MATCHA CONTAINS CAFFEINE

Our matcha contains approximately 60 - 70mg caffeine per standard 2g serve (the equivalent of a strong cup of black tea, or about half a flat white).

SOMA Ceremonial Matcha
Many Café Matchas
First harvest leaves from Kagoshima, Japan.
Often later harvest leaves from an unspecified origin.
100% ceremonial grade.
May be culinary- or latte-grade.
Shade-grown before harvest, which naturally increases chlorophyll and L-Theanine levels while creating a sweeter, smoother flavour.
Growing methods are often not disclosed.
Stone-ground into an ultra-fine, silky powder.
May be more coarsely ground using synthetic machines, or blended.
Vibrant emerald green, reflecting high chlorophyll levels from careful shade-growing — a hallmark of premium matcha and careful processing.
May be dull green or even olive-coloured due to poorer leaf quality, oxidation, or cheaper bulk processing.
Smooth, creamy, and naturally sweet, with very little bitterness.
Often more bitter or astringent, especially without milk or sweetener.
Higher in naturally occurring L-Theanine, supporting calm, sustained energy.
May contain lower levels of L-Theanine, particularly if made from later harvest leaves.
Pure Japanese matcha. Nothing added.
Some café matcha blends include sugar, flavours, or fillers; some also include powdered forms of other types of tea.

Note: Matcha quality varies between cafés. This comparison reflects what is found in most café matcha drinks where the origin, harvest and grade are not disclosed.

Classic Matcha (Usucha)

  • 2g matcha (approx. 1 tsp)
  • 70–80ml hot water (75–80°C, hot, not boiling)

Method: Sift matcha into a small bowl or saucepan. Add hot water. Whisk vigorously in a "W" motion until smooth, with a dense foam on top. Pour into your favourite cup or mug. Sip slowly and savour.

Matcha Latte (Hot)

  • 2g matcha (approx. 1 tsp)
  • 40ml hot water (75–80°C, hot, not boiling)
  • 150ml steamed milk (dairy or alt)

Method: Whisk matcha with the hot water into a concentrated shot, until no clumps remain. Pour into a cup and top with steamed milk. Alternatively, add all ingredients to a small saucepan, heat slowly then whisk thoroughly. Hot tip: use our Soma Mini Mixer.

Iced Matcha Latte

  • 3g matcha (approx. 1½ tsp)
  • 40ml hot water (75–80°C, hot, not boiling)

  • Ice

Method: Whisk matcha with the hot water into a smooth shot. Fill a glass with ice and cold milk. Pour the shot over the top and stir to combine.

Unlike regular green tea, you consume the entire tea leaf when you drink matcha. This means the quality of the leaf, the harvest, and how it's processed all have a direct impact on flavour, texture and the naturally occurring beneficial compounds in your cup. Premium first-harvest, shade-grown matcha is naturally sweeter, smoother and richer in compounds like L-theanine, without needing sugar or flavourings.
