Matcha is finely ground Japanese green tea powder made from shade-grown Camellia sinensis leaves. Maison Genkai offers ceremonial grade matcha imported directly from Japan, perfect for matcha lattes or traditional tea ceremony.

How do you make a matcha latte?

Accepted Answer

Sift 2g of matcha into a bowl, add 60ml of water at 70°C, and whisk in a W motion with a bamboo whisk (chasen) until frothy. Pour over 150ml of warm oat or whole milk. Best results with ceremonial grade matcha.

Question 3

What is the difference between matcha for water and matcha for lattes?

Matcha intended for water prioritises a refined flavour profile. A latte needs enough presence to stay balanced with milk. Check each active product page for its recommended use.
