Description
Matcha is a superhero amongst teas, as it is super concentrated and packed full of goodness. It’s grown under cover for the last two weeks of cultivation to produce lots of chlorophyll and is highly prized in Japan – it’s even used by Buddhist monks before meditation. It’s a popular latte alternative to coffee in the UK as people discover its unique flavour and remarkable qualities.
Unlike traditional tea that is removed after steeping, matcha is made from a powder derived from whole tea leaves, which you consume entirely when drinking. While both green tea and matcha tea come from the same plant, this brewing method instantly translates to a significant increase of antioxidants in each cup.
Our latte mix combines the finest Matcha green tea powder with unrefined coconut nectar and a touch of Madagascan vanilla powder create a delicious alternative latte.
This Barista Blend is designed to be made with your choice of hot milk as a latte or cold milk as a frappe. Either dairy or non-dairy milk work well.
Organic Japanese Matcha green tea
We use organically-grown Japanese Matcha grown in Kagoshima. Kagoshima is on an island called Kyûshû, which is famous for its lush vegetation and untouched nature. The warm, moist climate provides the perfect conditions for the growth phase of the tea. The volcanic island boasts nutrient-rich soils, with the ashes of eleven active volcanoes continuing to provide the valuable minerals that help these precious tea plants to grow. These optimum conditions are responsible for the successful cultivation of tea in Kagoshima for about 700 years. The long history and ongoing optimization processes have made Kagoshima the second-biggest tea prefecture in Japan, offering the perfect conditions for ecological cultivation.
Organic Madagascan vanilla
We add a touch of vanilla to our Matcha Latte to create a milder tasting latte. This delicious vanilla is grown on small family-owned farms in Madagascar – famous for growing the best vanilla in the world – and we purchase it from a UK company owned by a native Madagascan who now imports the product direct from these farmers.
Organic raw crystallised coconut nectar
We use raw, unrefined coconut nectar as the sweetener in our lattes. This unique sugar alternative is made from the sweet nectar of coconut blossom and is nutrient-rich. It also has a lower GI than regular refined white sugar.

Does Matcha taste bitter and grassy?
Pure Matcha can taste bitter and a little ‘grassy’. Our recipe has a little Madagascan Vanilla added to it, which softens the taste of the Matcha and reduces the bitterness, creating an enjoyable, lighter drink.
What does Matcha do for you?
Matcha has numerous benefits. It contains compounds called polyphenols, and catechins in particular, which are known to protect the body against disease. It also contains the amino acid L-theanine, which has benefits for the nervous system.
Is matcha better than coffee?
The caffeine in Matcha is different from the caffeine in coffee. Matcha contains a compound known as L-theanine, which alters the effects of the caffeine and creates a more relaxed alertness. So you don’t get the ‘crash’ or caffeine ‘jitters’ that you do from coffee.

I can’t express how much I love the Matcha blend! It’s perfect hot or cold. It’s so tasty but it just feels like a cup of wellness for your body. I mix it in my mini blender and just add hot water & milk and this works perfectly. I’ve also tried the other blends and was surprised how lovely the beetroot is also.

I have been looking for a good tasting matcha for a long time .
So while in Selfridges shopping one day I saw your matcha and decided to try it .
Well I have to tell you that I am addicted to it and so is my goddaughter too who now orders from you too !
We just love the taste of it , the vanilla takes away that bitter taste that you usually get with some matchas. I did want to order the big packet but you are out of stock but because I can not go without I have ordered the 2 smaller ones .
Continue the good work !

It tastes so good but I can’t figure out how to get rid of the grainy texture.
Sweet Rev Admin –
Hi Beth, Are you adding a little hot water to the powder before adding your hot milk? It sounds as if the coconut nectar isn’t dissolving properly.
Katie –
Beautiful matcha, lovely creamy texture and the flavour is delicious!! It’s a moment of pure bliss drinking this matcha. ?
Sweet Rev Admin –
Thank you so much!
Lauren B –
Underwhelming – matcha for people who don’t like matcha. Expensive considering it’s only 15 servings – better to pay more for pure matcha. Good for anyone who doesn’t want to commit to matcha yet.
Charity (verified owner) –
Tastes amazing! My only problem is how small the amount is compared to the size of the packaging, quite misleading.
Sweet Rev Admin –
Many thanks for your comments and we’re delighted you love our Matcha Latte as much as we do! Regarding the packaging – all our barista blends and wellness coffees are packaged in the same size tub as this is the only viable way for a small company like ours to be able to make the packaging cost viable. However, we are always looking for ways to improve our products and we’ll certainly take your comments into account.

Literally the best thing EVER. This tastes amazing and makes you feel so naturally energised. I’ve now order another of these I can not risk running out, and the beetroot one. Here’s to health bottoms up

I absolutely love the stuff. I’ve tried different matchas hoping to find one I liked as the benefits were so raved about but departed trying all sorts of different flavours , it would only be a few days before the novelty wore off and the earthy flavour of matcha became sickening. I had given up on matcha and gone back to regular breakfast tea when I stumbled across this and figured vanilla makes everything better, I’ll give it a shot.
Wow. I absolutely love it. The taste is incredible. The vanilla tastes genuine, it doesn’t override the natural earthyness of matcha but blends with it to make the taste feel smoother in your mouth than harsh. It’s incredibly fine and blends much better than other matcha I’ve had, too, so no grit!
My one gripe is portion amount. It say 15 cups, but really you don’t get 15 teaspoons. I didn’t exactly measure my spoonfuls out exactly mind, but a semi heaped spoon in a normal mug and it lasted maybe 10 cups? Nonetheless, I’ve ordered the catering pack and will make it a subscription once this pack is through to lower the cost a little. As drinking this is genuinely now the best part of my day (and I’m not that much of a boring person, I promise)
