This is our Classic Organic Matcha – a high grade organic matcha that’s smooth, mild, and easy to enjoy. It’s made using a mix of first and second harvest leaves and stone-ground the traditional way. Great if you love a matcha latte or smoothie. Delicate aftertaste, no bitterness, rich fragrance – all-round lovely stuff. Matcha can be a wee bit fiddly to prepare but a guide below should help. Any questions just please ping us an email. Boil fresh water - it's always best to use fresh water in the kettle rather than reboil the water from a previous boil. Let the water cool to around 80°C. This can take around 10 minutes. A tip is to decant between cups - each decant removes about 5°C so 4 or 5 swaps will get it down to a good temperature. Put ½ teaspoon into a matcha bowl or mug. Whisk until a fine froth appears. Be careful if using an electric whisk that it does not spray. It should take around 10-15 seconds of whisking and you have your matcha. Taste, drink and enjoy! To make a latte - simply follow the above but with maybe a bit less water - then top up with warmed milk. Have a look at our blog post for more information about the heritage and culture of matcha.
