Japanese Matcha Tea Powder
Organic Matcha Tea Powder 100g is a premium finely milled green tea powder made from specially grown tea leaves, offering a vibrant green colour, smooth texture and naturally fresh, grassy flavour with gentle umami notes. Unlike traditional green tea, where the leaves are infused and discarded, matcha is whisked directly into liquid, meaning you enjoy the whole leaf and its full flavour.
One of the fastest-growing ingredients in cafés and home kitchens alike, matcha has become a favourite for everything from traditional Japanese tea ceremonies to modern matcha lattes, iced drinks, smoothies and baking. Its distinctive flavour pairs beautifully with milk, oat drinks, white chocolate, vanilla, honey and citrus, while its striking natural colour makes it equally popular in cakes, cookies, cheesecakes, pancakes and desserts. Whether you're preparing a ceremonial-style matcha tea or creating trending café drinks, this organic matcha powder delivers authentic flavour and a smooth finish.
At i4C, we've seen matcha become one of the biggest food and drink trends in recent years, and it's easy to understand why. A good quality matcha is incredibly versatile, whether you're whisking a morning latte, blending it into smoothies or using it to add both flavour and colour to baking. It's one of those ingredients that continues to inspire new recipes long after the first cup.

What is the difference between ceremonial grade and culinary grade matcha?
Ceremonial grade matcha is traditionally intended for drinking on its own, offering a naturally smoother, sweeter flavour. Culinary grade matcha has a slightly bolder taste that stands up well in lattes, smoothies, baking and desserts. Both are made from finely ground green tea leaves, but they're suited to different uses.
Why has matcha become so popular?
Matcha has grown rapidly in popularity thanks to its distinctive flavour, vibrant green colour and versatility. It's now widely used in cafés for matcha lattes and iced drinks, while bakers and dessert makers enjoy using it to create visually striking cakes, cookies and pastries. Its strong social media presence has also made it one of the most recognisable ingredients in modern food and drink trends.
How do you make a smooth matcha without lumps?
For the best results, sift the matcha powder into a bowl before adding a small amount of hot (not boiling) water. Whisk briskly using a bamboo matcha whisk or small balloon whisk until a light foam forms, then top up with additional water or milk as required. Sifting helps prevent clumps and creates a smoother drink.
