  2. 2
    Add warm water

    Use the temperature and amount recommended on the current package or official recipe.

  3. 3
    Whisk smoothly

    Whisk until the powder is dispersed and the surface reaches the texture you like.

    Finish your drink

    Enjoy as tea, dilute with more water, or add milk and ice for a latte.

MATCHA TASTES TOO BITTER?

Check four variables
before changing powders.

Bitterness is partly personal. Use the current package directions as your starting point, then change one variable at a time so you can tell what made the difference.

01

Water temperature

Water temperature changes how a cup tastes. Start with the current package directions rather than guessing.

02

Powder amount

More powder relative to liquid produces a stronger cup. Check the listed amount and adjust gradually to your preference.

03

Freshness and storage

Review the best-by information and current storage directions, then keep the package properly resealed after opening.

04

Taste profile

Different blends taste different. The manufacturer currently describes Superior Blend as balanced and mellow; individual preferences still vary.

TWO EASY DIRECTIONS

Tea or latte?

Start with the same whisked matcha base, then choose the format that fits your taste.

CLEAR, MATCHA-FORWARD

Matcha tea

Whisk matcha with warm water, then adjust with a little more water if you prefer a lighter cup. This format keeps the blend’s taste front and center.

  • Simple ingredient list
  • Easy to adjust by adding water
  • Best when you want to taste the matcha itself

CREAMY AND REFRESHING

Iced matcha latte

Whisk the matcha separately, add milk to a glass with ice, then pour the matcha over the top and stir.

  • Works with the milk you prefer
  • Visually saveable layered drink
  • Sweetener is optional and personal
