ICHIZEN Uji matcha with an iced matcha latte

Too often, matcha disappears the moment milk is added.

The problem

Matcha should not be a supporting act in a latte.

At home, matcha can lose its flavor and aroma in milk. Adding more powder may only make the drink bitter or chalky. This project began with that frustration.

Our goal is not to build flavor with sugar or additives, but to make a latte in which the matcha itself remains unmistakable.

Selected for milk

What It Means to Select Matcha for Lattes.

Not every matcha works equally well in a latte. We assess flavor, aroma, and color with milk, selecting for a cup designed to keep matcha at the center.

01 / TASTE

Flavor that remains in milk

We prioritize a full matcha profile and measured bitterness that remain clear alongside the sweetness of milk.

02 / COLOR

Green that defines the cup

We look for vivid color that continues to read unmistakably as matcha when paired with white milk.

03 / FINISH

No sugar or flavoring added

The only ingredient is matcha. You choose the milk and sweetness that finish your cup.

Three-step method

A three-step method.

Dissolve the matcha in a little water before adding milk. It makes strength easier to control and the method easier to repeat.

STEP 01

Combine matcha and water

Use 2.5g matcha with 20–30ml water at 70–80°C.

STEP 02

Mix until smooth

Use a whisk, shaker, or spoon. With a spoon, make a smooth paste before thinning it.

STEP 03

Add your milk

Add 150–180ml dairy or plant milk. Use 150ml for a stronger cup or 180ml for a softer one.

Servings and results vary with measurements, milk, tools, and temperature. The method works for hot and iced drinks.

Our challenge

以茶商的视角重新审视拿铁。

京都的茶商历经四代传承,潜心钻研茶叶的外形、香气、茶汤色泽与口感。如今,我们不仅将这份经验运用于传统茶饮,更融入了现代人喜爱的抹茶拿铁之中。

我们并非只是将传统束之高阁,而是不断探索抹茶与牛奶交融后的精髓。让抹茶始终保持主角地位,这便是“一禅”的挑战。

FAQ

Before you back the project.

Does it contain sugar or milk powder?

No. The only ingredient is matcha, so you can choose your preferred milk and sweetness.

Can I make it without a bamboo whisk?

Yes. A shaker or spoon also works. With a spoon, first make a paste with a small amount of water, then gradually thin it to reduce lumps.

Can I make both hot and iced lattes?

Yes. For iced lattes, make the matcha base slightly stronger before pouring it over milk and ice.

How many servings are in one pouch?

Each pouch contains 30g. At the standard 2.5g recipe, it makes about 12 servings. The exact number varies with your preferred strength.

Where can I confirm pricing, rewards, and delivery timing?

Official pricing, reward contents, and delivery timing are published on the Makuake project page.
