How to Prepare

Matcha Latte

Combine matcha's natural sweetness and crisp green bite with the creamy texture of milk.

Step 1: Sift 3g (0.11 oz) of matcha (2 heaping tea ladles or 1.5 level teaspoons.)

Step 2: Pour boiling water into a teacup to cool it to 80°C (176°F), then pour 100 ml (2 oz) into tea bowl.

Step 3: Whisk vigorously 15 seconds, making an "M" shape.

Step 4: Add 100 ml (3.4 oz) of warmed or foamed milk into mug.

Usucha (thin tea)

The standard matcha whisking method, made to be a normal, liquid consistency.

Step 1: Sift 2g (0.07 oz) of matcha (1.5 heaped tea ladles or 1 level teaspoon.)

Step 2: Pour boiling water into a teacup to cool it to 80°C (176°F), then pour 60 ml (2 oz) into tea bowl.

Step 3: Whisk vigorously 15 seconds, making an "M" shape.

Koicha (thick tea)

Matcha made into a rich, thick paste by using less water and more matcha powder per serving.

Step 1: Sift 4 g (0.14 oz) of matcha (3 heaping tea ladles or 2 level teaspoons.)

Step 2: Cool boiling water to 80°C (176°F) in teacup, then pour 30 ml (1 oz) into bowl, just covering matcha powder.

Step 3: Whisk slowly for 15 seconds moving back and forth.

Premium matcha praised for its creamy texture, vibrant green color, and strong umami flavor. Customers said it's "not bitter at all" with a "clean, crisp" taste and "pleasant aftertaste." Easy to whisk and "very forgiving" for home preparation. Consistently delivers quality, though several shoppers noted the price is high relative to quantity.

Truly a classic matcha. Always creamy and vibrant for a matcha latte. For me I would say this is a more traditional mild matcha. Strong umami and mild sweetness that makes a velvety matcha. Love this matcha but the only con is the price compared to gram.

Very good.I would buy it regularly, but it's expensive for the amount I get.

This is really good matcha!!! Pretty bold clean flavor. A bit nutty not bitter and pretty creamy. Its a very green vibrant color and is a fine powder. Very delicious! Gave me a great buzz too more than other matchas but nothing overwhelming just a good steady pick me up! Would continue buying and would say this stands up to the pricey tag.

Top Notch Matcha

I'm relatively new to making matcha at home, and this one has made the experience so enjoyable. It's very forgiving to whisk and tastes incredible. Way better than what you get at most coffee shops.

Absolutely fantastic matcha. The texture is so creamy and it's not bitter at all. I've been enjoying it as a simple usucha every day. You can really taste the quality.

This is my second time ordering this specific one and I can’t get enough! You don’t need to do the full recommended amount because of its strong finish. My favorite morning tea! Thank you so much!

Thank you. Enjoy your matcha!

Wonderful Umami

The aroma right when you open the tin is amazing. It froths up so nicely, creating a lovely foam. The taste is clean, crisp, and leaves a pleasant aftertaste. I will definitely be buying this again.
