Matcha Tea
Barista Matcha
When farmers select leaves for barista matcha, they look at slightly different criteria than for other grades. It’s not only about achieving perfection when whisked with water, but also about ensuring the matcha holds its character when mixed with milk, oat milk, or almond milk. They choose leaves that are still vibrant green and fresh, but with a touch more intensity. This is what makes barista matcha the kind of matcha that “speaks up” in lattes, iced drinks, and desserts—without becoming bitter.

Everything you need to know
How to make the perfect matcha
Making matcha is a mindful, slowing-down ritual that connects you to the centuries-old traditions of the Japanese tea ceremony. Here’s how you can prepare your own perfect cup:
Water Temperature
Heat the water to 70–80 °C. Boiling water can easily make matcha bitter – patience is what brings perfection here.
Dosage
Use 1–2 grams (½ teaspoon) of matcha powder. If possible, sift it beforehand to remove any lumps and achieve a truly smooth, silky texture.
Mixing Technique
Add 60–80 ml of hot water. Whisk vigorously for 15–20 seconds using W- or M-shaped motions until a light foam forms on the surface. This is where the magic happens—the foam should be smooth and creamy.
Extra Tip
For a latte, first mix the matcha with a small amount of hot water to form a smooth paste, then add your preferred warmed milk. For an iced matcha, whisk it with cold water first, then pour it over ice.
**How to Choose?**
Not all matcha is created equal. Understanding the grades helps you choose the perfect one for your needs:
Ceremonial
The highest grade of matcha, made from the youngest tea leaves, with an exceptionally smooth flavor and a vibrant green color.
Recommended: For traditional tea ceremonies, enjoying on its own, and special occasions.
Premium
High quality with a rich flavor profile, perfect for everyday enjoyment.
Recommended: For everyday matcha lattes, smoothies, and mixing with milk.
Barista
Creamy, well-balanced flavor that holds up nicely in both dairy and plant-based drinks.
Recommended: For lattes, iced drinks, smoothies, and recipe experiments.
💡 Quick Tip: Look for a vibrant green color, a finely milled texture, and a fresh aroma. Good matcha has a slightly sweet, fresh “grassy” scent—never musty or dull.
Storage & Freshness
Matcha is delicate, so it requires proper care to preserve its vibrant color and fresh flavor:
- Store it in an airtight container, protected from light, heat, and moisture.
- Keep it in the refrigerator for maximum freshness (allow it to come to room temperature before opening).
- Use within 2–4 months after opening for the best flavor.
- Unopened and stored in the refrigerator, it can retain its freshness for up to 24 months.
- Always use a dry spoon—moisture is matcha’s biggest enemy.
Health & Wellness
Beyond the taste experience, matcha is a real “health powerhouse”:
Rich in Antioxidants
It contains up to 137× more EGCG than traditional green tea, thereby supporting health and vitality at the cellular level.
Calm Energy
L-theanine provides calm yet focused alertness without jitters—perfect for mindful, productive work.
Metabolic Support
Its natural compounds may help stimulate metabolism and support healthy weight management.
Chlorophyll & Natural Detoxification
The shade-grown leaves are particularly rich in chlorophyll, which supports the body’s natural detoxification processes.
