  • Traditional Matcha

What exactly is matcha tea?

We'll tell you what the trendy food is that's taken the world by storm: Matcha is a fine powder made from the dried leaves of green tea. The name itself comes from the Japanese, 抹茶.(ma cha), and literally means "ground tea." The Japanese themselves have long loved and used it in their traditional tea ceremony. Nowadays, matcha is not only drunk but also eaten – be it as a cake, Matcha chocolate Or ice cream. With its delicately sweet to refreshingly tart flavor, the powder is equally impressive on its own and as a team player. Sweet, creamy, fluffy—many things harmonize with matcha tea.

Gentle wake-up call: Matcha instead of coffee

Are you unresponsive without that morning caffeine kick? Does the afternoon slump regularly leave you drifting off to sleep at work? Coffee is often the first thing we choose when we want to wake up – but too much of it isn't good for the body. Moreover, the bitter bean doesn't appeal to every palate. However, you don't have to forgo all pick-me-ups: Try Matcha instead of coffee! The gentle taste of our premium matcha powder will satisfy even those with sensitive palates. The caffeine it contains, sometimes referred to as theine, is valued as a gentle alternative to coffee. The green tea powder is a bit gentler on you – a cup made from about one teaspoon of matcha contains around 70 mg of caffeine. Coffee contains the same amount between 80 and 130 mg.

How to prepare Matcha

The big difference from conventional tea is that matcha isn't brewed and doesn't need to be steeped. No plant parts are left over. Instead, you mix water with the powder. This way, you drink the whole tea leaf and absorb all valuable ingredients Whether you prepare your matcha ceremonially or with modern Western cooking utensils is up to you!

  • Matcha green tea: the traditional way

    If you want to enjoy your Matcha in the most traditional way, you need the right Matcha equipment, as it is also used in Japanese Matcha preparation:

    Heat water, preferably low in limescale, to a maximum of 80 degrees Celsius. Using a bamboo spoon, add some matcha to the bowl. Pour in hot water, but first, only enough to mix with the tea powder to form a paste to avoid lumps. Once you've thoroughly stirred the paste until smooth, pour the remaining water into the bowl while stirring. Matcha bowl and uses the bamboo whisk to mix the paste and water and whip it until fluffy.

  • Matcha green tea: the modern way

    Cup, teaspoon and milk frother Most of us already have one at home. You can follow the traditional method: Blend hot water and matcha into a paste, then pour in more hot (or cold) water. The milk frother stirs everything thoroughly and creates a delicious foam on top. 

    Our tip: We still recommend using a whisk to avoid creating too much foam. Stirring with a chasen is also part of the ritual and has a somewhat meditative quality.

    Give to your heart's content soy milk, rice syrup, ice cubes or add completely different ingredients! Do you need inspiration or want to use your matcha as Matcha Latte or Iced Matcha Latte Then take a look at our ever-growing Recipe collection.
