Product information
About
A 40 g tin of everyday Japanese matcha powder made for lattes and baking, not for drinking plain. Whisked with water alone it is bitter and grassy. Buy it if you want matcha to mix into drinks and bakes; if you want a smooth matcha to sip on its own, this is the wrong tin.
宇治抹茶 羽衣 on the front of the tin, with MATCHA HAGOROMO in English: Hagoromo (ha-go-ro-mo) is the name of this grade.
What you're getting
- Which grade: culinary, the grade made for mixing. You may see this tin sold elsewhere as ceremonial grade, the grade made for drinking whisked with water alone; it is not.
- Nothing added: it is pure powdered green tea, not a latte mix, so there is no sugar or milk powder in it. You sweeten it yourself.
- You need a sieve: the powder clumps, and unsifted it makes a gritty latte. A fine kitchen sieve or tea strainer does the job.
- How far a tin goes: a latte takes 2–3 g, so 40 g makes about 13 to 20 lattes, or a few lattes and one batch of cookies.
- Allergens: none. Read the pack's own label before you rely on ours.

Our guide
How to cook with it
- For a hot matcha latte, sift 2–3 g of matcha into a mug through a fine sieve or tea strainer.
- Pour in 70–100 mL of hot water, around 70–80 °C rather than boiling, which makes it more bitter.
- Whisk or froth until no lumps are left.
- Warm 150 mL of milk for 30–40 seconds in the microwave.
- Pour the milk into the mug.
Good to know
- For cakes and cookies, sift in about 5 g of matcha for every 100 g of flour, along with the flour.
- After opening, press the lid on tightly and keep the tin somewhere cool and dark; if you keep it in the fridge, let it come to room temperature before you open it, or moisture forms inside and the powder cakes.
