Calm concentration and sustained energy release

Exceptional grade Japanese matcha with a hint of organic coconut blossom sugar

Matcha is made from pure green tea leaves that have been stone ground into a fine powder. Because of the way its ground, drinking it provides the same health benefits you would get from actually eating a whole green tea leaf!

Matcha has been used for centuries in Japan as a superfood for its powerful antioxidants and amino acids that help boost immunity, energy and concentration.

Our matcha latte mix is a perfect blend of exceptional grade Japanese matcha with just a hint of organic coconut blossom sugar for sweetness. Use it to make your favourite matcha latte, boost your morning smoothie or breakfast bowl or add some colour, flavour and health to your baking.

What our registered dietician says: Matcha is a traditional Japanese beverage that is made from grinding whole green tea leaves, creating a product that is higher in antioxidants and caffeine than conventional green tea. Thanks to its caffeine and l-theanine content, Matcha can help to improve attention, memory and reaction time. The red espresso® Matcha Latte mix is made from Japanese Matcha and coconut sugar which adds a hint of sweetness without the high glycaemic index of cane sugar. It is free of fillers, preservatives and flavourants and can be prepared with non-dairy milk to make it vegan-friendly.

Must try for Green Tea lovers!

I will not lie, this is definitely an acquired taste but if you are a green tea lover, like me, then you have to try this Matcha Latte. It has the bitterness that you expect to get from Matcha but has just enough sweetness to not make you pull a face lol! It also contains caffeine so it is a great alternative to your coffee boost in the morning.

Matcha cappuccino tastes great

I received my matcha a little while ago and had to try the matcha cappuccino. I read hot water and was guessing that it should not be boiling water so waited for my freshly boiled water to cool a little. Unfortunately I couldn't completely mix the powder into the water and had little speckles of the powder floating in my drink after I poured my frothy milk into it. The taste was great. I will try with hotter water next time just to make sure that I get the powder mixed in properly. It has a strong enough taste and subtle sweetness that is just enough for people who opt for sugar free drinks.

A great alternative

This is definitely an acquired taste but I will say that once you do fall in love with it (and you will) it's absolutely awesome. I must also say that its a great alternative to coffee if you're trying to quit as it'll keep you energised without the worrying addiction some might experience.

A unique taste

At first, I was not a fan of Matcha, but now I am totally into it. It has a potent, energising taste to it!

An absolute gem of a product!

I use it in a variety of ways - from my smoothies to baking to lattes. I also take it with me when working on a film set or in theatre. It helps me to steer clear of drinking an unnecessary amount of coffee and keeps me feeling healthy whilst working long hours.
