UNSWEETENED MATCHA | Barista grade for matcha lattes

Unsweetened Matcha is a premium barista-grade Japanese green tea powder sourced from Nishio, Japan, a region known for producing some of the world’s highest quality matcha. This vibrant, finely stone-ground green tea delivers a bold, smooth flavor and brilliant jade-green color, making it the perfect base for lattes, smoothies, and everyday matcha drinks.

Crafted specifically for versatility, this matcha is ideal for both hot and iced preparations. Its strong, balanced flavor holds up beautifully when mixed with milk or plant-based alternatives, creating rich café-style matcha lattes at home. Whether you prefer a traditional whisked matcha or a creamy blended drink, this powder dissolves smoothly and delivers consistent, high-quality results.

Unlike sweetened matcha blends, Unsweetened Matcha allows you to control your flavor experience completely. Enjoy it pure to appreciate its natural earthy notes, subtle sweetness, and clean vegetal finish, or customize it with your preferred sweetener for a personalized café-style beverage.

Carefully shaded before harvest, the tea leaves develop a deeper green color and naturally enhanced flavor profile. After steaming and drying, they are finely ground into a soft powder that blends easily and produces a smooth, frothy cup.

Ceremonial vs. Unsweetened Matcha (Barista)

Understanding the difference between matcha grades helps you choose the right one for your needs:

Choose Ceremonial Matcha for pure, traditional tea experiences. Opt for Barista-grade Unsweetened Matcha when preparing milk-based drinks or blended recipes.

How to Prepare Matcha

1. Sift ½ tsp of matcha into your matcha bowl with a matcha sifter to remove clumps.

2. Add 2 oz of hot water (just below boiling—around 175°F/80°C).

3. Whisk briskly in a zig-zag (M or W) motion using a bamboo matcha whisk (chasen) until a fine froth forms.

4. Enjoy directly from your matcha bowl for a traditional experience or pour into your favorite cup for lattes or iced drinks.

Using traditional matcha tools like a bamboo whisk, bamboo matcha scoop (chasaku), and ceramic matcha bowl enhance your ritual and make thoughtful gifts for matcha lovers.

Elevate your daily routine with the rich taste, smooth texture, and vibrant energy of Unsweetened Matcha.
