Focus & Clarity Energizing Daily Balance Slow Mornings

Flavor Profile

Full-bodied and vibrant, with smooth green depth, light umami, gentle astringency, and a creamy finish when whisked well.

Good to Know

Matcha is powdered green tea, so you consume the tea rather than steeping and removing the leaves. It contains caffeine and has a stronger green tea presence than many loose-leaf green teas.

Pairs Well With

Milk, oat milk, vanilla, honey, white chocolate, mochi, shortbread, almond cookies, lemon desserts, smoothies

For Fans Of

matcha lattes, Japanese-style green tea, grassy green teas, café-style matcha drinks, focused morning rituals

Why We Love It

Izu Matcha is made for anyone who loves the rich, concentrated character of powdered green tea — whether you prefer a traditional bowl of matcha, an iced matcha, or a creamy latte.

Because matcha is whisked into water rather than steeped and removed, the cup has more body than a traditional infused green tea. It is smooth, green, and satisfying, with enough depth for a simple cup and enough versatility for lattes, smoothies, and recipes.

Matcha can feel fussy at first, but it does not have to be. A bamboo matcha whisk is the traditional tool and does the best job creating a fine, even froth. A small kitchen whisk can work too, especially in a pinch, though it may take a little more effort and may not create quite the same foam. For the easiest everyday method, a handheld milk frother works beautifully — it is quick, low-stress, and a favorite recommendation in our shop.

We love Izu Matcha as a daily ritual tea: a little more intentional than tossing a tea bag in a mug, but still simple enough for real life. Whisk it with hot water for a classic cup, shake it with cold water for iced matcha, or add milk and vanilla for a café-style latte at home.

Brewing Notes

  • Sift the matcha into a bowl, mug, or small pitcher to help prevent clumps in your cup.
  • Don't add all of the water at once. Add a splash of water and whisk into a smooth paste, then add the rest of your water and whisk until frothy.
  • For the best froth, use a bamboo matcha whisk and move it quickly in a loose “M” or “W” motion rather than stirring in circles.
  • A small kitchen whisk can work, but a handheld milk frother is the easiest shortcut for a smooth, foamy cup.
  • For an iced matcha, whisk or froth with a small amount of water first, then pour over ice and add cold water or milk.
  • For a latte, use less water and top with steamed or iced milk.
  • Do not steep and strain; matcha is meant to be whisked into the drink.

Caffeine Rating

Our caffeine ratings are general guides based on a typical 8 oz cup. Because tea is a plant, the exact caffeine in your cup can vary depending on the tea, harvest, leaf size, water temperature, steep time, and how much tea you use. Want the deeper explanation?
