100% ceremonial grade matcha. Single-origin, never blended. No additives, no sugar. It comes in a 40 g jar.

Bitterness usually comes from lower-grade or blended tea, old powder, or water that is too hot. Creative Matcha is ceremonial grade and freshly milled, so it is rich and creamy with zero bitterness when you prepare it with warm, not boiling, water.

Sift ½–1 teaspoon (about 1–2 g) into a bowl. Add 60–80 ml of water at about 75–80 °C, not boiling. Whisk in a quick W or M motion for 15–30 seconds until frothy. Drink it as it is or top it with milk.

A bamboo whisk (chasen) gives the finest foam, but it is not required. An electric milk frother works well, and so does a tightly closed jar that you shake, which is handy for iced drinks.

Whisk ½–1 teaspoon of matcha with about 30 ml of warm water into a smooth paste. Pour in steamed milk for a hot latte, or cold milk over ice for an iced one. Oat, almond and regular milk all work.

A typical 2 g serving has roughly 60–70 mg of caffeine: more than steeped green tea and a bit less than a cup of coffee. Matcha also contains L-theanine, which many people find makes the lift feel steadier. If you are sensitive to caffeine, skip it late in the day.

Keep the jar tightly closed in a cool, dark, dry place, away from heat, light and strong smells. Reseal it after each use. For the best colour and flavour, enjoy it within a couple of months of opening.
