Ceremonial vs culinary vs latte blends

Matcha is green tea leaf that has been stone-ground into a powder and whisked into water, so you consume the whole leaf. That is also why it is higher in caffeine than a steeped tea bag per cup.

  • Ceremonial grade: usually the smoothest, sweetest and least bitter, intended for whisking with water. Ceremonial is a marketing term rather than a regulated grade, so judge by origin, ingredient list, colour and price.
  • Culinary or everyday matcha: stronger and a little more bitter, which is fine in lattes, smoothies and baking.
  • Latte blends: matcha mixed with sweetener, milk powder, greens or collagen. Convenient, but you are paying for the extras, and the matcha content per serve is lower.
  • Tea bags: the easiest option, but the Kintra bags are a blend, with 30% Japanese matcha per the listing.

Look for: a single ingredient (green tea or matcha), a stated origin, a vivid green colour, and a tin that protects against light and air. Store the tin sealed in a cool, dark place.

Price per 100 g and cost per cup

Cost per cup assumes about 1 g of matcha per serve for straight powders, which matches the Kintra listing's own preparation instructions. Latte blends use the serves stated on their listings.

How to make matcha

  1. Sift about 1 g (half to one teaspoon) of matcha into a bowl to remove lumps.
  2. Add 20 to 30 ml of hot water at roughly 80 degrees, not boiling.
  3. Whisk briskly in an M or W motion until smooth and frothy.
  4. Drink as is, or top up with 90 ml or more of hot or frothed milk for a latte. Add ice for an iced matcha latte.

Matcha pairs well with a spoonful of cacao for a mocha-style drink. If you want a caffeine alternative, see our coffee alternatives and mushroom coffee.

Caffeine and safety

  • Matcha contains caffeine, and the amount varies by product and how much you use. Check the label and keep an eye on your total daily caffeine from tea, coffee and energy drinks. See Healthdirect on caffeine.
  • If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, sensitive to caffeine or taking medicines, speak with your doctor or pharmacist before adding matcha to your routine.
  • Enjoy matcha earlier in the day if caffeine affects your sleep; see our sleep supplements guide for more on evening routines.
  • Matcha is a food or tea. It is not a treatment for any condition.

FAQ

What is the best matcha powder in Australia?

It depends on how you drink it. For daily lattes, a lower-priced organic matcha such as Dr Superfoods or Kintra is practical. For drinking whisked with water, a ceremonial grade matcha such as Evolution Botanicals is the smoother choice.

What does ceremonial grade matcha mean?

It describes the highest quality tier, usually smoother and less bitter and intended for drinking with water. The term is not a regulated standard, so also check origin, ingredients and colour.

Is matcha better than coffee?

They are different. Matcha contains caffeine, usually less per cup than a strong coffee, and some people find it gentler. Individual responses vary, so go by how you feel and your total daily caffeine.

How much matcha powder should I use?

The Kintra listing suggests about 1 g (roughly half a teaspoon) per cup. Latte blends vary, so follow the label.

Can I drink matcha every day?

Many people do. Keep your total caffeine in mind and check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or on medication.

Can I use matcha in smoothies and baking?

Yes. Everyday or culinary matcha is well suited to smoothies, baking and iced lattes, so you do not need to use the most expensive tin.

How should I store matcha?

Keep the tin sealed in a cool, dark place, away from heat and light, to help keep the colour and flavour from fading.
