How to Make A Matcha Latte
How to Make A Matcha Latte
Making a cup of Matcha has never been easier, especially when using our convenient Matcha Shaker.
- Push 1 teaspoon (approx. 2 grams) of Matcha Powder through a sieve into your cup. NOTE: if you want a stronger flavour we recommending adding up to 2 Teaspoons of Matcha
- Pour in around 30ml of hot water (no hotter than 80 degrees), just enough to cover the Matcha Powder.
- Blend the Matcha and Water by mixing with a Bamboo whisk / Matcha Shaker or Electric Whisk to blend to get a better result)
- Add 100ml milk to the dissolved Matcha & Water Mix
- Add 1 teaspoon of sweetener (we recommend Maple Syrup) to taste (optional)
- Larger serve? Just double the quantity of Matcha to 4 grams (2 metric teaspoons) and 200ml milk. Keep the water at 30ml so it doesn’t dilute.

Health Benefits
Health Benefits
More than just a beautiful drink — matcha is a daily ritual that works for your mind, body, and skin.
Matcha provides
01 — ENERGY
Natural, Sustained Energy
Matcha contains caffeine — but only a third of what's in coffee. The key difference is how it's released. Matcha delivers a slow, steady stream of caffeine into your bloodstream, sustaining you for hours without the sharp spike and crash that coffee causes. No jitters. No cravings. Just clean, lasting energy.
02 — CALM
Calming & Reduces Anxiety
Matcha contains L-theanine, a remarkable amino acid that positively affects alpha brain waves — promoting a state of relaxed alertness and reducing feelings of stress or anxiety. It also increases dopamine and serotonin levels, naturally lifting your mood and helping you feel genuinely good.
03 — FOCUS
Improved Focus & Concentration
The synergy between caffeine and L-theanine in matcha is well-studied — together they improve memory retention, reaction time, and sustained attention. Matcha helps you get into a flow state and stay there, making it the ideal companion for deep work, study, or creative thinking.
04 — DETOX & ANTI-AGEING
Detoxifying & Anti-Ageing
Before harvest, matcha plants are shade-grown to boost chlorophyll — a natural detoxifier that supports liver function and helps flush toxins, heavy metals, and persistent chemicals from the body. Matcha also contains catechins that fight UV damage and pollution, plus vitamins A, C, K and B complex that support skin cell renewal for smoother, more supple skin.
05 — IMMUNITY
Helps Boost Immunity
Matcha is one of the highest natural sources of antioxidants — surpassing blueberries, chia seeds, and other well-known superfoods. It's also the richest natural source of EGCG (Epigallocatechin gallate), a plant catechin that helps your body produce T-cells to fight pathogens and viruses. Read more about matcha and immunity →
06 — METABOLISM
Boosts Metabolism & Aids Weight Loss
EGCG works in tandem with matcha's natural caffeine to stimulate thermogenesis — your body's calorie-burning process. Matcha also helps your body use stored fat as an energy source during exercise, making it a smart addition to any active lifestyle.

- 70g pouches: Home-compostable packaging
HOME COMPOSTABLE PACKAGING:
- Being as eco-friendly as possible is so important to us which is why all of our tea comes in 100% Plastic Free Home Compostable Packaging.
- The triple barrier packaging of our tea pouches are ideal for storing Matcha as it locks in freshness and protects it from exposure to air, heat and light that can make Matcha appear dull and bitter.
- Econic® packaging is made from three compostable films derived from sustainably-produced wood pulp and GM-free corn sources.
- Each film has been certified to the European and American commercial compostability standards (EN 13432 and ASTM4600) and either the European or Australian home compostable standards: OK Compost Home or AS5810.
- You can put your used Econic® bags in your own home compost or worm farm, containing heat, water, oxygen, soil and micro-organisms.
- Compost trials have shown that Econic® bags can break down into small fragments in as little as 16 weeks.
- Tip - cutting the bag down into smaller pieces before putting in your compost allows it to break down quicker. Our labels are also 100% home compostable so you do not need to remove them prior to composting.
