Tea - in all its varieties - brings warmth, health and a sense of hospitality to the table. The Japanese have known this for centuries and have developed a ritual called Chado-"the Way of Tea"-to celebrate the art of this ancient beverage. Central to this ritual is a very special powdered tea called Matcha. With Café du Jour Green Tea Latte Mix, you have this exceptional tea at your fingertips, for all your moments-whether informal or ceremonial.
Unlike coarse tea leaves meant to be infused into a bag or tea egg, pure Matcha leaves are ground into a fine powder. When this tea powder is whisked into hot water - as is a ritual in Chad - it dissolves completely and you get a healthy cup of tea retaining all the nutrients, antioxidants, fibre and chlorophyll from the original leaves. It's like eating the leaves right off the tree.... only less crunchy!
Since pure Matcha is a bit bitter, we couldn't resist adding some coconut blossom sugar to our mix. Combine one tablespoon of Matcha Latte powder with a cup of hot milk and you have a creamy, sweetened cup of latte with an authentic taste of green tea.

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) of 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 whisk) to vigorously whisk the mixture 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 high in antioxidants, potassium, vitamin A, vitamin C, iron and protein.
However, the powder also contains sugar. It is common knowledge that (too much) sugar is unhealthy. Although the coconut blossom sugar in our Matcha Latte is unrefined, contains natural minerals and has a low glycemic index, it is still sugar.
In short, we believe that a Matcha Latte with our Matcha Latte powder is a responsible sweetener in a healthy and conscious diet.
Additional Ideas: smoothies, cooking and baking with matcha latte!
Our Matcha Latte powder is versatile and perfect for a variety of uses:
- Smoothies: Add a teaspoon of matcha latte powder to your favorite smoothie for a boost of green tea flavor.
- Cooking and baking: Matcha latte powder can be used in pastries such as muffins, pancakes, and even savory dishes. The coconut blossom sugar adds a subtle caramel flavor that goes well with both sweet and savory recipes.
