50g Culinary Matcha Tea

The first pleasure is the colour: a soft green powder ready to swirl into water, milk, batter or cream. This culinary matcha tea is made from Japanese green tea leaves, stone-ground into a smooth powder for everyday drinks, baking and cooking. It is the kind of tin you keep close to hand, for a morning latte, a quiet baking hour, or a simple bowl whisked at the kitchen counter.

Green, grassy and made to mix

• The powder has a fresh green look, with the fine, slightly clumped texture you expect from matcha.
• Whisk it into water for a clean green tea moment, or soften it with milk for a matcha latte.
• In baking, it brings colour and a gentle green tea character to cakes, biscuits, pancakes and icing.
• The square tin has a deep green botanical design with warm metallic tones, made to sit neatly on a tea shelf.
• Because it is culinary grade, it is especially suited to mixing, blending and cooking rather than reserved ceremonial use.

Japanese green tea, stone-ground

This is matcha in powder form, made from Japanese green tea leaves that have been finely stone-ground. Unlike loose leaf tea, matcha is mixed directly into your drink or recipe, so there are no leaves to strain. Its character is green, earthy and softly vegetal, with enough presence to hold its own in milk, pastry and sweet recipes.

How to use it well

For a simple drink, sift a little powder into a bowl or mug, add warm water, then whisk or stir until smooth. For lattes, blend it first with a small amount of water before adding milk, so the powder disperses evenly.

In cooking and baking, add it gradually and taste as you go. Matcha is concentrated in flavour, and a small amount can change both colour and taste.

Matcha in everyday ritual

Matcha has deep roots in Japanese tea culture, where powdered green tea is whisked with care and attention. Culinary matcha sits on the everyday side of that lineage. It is not the formal centrepiece of chanoyu, the Japanese tea ceremony, but a practical green tea powder for kitchens, cafés and home rituals. It lets you bring matcha into daily life in an easy way: a quiet latte before work, green tea folded into a cake batter, or a small pause while the whisk moves through the bowl.

Common questions

Does culinary matcha contain caffeine?
Yes. Matcha is made from green tea leaves, and green tea naturally contains caffeine.

Is culinary matcha the same as ceremonial matcha?
No. Culinary matcha is intended for lattes, smoothies, baking and cooking. Ceremonial matcha is usually chosen for drinking plain with water.

Do I need a bamboo whisk?
A bamboo whisk gives the smoothest traditional texture, but it is not essential for everyday use. A small kitchen whisk, milk frother or careful stirring can also work for drinks and recipes.
