Description
Organic Ceremonial-Grade Matcha with Smooth Vanilla Flavour
Make your daily matcha ritual a little smoother with Matcha & CO Organic Vanilla Matcha.
This refined blend combines organic ceremonial-grade matcha tea powder from Uji, Kyoto, Japan, with a delicate vanilla flavour. The result is a softer, subtly sweet-tasting matcha that is particularly suitable for people discovering matcha for the first time or anyone who finds traditional matcha too intense.
Its smooth vanilla profile makes it delicious on its own, but it is especially well suited to creamy matcha lattes, iced matcha drinks, smoothies and desserts.
What Does Vanilla Matcha Taste Like?
Traditional matcha has a distinctive vegetal, slightly earthy and naturally bittersweet character. The addition of vanilla gives this blend a softer, rounder flavour without the need for added sugar.
Expect a smooth combination of:
- Delicate green tea notes
- Mild vegetal character
- Soft vanilla aroma
- Subtle natural sweetness
- Creamy, refined finish
For a sweeter drink, add your preferred sweetener after whisking or combine the matcha with naturally sweet oat, almond or dairy milk.
Ideal for Matcha Beginners
Vanilla Matcha is an approachable choice for anyone who wants to start drinking matcha but prefers a smoother and less intense flavour.
The vanilla complements the natural character of the green tea powder, making it easy to prepare as a morning drink, an afternoon alternative to coffee or a creamy matcha latte.
Matcha naturally contains caffeine. The manufacturer states that this vanilla blend contains approximately two-thirds of the caffeine found in its regular matcha.
How to Prepare Vanilla Matcha
Traditional Vanilla Matcha
- Add 0.5–1 g of Vanilla Matcha to a matcha bowl or cup.
- Add 60 ml of water heated to approximately 80°C.
- Whisk with a bamboo matcha whisk or electric frother until smooth and lightly foamy.
- Add approximately 190 ml of additional water.

Avoid using boiling water, as very hot water may make matcha taste more bitter.
Vanilla Matcha Latte

- Oat milk
- Almond milk
- Coconut milk

- Dairy milk
Iced Vanilla Matcha Latte
Whisk 0.5–1 g of matcha with 60 ml of water. Fill a glass with ice, add approximately 190 ml of cold milk and pour the prepared matcha over the top.
For an attractive layered drink, pour the milk over the ice before slowly adding the matcha.
