This 3.52oz tin contains a culinary-grade, barista-focused matcha that blends smoothly into hot or cold beverages.

How do I prepare a café-style matcha latte with this powder?

Preparing a latte is straightforward: combine the recommended amount of matcha with warm water, whisk to dissolve, and then add steamed milk or a plant-based alternative. The powder is formulated to froth and emulsify well, creating a silky mouthfeel and even color in the finished drink.

• Use 1 tablespoon (about) of matcha with 2 oz of 160°F water for a concentrated base.
• Whisk vigorously for 15 seconds or use a milk frother to create microfoam.
• Top with 6–8 oz of steamed milk or a cold milk alternative for an iced latte.
• Sift before mixing if you want the smoothest, clump-free texture.
