5 Matcha Mistakes You're Making 

Tips to make silky smooth Matcha all the time.

Are you making these 5 Matcha mistakes?

Using boiling hot water

Water at its boiling point will scorch the Matcha, causing it to taste bitter.


The perfect water temperature is actually below boiling point, about 70-80 degrees Celsius.


Pro tip: boil water as per normal, then add a little room-temperature water to bring the temperature down slightly.

Not using a sieve

As Matcha comes in powdered form, it has a tendency to clump unless sieved. 


Using a mesh sieve allows you to achieve the fine, lump-free powder required for preparing a smooth cup of Matcha. 

Not keeping Matcha in the fridge after opening

After opening, it's best to keep the Matcha refrigerated in an air-tight container

This prevents heat, moisture, and oxygen from deteriorating the Matcha, thus preserving its nutrients and taste for longer.

Pro tip: storing your Matcha properly makes each cup tastes as good as the last.

Stirring Matcha with a spoon

Major no-no.


A spoon not only fails to aerate the Matcha, it also collects the powder into clumps.


Pro tip: use a bamboo whisk to get Matcha smooth and frothy - it only takes about 30s of whisking.

Drinking culinary grade Matcha

Not all Matcha is made the same.


Mass market Matcha in stores is typically 'culinary'grade. 


These are machine-ground, and are often grainy with a bitter aftertaste.


In comparison, good Matcha (typically 'ceremonial' grade) is slow-ground in stone or ceramic mills.


This results in a small particle size, and a silky-smooth mouthfeel.


When drinking Matcha, make sure you pick the right type of Matcha!

As Featured In


Make better Matcha, easier.

We first started out drinking grocery store Matcha, because it was cheaper.


But, grocery store Matcha was bitter and grainy. 


Due to mass commercialisation, grocery store-Matcha has just become the cheapest Matcha available. 


We believe Matcha isn't a commodity where cheapest is the best.


Neither do we believe Matcha is an otherworldly green elixir that should cost an arm and leg.


Instead, we believe in offering Matcha good enough for the everyday.


That's why we offer top-quality Matcha, without breaking the bank. With our easy recipes, beginner-friendly guides, and incredible after-sales support, we'll help you recreate the Matcha you love - at a fraction of the price.

Why Matcha?

How and why we got started

A great-tasting drink - that's actually healthy

It all started out in a 7-11. 


We needed something to quench our thirst, but, our choices were either sugar-filled or unpalatable.


It didn't seem right that these were our only options. 


So we began searching for a great-tasting drink, that was actually healthy


We soon learnt that Matcha was actually one of the most potent superfoods on the planet. And one of the most delicious too.

Perks of making our own Matcha

We used to get Matcha lattes from cafes. But they were expensive due to rental, manpower, etc.


We found making our own Matcha was way cheaper. Our Matcha lattes now cost a fraction of getting it from a cafe. 


It's also more convenient. Now, we no longer waste time queuing. We make our own lattes whenever and where ever we want.


And, we know exactly what's in our latte - milk, sugar, etc. No extra fees for less ice.


We didn't realise how easy it was - until we tried it ourselves.

Over time, we realised it was possible to make cafe-quality Matcha at home - simply by using quality Matcha.


That’s why we're so passionate about sharing this with you. 


By making high-quality, healthy Matcha easy and accessible, we hope you'll experience the same awakening we did, too.


And we want to do this in a way that is honest and environmentally sustainable. So it's not just great for your health, but also for our planet.

Only 3 Easy Steps


Step 1: Sieve Matcha

Sieve Matcha to get rid of Matcha clumps in your drink. Clumps don't taste good.


Step 2: Whisk Matcha

Unlike green tea, real Matcha doesn't dissolve. That's why Matcha is whisked with a Japanese Matcha whisk.


Step 3: Enjoy Matcha

Mix it with milk and sugar, if you want. Then enjoy - that's it. It's that simple!

Our Secret to Great Tasting Matcha

Uji Matcha is cultivated in Uji, Kyoto - the Matcha capital of the world.


As suppliers of Japanese feudal nobility, Uji’s tea farmers have perfected their craft over centuries. 


This, combined with Uji’s enviable geography of fertile soil and sloping hills, makes Uji Matcha sweeter than Matcha from elsewhere.
