Matcha Latte - Green tea Latte Mix - Café du Jour loose tea


Tea, in all its varieties, brings warmth, health, and a sense of hospitality to the table. For centuries, the Japanese have recognized this and developed a ritual called Chado—"the Way of Tea"—to honour the artistry of this age-old beverage. At the heart of this ritual is a very special powdered tea called Matcha. With Café du Jour Green Tea Latte Mix, this exceptional tea is always within reach for all your occasions, whether casual or celebratory.
Unlike the coarse tea leaves typically infused in a bag or tea egg, pure Matcha leaves are ground into a fine powder. When whisked into hot water—echoing the Chado ritual—it dissolves completely, providing a healthy cup of tea that retains all the nutrients, antioxidants, fibre, and chlorophyll from the original leaves. It's like eating the leaves fresh off the tree... just less crunchy!
Pure Matcha is a bit bitter, so we've added a touch of coconut blossom sugar to our mix. Just combine one tablespoon of Matcha Latte powder with a cup of hot milk to create a creamy, sweetened latte that retains the authentic taste of green tea.
One pack contains 100 grams, enough for about 20 cups.
Recipe for Hot Matcha Latte
Description:
Enjoy a creamy, slightly sweet hot matcha latte that is easy to make at home. Perfect for those looking for a warming drink with a subtle green tea flavor and a hint of coconut blossom sugar.
Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon (about 5 grams) Matcha Latte powder
- 200 ml milk of your choice (cow's milk, unsweetened almond milk, or another plant-based milk)
Preparation Method:
- Heat the milk: Pour 200 ml of milk into a bowl and heat until warm, but not boiling. This can be done on the stove or in the microwave.
- Add matcha: Add 1 teaspoon of Matcha Latte powder to the warm milk. Preferably choose an unsweetened milk variety, as the powder already contains coconut blossom sugar.
- Whisk the mixture: Use a matcha whisk (or regular whisk) to whisk vigorously for 20 seconds. This creates a nice layer of foam and ensures that the matcha dissolves well.
- Taste and adjust: Experiment with the amount of powder for the perfect flavor intensity that suits you.
Serving Tip:
Drink the hot matcha latte immediately and enjoy the rich flavor. Ideal for a moment of relaxation.

Is Matcha Latte healthy?
Matcha is rich in antioxidants, potassium, vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, and protein.
However, the powder also contains sugar. It's well-known that consuming too much sugar isn't healthy. Even though the coconut blossom sugar in our Matcha Latte is unrefined, contains natural minerals, and has a low glycemic index, it remains a form of sugar.
In summary, we believe that a Matcha Latte made with our Matcha Latte powder fits well as a responsible indulgence in a healthy and mindful diet.
