Hacendado Matcha Green Tea Powder — 10 Sticks (15 g)

Hacendado Matcha Green Tea is 100% powdered green tea in 10 handy single-serve sticks of 1.5 g each. Matcha is made by grinding whole green tea leaves into a very fine powder. Instead of steeping the leaves and throwing them away, you drink the whole leaf, which gives matcha its vivid green colour, creamy texture and rich, slightly vegetal taste. Every stick is pre-portioned, so making a perfect cup takes seconds – hot or cold, with water or milk.

What it's for

This matcha is for anyone who wants a natural alternative to coffee, a trendy café-style matcha latte at home, or an easy way to add green tea to drinks, smoothies and recipes. It contains natural caffeine from the tea leaf (about 49 mg per stick), so it makes a great morning or afternoon pick-me-up. The powder dissolves easily and can be whisked with hot water for a traditional-style matcha, blended into a latte, shaken with cold water or milk for an iced matcha, or used in baking, yoghurt bowls and desserts.

How to prepare

Hot: dissolve the contents of 1 stick in a little hot water or milk (around 60 °C – not boiling, to keep the flavour smooth and avoid bitterness). Stir or whisk until smooth, then add water or milk to taste.

Cold: pour the stick into a bottle or shaker with cold water or milk, close it and shake well.

Tip: for a matcha latte, whisk the powder with a splash of hot water into a smooth paste, then top up with warm frothed milk or a plant-based drink. Sweeten with honey or syrup if you like.
