- 2-3 oz (60-90 ml) hot water (175°F / 80°C)
Equipment:
- Matcha bowl
- Bamboo matcha whisk (chasen)
Instructions:
- Preheat your matcha bowl: Pour hot water into the tea bowl, swirl it around to warm the sides, then discard the water.
- Add 1-1.5 teaspoons of matcha powder to the warmed matcha Chawan.

Classic Matcha Latte Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon Matcha Green Tea Powder
- ¼ cup hot water (160–180°F)
- ¼ cup warmed choice of milk (soy, cashew, coconut, or any milk of choice)
- Optional: sweetener of your choice (to taste)
- Optional: vanilla bean or cinnamon (for added flavor)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Matcha
- Sift the matcha powder into a large mug or ceramic matcha bowl to remove any lumps.
- Add hot water to the matcha. Using a matcha whisk (or a small kitchen whisk), whisk briskly in an up-and-down motion for about 30 seconds until the mixture becomes frothy.
- Add Milk
- Pour warm milk over the frothed matcha tea. Taste and adjust flavors by adding vanilla, cinnamon, sweetener, or additional water or milk as desired.
- Blender Method (Alternative)
- If you don't have a whisk, combine milk, matcha powder, sweetener (e.g., honey or agave nectar), and vanilla in a blender. Cover and blend on high until the mixture is creamy and frothy.
Cold Latte Option
Add the ingredients and a handful of ice to a jar for an iced matcha latte. Cover and shake vigorously until well combined.
Tip for the Perfect Latte
Water Temperature: Keep the water between 160–180°F to avoid a bitter, burnt taste. A good tip is to let your kettle boil and cool for a few minutes before adding it to the matcha powder.
Enjoy your creamy, flavorful Matcha Latte!
Care Instructions
Wash gently with warm water and mild dish soap. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh detergents. Do not place it in the dishwasher or microwave. This will help prevent damage to the glaze or cracking. Allow the bowl to air dry completely before storing.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Our matcha bowls (chawan) are available in two materials: ceramic and glass. The ceramic bowls are crafted using traditional Japanese pottery techniques and are both food-safe and microwave-safe, making them suitable for everyday tea preparation as well as ceremonial-style service. Our glass matcha bowls offer a lighter, contemporary option while still providing the proper shape for whisking and serving matcha.
-
Absolutely. Our ceramic matcha bowls bring together durability and traditional design, making them ideal for high-volume tea service in cafés, tea rooms, or other hospitality settings. Each bowl is shaped for effortless whisking, allowing staff to prepare matcha efficiently without compromising the quality of the tea. The practical design ensures a comfortable grip for both serving and drinking, which is especially important during repeated use throughout the day.
-
Matcha bowls of the same design are consistent in overall shape, size, and aesthetic, ensuring a uniform look for your set. However, because each bowl is handcrafted by skilled artisans using traditional techniques, you may notice slight variations in texture, glaze, or form. These subtle differences are natural and part of what makes handmade ceramic bowls unique; they reflect the individual touch of the artisan and the character of the clay, rather than being the result of machine production.
-
For ceremonial matcha, wide and rounded ceramic bowls are ideal because they allow the tea to be whisked fully, creating a frothy, smooth texture while giving space for proper whisking techniques. For casual or everyday use, bowls with handles, spouts, or slightly smaller sizes can be more convenient, especially if you’re making lattes, smoothies, or serving multiple people.
