Matcha Maiden

Discovering Matcha Maiden Matcha and Latte Blends

Matcha Maiden offers several ways to enjoy the distinctive colour and flavour of Japanese matcha. You can keep things traditional with pure green tea powder, make a flavoured café-style latte or try a warming blend with spices and botanical ingredients. Golden Grind turmeric drinks provide another direction entirely, while the bamboo whisk brings a traditional preparation tool into the home kitchen.

What makes Japanese matcha different?

Matcha is a finely ground green tea powder traditionally associated with Japanese tea culture. The tea plants are shade-grown before harvesting, a process that encourages chlorophyll development and influences the leaves’ colour, flavour and composition. After careful processing, the leaves are stone-ground into a very fine powder.

Regular green tea is usually steeped in water before the leaves are removed. With matcha, the powder is whisked into water and the suspended tea leaf particles are consumed as part of the drink. Matcha naturally contains caffeine, L-theanine and catechin antioxidants. Its flavour is often described as grassy or vegetal, with a gentle sweetness and savoury umami character. Strength, temperature, milk and added sweetness can all change how those flavours come through.

Matcha Maiden Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder

The signature Matcha Maiden matcha powder is sourced from Uji in Kyoto and contains one ingredient: pure matcha green tea powder. It carries JAS organic certification. Its vivid green colour and unsweetened flavour work in traditionally whisked tea, hot or iced matcha lattes, smoothies, smoothie bowls, overnight oats, breakfast dishes and baking.

The 28.35g pack is a useful starting size if you’re discovering matcha, drink it occasionally or want to experiment with recipes. The larger 70g pack suits more regular preparation, particularly if matcha lattes and cooking are already part of your week. The same powder can taste quite different depending on how much water or milk you use and whether you add sweetness.

Strawberry and Supergreens Matcha Lattes

Strawberry Matcha Latte 150g offers a fruitier, lightly sweetened alternative to pure matcha. It combines organic matcha with coconut sugar, freeze-dried strawberry powder and natural flavour. Strawberry softens matcha’s earthy, vegetal character, making this blend well suited to hot drinks or iced lattes made with dairy or plant-based milk.

Supergreens Matcha Latte 150g combines organic matcha and coconut sugar with chlorella, spirulina, alfalfa grass, barley grass and wheatgrass. It has a green, earthy flavour and can be prepared as a latte or added to smoothies. Both products are multi-ingredient, sweetened blends, so they offer a different experience from the pure, unsweetened matcha powder.

A warmer, spicier take on matcha

Matcha Fiery Mix Blend 28.35g combines matcha green tea powder with cinnamon, olive leaf powder, Siberian ginseng and cayenne pepper. Its gently spicy, botanical character makes it the most adventurous matcha option in the collection. Enjoy it as a warming drink or experiment with a small amount in smoothies and other preparations where its spice profile can stand out.

Golden Grind turmeric drinks

Golden Grind Turmeric Latte Blend 100g contains organic turmeric, cinnamon, ginger and black pepper. It makes a warming, aromatic golden drink when combined with dairy or plant-based milk. There’s no matcha or coffee in the formulation, making it a naturally caffeine-free alternative within the wider Matcha Maiden collection.

Golden Grind Healthy Turmeric Hot Chocolate Blend 100g takes a sweeter, chocolate-focused approach. It includes organic cacao alongside turmeric, coconut sugar, cinnamon and black pepper. Choose the Turmeric Latte Blend if you prefer unsweetened turmeric and spice, or the Turmeric Hot Chocolate if rich cacao and coconut sugar sound more appealing. Neither product is matcha based.

Whisking and cooking with matcha

The Bamboo Matcha Whisk is designed to disperse fine matcha powder through water while introducing air and creating a delicate foam. It gives you more control than stirring with a spoon and adds a traditional touch to the preparation process.

Beyond drinks, matcha adds green tea flavour and colour to pancakes, bliss balls, cakes, biscuits and desserts. It pairs naturally with vanilla, strawberry, banana, coconut and white chocolate. If you’re also considering other varieties of organic tea, matcha offers a particularly versatile format because the powder can move easily between the cup and the kitchen.
