PREPARATION
How much matcha should I use per serving?
A typical matchita ritual uses approximately1 g matcha. You can adjust the amount depending on your preferred strength.
Why shouldn’t I use water hotter than 80°C?
We recommend water around 70 to 80°C. Higher temperatures bring out bitter and astringent compounds such as catechins more strongly and can make matcha taste sharper. Slightly cooler water keeps the balance softer, allowing matcha’s natural sweetness and umami to come through more clearly.
Do I need a bamboo whisk or a milk frother?
No. The simplest way is to use a milk frother. It mixes the matcha quickly, creates a wonderful foam and gives a smooth, enjoyable drinking experience. A bamboo whisk is the more traditional method and creates a finer, more delicate foam.
Can matchita be prepared iced?
Yes. Matcha works hot, iced or cold. Whisk or shake it with water first, then serve over ice or build it into your preferred ritual.
Can I make a matcha latte?
Yes. Prepare the matcha with a small amount of water first, then add your preferred milk or plant-based alternative.
Does matcha dissolve completely in water?
Matcha is finely ground tea leaf rather than a soluble extract. Small particles can naturally settle over time, so simply stir, whisk or shake again.
STORAGE & FRESHNESS
How should I store matchita?
Keep matcha airtight and protected from light, heat and moisture. Always reseal the packaging carefully after use. For best freshness, we recommend storing it cool, and refrigeration can help preserve colour, aroma and taste for longer. Unopened, tightly sealed matcha can also be stored in the freezer. After cold storage, allow the pack to return to room temperature before opening to help prevent condensation.
Should matcha be stored in the fridge?
Refrigeration can help preserve freshness during longer storage. If refrigerated, keep the matcha tightly sealed and avoid condensation when opening it.
Can I store opened matcha at room temperature?
Yes. Opened matcha can be stored at room temperature when kept airtight, cool, dry and away from direct light.
Why does freshness matter with matcha?
Exposure to air, light, heat and moisture can gradually affect matcha’s colour, aroma and taste. Fresh storage helps preserve its vibrant character.
