Frequently asked questions
What’s the difference between Ceremonial and Baking Matcha?
Our Ceremonial Matcha is first harvest and selected for everyday drinking, matcha lattes, and preparations where the matcha itself is the focus. Our Baking Matcha is third harvest with a more robust profile designed to remain noticeable when mixed into recipes.
How much matcha should I use?
Our everyday latte ratio uses 4g of matcha with 40g warm water and 100g milk. You can adjust the amount depending on how strong you like your matcha.
Do I need a bamboo whisk?
A bamboo whisk gives the best texture and helps create an even suspension and fine foam, but it isn’t the only way to prepare matcha. The important part is thoroughly dispersing the powder in water before adding milk or additional water.
How should I store my matcha?
Keep the matcha tightly sealed and refrigerated after opening. For best flavor and color, enjoy it within 2 months of opening. If refrigerated, allow the sealed container to come closer to room temperature before opening to help prevent condensation.
