Description
An Exceptional Organic Ceremonial Matcha from Japan
Matcha & CO Reserve Matcha Tea is created for tea lovers looking for an exceptionally smooth, refined and authentic matcha experience.
This premium ceremonial-grade matcha is produced from carefully selected green tea leaves grown in Uji, Kyoto, one of Japan’s most respected tea-producing regions. The leaves are traditionally processed and slowly ground using stone mills to create an exceptionally fine, vibrant green powder.
Unlike ordinary green tea, matcha is consumed as the whole ground tea leaf. This gives it a more concentrated flavour, distinctive colour and rich texture.
Reserve Matcha offers a naturally sweet taste with a pronounced but balanced umami character. Its smooth flavour and low bitterness make it particularly suitable for traditional preparation with water, although it can also be used to prepare premium matcha lattes.
What Makes Reserve Matcha Special?
Matcha & CO Reserve Matcha represents the brand’s most exclusive matcha grade.
The young tea leaves used for this matcha are selected for their colour, aroma, texture and flavour. After harvesting, the leaves are carefully processed before being ground into an ultrafine powder using traditional stone mills.
The result is a matcha with:
- A vibrant jade-green colour
- A very fine and silky texture
- A naturally sweet aroma
- A rich umami flavour
- Low bitterness and astringency
- A smooth, creamy mouthfeel
- Excellent solubility when whisked correctly
Because of its delicate flavour profile, Reserve Matcha is particularly recommended for drinking traditionally rather than primarily using it for baking or strongly flavoured recipes.

How to Prepare Traditional Matcha Tea
For the best result, use a bamboo matcha whisk, also known as a chasen.
You Will Need
- 1 g Reserve Matcha powder
- 60 ml water
- Water temperature of approximately 80°C
- Matcha bowl or wide cup
- Bamboo whisk or electric frother
Preparation Instructions
- Place approximately 1 g of matcha powder into a matcha bowl.
- Add 60 ml of water heated to approximately 80°C.
- Whisk rapidly in a W-shaped movement using a bamboo whisk.
- Continue whisking until the matcha is completely dissolved and a fine layer of foam appears.
- Add approximately 190 ml of additional water for a longer traditional matcha drink.
Avoid using boiling water, as excessively hot water can make the matcha taste more bitter and may overpower its naturally sweet umami flavour.
How to Prepare a Reserve Matcha Latte
Reserve Matcha can also be used to prepare a smooth premium matcha latte.
- Add 1 g of matcha powder to a cup or bowl.
- Pour in approximately 60 ml of water heated to 80°C.
- Whisk until completely dissolved and lightly foamy.
- Add approximately 150–190 ml of warm or cold milk.
- Sweeten only if desired.
It can be combined with dairy milk, oat milk, almond milk, coconut milk or another preferred milk alternative.
For an iced matcha latte, prepare the matcha concentrate first and pour it over ice and cold milk.

People who are sensitive to caffeine should avoid drinking matcha close to bedtime.
