Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder

Product Details

Made for Lattes, Smoothies, and Everyday Recipes

This organic Japanese matcha is crafted for recipes where you want the flavor of matcha to come through clearly. Made from second-harvest Yabukita tea leaves, it has a bold taste that stands up well to milk, fruit, sweeteners, and other ingredients without getting lost in the mix. Unlike many culinary matcha powders that can taste sharp or overly bitter, it offers a richer matcha flavor with a smoother finish, making it a great choice for lattes, smoothies, desserts, and everyday matcha recipes.

Bright Color, Soft Texture, Easy Preparation

Sourced from Mie, Japan, this matcha has a naturally vibrant green color and a fine, smooth texture that reflects the quality of the tea leaves used. It maintains a bright green appearance in drinks and recipes, avoiding the dull or brown tones often found in lower-quality matcha powders. Finely milled into a soft powder, it dissolves quickly and blends smoothly into water or milk with minimal clumping. It works well in hot matcha, iced drinks, smoothies, baking, and a wide range of everyday recipes, making preparation simple and consistent.

USDA and JAS Organic Matcha

This culinary grade powder matcha is certified under USDA Organic standards in the United States and JAS Organic standards in Japan, both of which require strict controls on how tea is grown and processed, with no synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or unnecessary additives. Made from pure ground green tea leaves, it contains no sugar or fillers, offering a clean, simple ingredient for everyday use.

Preparation & Care

Creamy Matcha Latte Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon Culinary Grade Matcha Green Tea Powder
  • ¼ cup hot water (160–180°F)
  • ¼ cup warmed milk (soy, cashew, coconut, or any milk of choice)
  • Optional: sweetener of your choice (to taste)
  • Optional: vanilla bean or cinnamon (for added flavor)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Matcha
  2. Sift the matcha powder into a matcha bowl to remove any lumps.
  3. Add hot water 80C (176F) to the matcha.
  4. Using a matcha whisk, whisk briskly in an up-and-down motion for about 30 seconds until the mixture becomes frothy.
  5. Add Milk
  6. Pour warm milk over the frothed matcha tea. Taste and adjust flavors by adding vanilla, cinnamon, sweetener, or additional water or milk as desired.

Blender Method (Alternative)

  • If you don't have a whisk, combine milk, matcha powder, sweetener (e.g., honey or agave nectar), and vanilla in a blender. Cover and blend on high until the mixture is creamy and frothy.

Cold Latte Option

  • Add the ingredients and a handful of ice to a jar for an iced matcha latte. Cover and shake vigorously until well combined.

Tips for the Perfect Latte

  • Water Temperature: Keep the water between 160–180°F to avoid a bitter, burnt taste. A good tip is to let your kettle boil and cool for a few minutes before adding it to the matcha powder.

Enjoy your creamy, flavorful Matcha Latte!

Rich, bold, and vibrant with a natural earthy flavor, this culinary matcha is made from the second harvest and chosen specifically for smoothies and lattes, where its flavor needs to come through clearly alongside other ingredients.

It’s easy to prepare, gives a clear sense of the flavor and strength, and helps you find the right amount to use in your own creative recipes.

Organic Standards You Can Trust Every Day

USDA Organic certification in the United States and JAS Organic certification in Japan both follow strict standards for how tea is grown and processed. They set clear rules that limit synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and unnecessary additives, focusing instead on careful farming practices and clean production. Having both certifications adds an extra layer of confidence. It means the matcha is held to trusted organic standards in two regions known for their strict quality controls. From cultivation in Japan to final processing, every step follows guidelines designed to keep the tea pure and consistent, giving you a matcha you can feel good about using every day.
