No 1. Superior Ceremonial Grade Matcha 40g

Yes. All our matcha comes from Japan, and for every tea we state the region and cultivar: Yame in Fukuoka, Kagoshima, and Fuji and Asahina in Shizuoka. Matcha is not a protected name in the EU, so always check which country the tea comes from, not just the word matcha.

Start with a tea whose flavour comes through the milk. No 3 · Latte is made for exactly that. You can also use ceremonial matcha if you like the result.

Start with No 2. It is round and creamy and tastes lovely with just water. If you want more depth and umami, move on to No 6.

Region, cultivar and harvest make each tea taste different. Some are made for lattes, others for drinking with water. That’s how you find your favourite. Anton chooses every tea himself.

For matcha with water, start with 2 g and 75 ml water. For a hot latte, try 3 g, 100 ml water and 100 ml milk. These are starting recipes: adjust one amount at a time to suit your taste.

Around 80 °C is a good starting point. No thermometer? Let the water stand for 3–4 minutes after boiling, or mix three parts boiling water with one part cold. Hotter water brings out more bitterness, so if the cup tastes harsh, try slightly cooler water next time.

Sifting breaks up dry clumps before you add liquid. Use a small dry strainer, then mix the powder with a little water before adding the rest. It helps make the drink smoother.

Blend the sifted powder with a little water, then add the remaining measured water. Whisk back and forth with a relaxed wrist. Avoid pressing the whisk tines hard against the bottom of the bowl.

Yes. Whisk 3 g matcha with 100 ml water, then pour over ice and 100 ml cold milk or plant-based milk. Mix the matcha base before adding the ice to avoid dry clumps.

Use whichever milk or plant-based milk you like. Oat milk has a lot of its own flavour and sweetness, so if you want to taste more matcha, use a little more powder or less milk, or try almond or soy. Barista versions froth best and are less likely to curdle.

Umami describes savoury fullness. In matcha it is one part of the flavour, alongside green notes, sweetness, bitterness and texture. Tasting notes describe associations; they are not a list of added ingredients.

Ours shouldn’t: Anton leaves out teas that taste of grass, seaweed or the sea. Some matcha does, usually when it has gone stale or is made with water that is too hot. A light, sweet scent of nori is normal, though: it comes from the shading before harvest. Try 70–80 °C and 2 g of powder.

The sweet aroma of nori or cooked corn is the shade aroma, called ooika in Japanese. When the tea bushes are shaded before harvest, a compound forms in the leaves that becomes dimethyl sulfide when the leaves are steamed and dried, and Japanese tasters look for it. If the matcha instead smells rancid, dusty or musty, it has usually become old, warm or damp. Contact us if it is a pack you have just received.

Bitterness and astringency come mainly from catechins and caffeine, which are drawn out more in water above about 80 °C, while the umami comes through at lower temperatures. Try 70–80 °C and a little less powder, and change one thing at a time. Old matcha and later harvests can also taste more bitter.

Matcha is a very fine powder that attracts moisture and static, so it clumps easily. Sift the dry powder, mix it with a little water into a smooth paste, then add the rest of the liquid. Pouring milk straight onto the powder easily leaves lumps.

Unopened, the pouch is nitrogen-flushed with an oxygen absorber (Ageless) inside that protects the tea. Once opened: close the pouch tightly right after use and press out the air. Keep it dry, dark and cool, away from strong smells, as the powder easily picks up odours. Moisture is matcha’s worst enemy, so always use a dry spoon.

The best-before date is printed on the pouch and applies to an unopened pouch kept cool and dark. We deliberately set a short date, because taste and colour are at their best while the tea is fresh. Once opened, aroma and colour decide; see the question about opened pouches.

The tea is freshest right after the pouch is opened, and aroma and colour then fade gradually. Try to finish an opened pouch within a few weeks. Close it well after each use and keep it cool, dry and dark, ideally in the fridge.

A 40 g pouch makes 20 cups with 2 g, or about 13 lattes with 3 g. At one cup a day it lasts just under three weeks.

In independent tests, matcha has contained about 15–20 mg of caffeine per gram. A cup with 2 g therefore contains about 30–40 mg, and a latte with 3 g about 45–60 mg. According to the Swedish Food Agency, a cup of brewed coffee contains about 70 mg. The content varies between teas. If you are sensitive to caffeine, use less powder and drink it earlier in the day.

A bamboo whisk, or chasen, gives a fine, dense foam when you mix matcha with water. For lattes and cold drinks, a battery-powered milk frother works well in a tall glass, and cold drinks can also be shaken in a jar with a lid. Always sift the powder first.
