50g or 200g format for matcha latte fans?

I've noticed that matcha, and especially matcha latte, has become very popular, which is why I'm offering this organic matcha in 50-gram or 200-gram formats at an ultra-competitive price: perfect if you are a matcha latte enthusiast and drink it every day. With this 200-gram package, you won't have to think about buying matcha every month, and above all, you'll save money. 

But if you want to make exceptional matcha lattes that are even more delicious and have an even greener colour, I recommend discovering now our premium organic matcha for lattes.

How is it different from other matcha teas?

Like organic premium matcha, this organic matcha for lattes and culinary grade cooking is the result of a blend by a tea master, with the difference that the tencha tea leaves used are of lower quality than those used for organic premium matcha.

The difference between organic premium matcha tea and organic matcha for lattes and culinary grade matcha is like the difference between a fine wine and a cooking wine. They are two different products for different uses.

In the photo above, we have several harvests of tencha that have been sorted for quality from left to right.

In the top plates, you can view the tencha leaves that have been dried and lightly crushed. And then in the square trays, there has been an additional crushing step, which is the step just before grinding into fine matcha powder.

The left column is less green than the middle and right columns: this is our organic matcha for lattes and culinary grade matcha. Since this matcha is intended to be mixed with other ingredients in a recipe (such as a cake, smoothie, latte, pastry, etc.), it does not need to be as fine and refined as our best matcha, but rather its aroma and flavour should be able to balance with the other ingredients.

A gourmet illustration

We called on Céline to illustrate the label for this organic culinary matcha. The result is this superb illustration, realised from Olivia's recipe for organic raspberry and matcha Charlotte.

You may have noticed that the 50-gram and 200-gram formats do not have the same packaging; only the illustration changes, but the matcha inside is the same.

Whether you use this matcha for its antioxidant properties and health benefits, for its delicate green tea flavor, or for its beautiful green colour, all your recipes will be enhanced. 

Enjoy your tasting 🙇‍♂️
