Frequently Asked Questions

Is this Barista Matcha something I could use in my bar or café?

Yes, and many professional baristas use our culinary matcha because it’s well-suited for drinks and recipes. Its full-bodied profile stands up to milk and sweeteners while retaining vivid color and balanced umami. If you’re a bartender or looking to recreate the experience at home, explore our recipes for inspiration.

What makes a high-quality culinary matcha?

High-quality culinary matcha should have lively green color, fine texture and enough concentrated tea character to remain distinct in a recipe. Origin, harvest timing, shading and milling affect the final matcha powder that’s produced.

How should I use matcha latte powder?

Using a bamboo chasen, whisk the matcha powder with a small amount of heated water before adding milk. This creates a smooth base, reduces clumps and gives you better control over sweetness and concentration.

How is Barista Matcha different from Teahouse Matcha?

Barista Matcha combines first and second harvests for assertive strength and culinary versatility. Rishi's Teahouse Matcha is a top-grade, first-harvest organic matcha that’s often enjoyed traditionally: whisked with water to make matcha tea and appreciated for its sweeter, creamier umami profile.

    High quality matcha

    My daughter was a barista at a high end coffee shop and grew to love matcha. This is the first one that has lived up to her high expectations of matcha! Its very potent so a little goes a long way. Highly recommend.

    Great matcha taste but expensive

    I love the taste, but it is expensive. I will be switching to another brand because, for me, it is no longer affordable.
