Description
Organic Japanese Matcha Made for Cooking and Baking
Matcha & CO Organic Culinary Matcha Powder is a versatile Japanese green tea powder developed especially for recipes, drinks and everyday kitchen creations.
The matcha is sourced from Uji in Kyoto, one of Japan’s most respected tea-growing regions. The tea leaves are carefully ground into a fine powder, allowing you to use the entire leaf in your recipe rather than preparing a traditional strained tea infusion.
Culinary matcha has a more pronounced flavour than delicate ceremonial matcha. This makes it particularly suitable for recipes containing milk, fruit, chocolate, flour or other ingredients that could otherwise overpower the taste of the tea.
What Does Culinary Matcha Taste Like?
This organic culinary matcha has a characteristic green tea flavour with vegetal, earthy and gently bitter notes. Its full-bodied taste works especially well when balanced with creamy, sweet or fruity ingredients.
It adds a natural green colour and recognisable matcha flavour to both hot and cold recipes.

- Matcha lattes

How to Make a Matcha Latte
For one matcha latte:
- Add approximately 1–2 teaspoons of culinary matcha to a bowl or cup.
- Pour in 50–60 ml of warm water.
- Whisk until the matcha is smooth and free from lumps.
- Add approximately 180–200 ml of warm or cold milk.
- Sweeten to taste if desired.
For the smoothest result, sift the powder before whisking.
The matcha can be combined with dairy milk or plant-based alternatives such as oat, almond, coconut or soy drinks.
How to Use Matcha in Baking
For cakes, biscuits, muffins and similar recipes, start with approximately 1–2 teaspoons of matcha for every 100 g of flour.
Mix the matcha thoroughly with the other dry ingredients before adding liquids. This helps distribute the powder evenly and reduces the possibility of small matcha lumps in the finished recipe.
The amount can be adjusted depending on the intensity of colour and flavour you prefer.
Culinary Matcha vs Ceremonial Matcha
Ceremonial matcha is designed primarily for drinking with water and usually has a more delicate, naturally sweet and refined flavour.
Culinary matcha has a stronger flavour that remains noticeable when mixed with milk, flour, chocolate, fruit and other ingredients. It is therefore the more practical and economical choice for lattes, smoothies, desserts and baking.
