 30ml of water at 80°C to prepare your matcha shot. Avoid boiling water, as the lower temperature helps preserve matcha's fresh, vegetal character and prevents unnecessary bitterness.

Iced Matcha Latte

What You Need

• 3g Matcha Powder – approximately 1 teaspoon
• 30ml water at 80°C
• 200ml cold milk or plant-based alternative
• Ice
• Honey, agave or your preferred sweetener – optional

Method

1. Sift 3g of Matcha Powder into a bowl or cup to remove any lumps.
2. Add 30ml of water at 80°C.
3. Whisk vigorously in a zig-zag motion until smooth and frothy. Alternatively, combine in a sealed jar and shake thoroughly.
4. Stir in a little honey, agave or your preferred sweetener if desired.
5. Fill a glass with plenty of ice and add 200ml of cold milk or plant-based alternative.
6. Pour over the prepared matcha, stir and serve.

Hot Matcha Latte

What You Need

• 3g Matcha Powder
• 30ml water at 80°C
• 200ml milk or plant-based alternative
• Honey, agave or your preferred sweetener – optional

Method

1. Sift 3g of Matcha Powder into a mug or bowl.
2. Add 30ml of water at 80°C.
3. Whisk in a zig-zag motion until smooth and lightly frothy.
4. Heat 200ml of milk or your preferred plant-based alternative until steaming, but do not allow it to boil.
5. Add sweetener to the matcha if desired.
6. Pour in the steamed milk, stir gently and serve.

Serving Guidance

Matcha can also be enjoyed without milk. Whisk the powder with water at around 80°C, adjusting the quantity of water to achieve your preferred strength.

For matcha lattes, dairy milk and plant-based alternatives can both be used. Oat milk provides a particularly creamy texture, while the unsweetened versions of plant-based milks allow more of the distinctive green tea character to come through.

Common Uses

Whisk with hot water for a traditional-style matcha drink or combine with milk for a smooth matcha latte. Serve hot or over ice, or use in smoothies, cakes, biscuits, desserts and other recipes requiring the distinctive flavour and colour of matcha.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong odours. Keep securely sealed after opening to help preserve its flavour, aroma and colour.
