Wild Foods Ceremonial Matcha Powder is a Japanese matcha made from shade-grown Camellia sinensis leaves. Its fine, stone-ground texture and naturally sweet umami taste suit straight matcha, hot or iced lattes, and smoothies.
What distinguishes this Japanese ceremonial matcha?
The ingredient list contains only 100% matcha tea powder, with no sugars, flavors, fillers, or additives. The leaves are grown in shade in Japan before being stone-ground into a fine, silky powder.

How does Wild Foods matcha taste and look?
This matcha has a bright green color and a naturally sweet, umami-forward flavor. The powder is finely milled, giving it a silky consistency before preparation. When whisked correctly, it develops a frothy, creamy finish. These qualities support both traditional water-based preparation and drinks made with warm or iced milk.
How should the matcha be whisked with water?
Sift 1 teaspoon of matcha into a bowl or cup to break up clumps. Add 2 to 3 oz of hot water at 160 to 175°F (70 to 80°C). The water should be hot but not boiling. Whisk briskly in a zigzag or M-shaped motion until the drink looks frothy and creamy.
The suggested starting amount is 1 teaspoon per day. Buyers who prefer a stronger or lighter drink can choose how much water or milk to use, while keeping the stated matcha amount as the starting point.
Can it be used for lattes smoothies and iced drinks?
For a latte, first whisk the powder with hot water, then add warm or iced milk. For a smoothie, blend the powder directly with the other ingredients. When making an iced drink, dissolve the matcha in warm water before pouring it over ice. This method helps produce a smooth drink without lumps.
