Matcha is a finely ground powder of processed green tea leaves. It’s commonly used in Japan to color and flavor various foods and drinks, as well as in the traditional Japanese tea ceremony. It tastes, as you’d expect, a bit like green tea, with some more pronounced bitterness and sweetness.

Where Can I Find Matcha Powder?

You’ll find matcha powder in pretty much any Asian grocer or even the Asian aisle of your local grocery store. You can order matcha online. Be sure to get ceremonial grade for the highest quality.

Can I Use Frozen Strawberries?

Although we always recommend using fresh ingredients, frozen strawberries are OK too. If you’re using frozen strawberries for your strawberry matcha latte, be sure to thaw them first, then follow the rest of the instructions as you would with fresh strawberries. Note that frozen berries sometimes have added sugar, so check your packaging to see if you still need to add sugar to your puree.
