frequently asked Questions

What makes matcha so special in recipes?

Matcha not only gives your recipes its characteristic green color, but also a uniquely mild, bitter flavor and valuable nutrients like antioxidants and amino acids. Whether in drinks or baking, matcha adds that special something.
Can I bake and cook with any matcha?

In principle, you can bake and cook with any matcha powder. Many people use a lower-quality matcha for dishes or drinks with strong flavors because the delicate flavor is otherwise lost.

However, at Health Bar, we consciously recommend high-quality matcha – even for baking or cooking. Because the better the quality, the more delicate and harmonious the flavor remains.

Our Organic Matcha Traditional Perfect. It has a slightly stronger flavor and is more affordable, making it ideal for creative recipes that require the preservation of the matcha flavor despite the use of other ingredients.

For recipes that do not require excessive heating (such as desserts or shakes), we recommend our particularly mild and high-quality Organic Matcha Ceremonial, as this is where the delicate taste comes out particularly well.

➡️ Matcha quality differences explained
Why should I use high-quality matcha when cooking and baking?

Many manufacturers offer so-called "cooking grade" matcha for cooking or baking. These are often cheaper, but also have noticeably bitter or flat flavors.

We believe that quality pays off in the kitchen too! With high-quality, carefully produced matcha – like our Ceremonial or Traditional – the aroma remains balanced, fresh, and pleasantly green. You can taste this not only in pure tea, but also in cakes, pancakes, or dressings.
Which matcha is best for matcha latte, iced latte or desserts?

For creamy latte drinks and cold dishes, we recommend our particularly fine Organic Matcha Ceremonial.

Why?
Because this matcha has a mild, sweet flavor that pairs perfectly with milk alternatives, yogurt, or cream. Its gentle, fresh profile is particularly well-preserved in recipes that don't require high heat.

If you are baking or cooking, feel free to use Organic Matcha Traditional – here the stronger flavor brings the best results, even at high temperatures.
Does matcha lose its effectiveness when baking or cooking?

When matcha is heated, some of its heat-sensitive components, such as certain antioxidants, are actually lost. But don't worry—even in warm dishes or when baking, matcha still provides valuable nutrients and, above all, is responsible for its distinctive flavor and beautiful green color.

For high heat recipes we recommend our Organic Matcha Traditional, as it has a more intense flavor and is still excellent after baking.
How much matcha should I use in recipes?

It all depends on the recipe and your personal taste! For drinks like matcha latte, 1–2 grams is usually sufficient. When baking or cooking, you can use a little more to ensure the matcha flavor comes through well even after heating.

As a rough guide:

  • For cakes or muffins, use about 5–10 grams of matcha.
  • For desserts or creams, approx. 2–5 grams.

You will always find the exact quantities directly in the respective recipeso you can easily measure the perfect amount for your matcha dish.

If you want an intense aroma and a beautiful color, we recommend the strong Organic Matcha Traditional.
Does matcha retain its beautiful green color when baked?

The intense green color is one of matcha's highlights – however, it can change at high temperatures. When baked or heated for extended periods, the color often becomes somewhat duller or slightly brownish. To minimize this, we recommend processing the matcha as gently as possible and not baking at too high a temperature.
