KAGE TIPS ON MATCHA LATTE

The Secret to Coffee Shops’ Best Matcha Lattes

Discover how to craft the perfect matcha latte at home with these tips from Kage Tea. A global favorite for its earthy flavor, creamy texture, and health benefits, matcha latte blends tradition and modern wellness.

1. Choosing Your Matcha:
Opt for a cooking-grade matcha for a strong, bitter flavor that pairs well with milk. Kage Tea’s Ryoku Matcha, made from Fushuun and Sayama Kaori leaves, offers the perfect balance of umami, sweetness, and vegetal aromas for a latte experience.

2. Selecting Your Milk:
Milk impacts both flavor and texture. Plant-based options like oat milk provide natural sweetness and preserve antioxidants, while dairy milk offers creamy richness. Coconut milk introduces a tropical flair, perfect for a lighter latte.

3. Tools of the Trade:
Invest in a bamboo chasen for creamy texture, a chashaku for precise measurement, a sifter to prevent clumping, and a matcha bowl for optimal aeration.

4. Water Matters:
Use filtered water with a pH of 6.8–7.2, heated to 70°C, to enhance matcha’s delicate flavors.
