What matcha latte tastes like

The fact that matcha latte is usually prepared with a larger amount of milk means that many of the tea's subtle flavor nuances cannot be perceived. Therefore it is not advisableto use absolute premium tea for preparation. Entry-level qualities are completely sufficient and can assert themselves better against milk with their predominantly more bitter, nutty character.

Our Matcha Itsutsu is therefore the ideal choice for preparation. Its fruity and fresh character, together with the pronounced nutty note, make it the ideal accompaniment to milk. Properly prepared, the tea is creamy and frothy on its own, but as a matcha latte irresistible.

Finally, our insider tip: try a variation with our premium matcha teas Futatsu and Hitotsu. Prepare the tea traditionally, as described in the link above, but then add one or two tablespoons of milk foam to give the matcha a fine crown. This only minimally changes the taste of the fine tea. However, the milk makes the consistency even creamier and the subtle nuances of flavour are accentuated by the fat in the milk. Simply heavenly.
