A matcha latte you make in the cup: this is a powdered green tea mix that you whisk straight into hot milk, so there are no leaves to steep and nothing to strain. Matcha on its own can be sharply bitter; here it is sweetened with coconut blossom sugar, which takes that edge off and leaves a smooth, gently earthy cup with the green tea flavour still clear underneath. 100 g pack.
Details

This is a matcha latte in powder form: a sweetened green tea blend from the Café du Jour loose tea range that you whisk straight into hot milk. Nothing is steeped and nothing is strained, so a bamboo whisk and a sieve are not part of it — a cup and a spoon will do.

Matcha is green tea leaf ground to a fine powder, which is why it goes into the milk instead of having to be brewed out of it. On its own that powder is bracingly bitter. The coconut blossom sugar in this blend takes the edge off, and what is left is smooth and gently earthy, with the green tea flavour still clearly there under the sweetness.

How to make it

Measure a tablespoon of the mix into your cup. Heat the milk until it is hot but not boiling, add a splash and stir or whisk until the paste is smooth, then pour in the rest and stir again. A milk frother will give you foam on top if you want it the way a coffee bar would serve it.

Is Matcha Latte healthy?

Matcha is grand for antioxidants, potassium, vitamin A, vitamin C, iron and protein.

That said, the powder does have sugar in it. We all know that too much sugar isn't great for us. Even though the coconut blossom sugar in our Matcha Latte is unrefined, has natural minerals and a low glycemic index, it's still sugar at the end of the day.

In short, we reckon a Matcha Latte made with our Matcha Latte powder is a reasonable sweet treat for a healthy and mindful diet.

Additional Ideas: smoothies, cooking and baking with matcha latte!

Our Matcha Latte powder is quite the all-rounder and perfect for all sorts of uses:

  • Smoothies: Throw a teaspoon of matcha latte powder into your favourite smoothie for an extra kick of green tea flavour.
  • Cooking and baking: You can use matcha latte powder in baked goods like muffins, pancakes, and even in savoury dishes. The coconut blossom sugar lends a gentle caramel taste that fits well with both sweet and savoury recipes.

FAQ
Customer Questions
Can I also use the Matcha Latte Mix with plant-based milk, such as almond milk or soya milk?
Yes, our Matcha Latte Mix can be prepared perfectly with both cow's milk and plant-based milks, such as almond milk or soya milk. This way, you can enjoy a creamy, vegan matcha latte without compromising on flavour.
How many cups of matcha latte can I make with one 100-gram pack?
With one 100 gram pack, you can make approximately 20 cups of matcha latte. We recommend using one teaspoon (approx. 5 grams) of powder per cup, but of course you can use a little more or less to taste.
Is it necessary to use a special matcha whisk, or can you manage without one?
For the best results, we recommend using a matcha whisk (chasen). This ensures that the powder dissolves completely and creates a nice layer of foam. If you don't have one, you can also use a small whisk, milk frother, or a well-sealed shaker.
Can I prepare my matcha latte both hot and cold with this mix?
Yes, this product is suitable for both a hot matcha latte and a refreshing iced matcha latte. In the preparation instructions on this page, you will find a recipe for both variations.
Is the Matcha Latte Mix sweet in flavour or do I need to add extra sweetener?
Our Matcha Latte Mix is lightly sweetened with coconut blossom sugar, which gives it a subtle sweetness of its own. Adding extra sweetener is therefore not necessary, but you can always adjust it to your preference if you wish.
