The story
Powdered tea you actually whisk
Matcha is whole green tea leaves ground to a fine powder. Instead of steeping and discarding the leaf, you whisk the powder into water and drink it all. The result is vivid green, full-bodied and gently savoury, quite different from a brewed green tea.
Izu Matcha has a creamy mouthfeel and a grassy, savoury character with clear umami depth. The colour is a proper jade green, the texture smooth when sifted first. It suits a traditional bowl whisked with hot water, but it also holds its own in a latte or poured over ice.
A small bamboo whisk (a chasen) helps, though a milk frother does the job at a pinch. Start with a gram or two, adjust the water temperature if it tastes too bitter, and see where you land. There is no single correct way, just what tastes right to you.

Good questions
Things people ask us in the shop
What does Izu Matcha taste like?
Creamy and savoury with clear umami depth. The colour is a vivid jade green and the texture is smooth. It is gently sweet rather than bitter when prepared with water at 75–80°C.
Does Izu Matcha contain caffeine?
Yes. Matcha naturally contains caffeine.
How much matcha do I need per cup?
Between 1 and 2 grams, which is roughly half to one level teaspoon. A 25g pouch gives you around 12–25 bowls or lattes depending on how strong you like it.
Do I need a bamboo whisk?
A chasen (bamboo whisk) helps, but a small electric milk frother works too. The key is sifting first to break up any lumps, then whisking briskly until frothy.
How should I store Izu Matcha?
Keep the pouch sealed and somewhere cool, dry and dark, away from strong smells like coffee or spices. Once opened, use within a couple of months for the best colour and flavour.

Three useful starting methods
Straight bowl: sift 1–2g into a bowl, add 60–80ml water at 75–80°C and whisk briskly until finely frothy.
Hot latte: whisk 1–2g with 30–50ml water at 75–80°C, then add 200–250ml steamed milk.
Iced: whisk 1–2g with a little cool or room-temperature water, pour over ice and top with cold water or milk.
Taste before sweetening and adjust one thing at a time. Cooler water or a smaller dose can soften bitterness; a little more powder helps the tea hold its character in milk.
Ingredients and caffeine
100% matcha green tea (Camellia sinensis). Matcha naturally contains caffeine.
Keep it fresh
