Step 1 - Scoop
Add 1 teaspoon, or about 2g, of matcha into your bowl.

💡Pro tip: Sift your matcha first for a smoother cup with fewer clumps.

Step 2 - Add hot water
Pour in 60–70ml of hot water at 70–80°C (158–176°F). This helps protect the matcha’s delicate aroma and smooth flavour.

Step 3 - Whisk
Whisk quickly in a zig-zag motion, like an M or W shape, for 15–20 seconds until the matcha is fully dissolved and a light foam forms on top.

Step 4 - Enjoy!
Sip and enjoy immediately. Usucha is a traditional thin tea made to highlight the matcha’s natural aroma, umami, and clean finish.

Matcha Origins

Where Every Cup Begins

Good matcha starts long before it reaches your hands. It begins in different parts of Japan where it shapes the colour, aroma, and flavour.

Shizuoka & Kagoshima (静岡・鹿児島)

Long before matcha reaches your morning cup, its character begins taking shape in the tea fields of Japan.

In Shizuoka, tea has been cultivated for centuries across sunlit plains and mountain slopes.

Kagoshima sits farther south, where the warmer climate brings an earlier harvest season and supports a wide range of tea cultivars. Today, both regions are central to Japanese tea production.

This journey is why matcha can taste so different from one tin to another. We hope you enjoy the matcha we've selected for you.

Toronto, Ontario

Finding good matcha should not feel like a guessing game. Too often, shoppers are left choosing between vague labels and inconsistent quality.

Matcha Mornings was created in Toronto. We carefully select matcha based on how people actually enjoy it, whether you want something refined for usucha or bold enough to stand out in a latte.

Each matcha powder includes clear tasting notes and preparation guidance, so you know exactly what you are buying and how to make it taste its best.

Good Morning, Answers

Here's everything you need to know about our matcha.

Our matcha is more expensive because we source high quality Japanese matcha rather than using poor quality matcha and simply labelling it “ceremonial.”

There is no single “best” matcha.

Each region of Japan offers something different, with its own flavour profile, character, and experience.

We focus on sourcing matcha with consistent high quality while giving you the chance to explore the unique qualities each region has to offer.

Not always.

Ceremonial matcha is usually best for usucha (thin tea) and koicha (thick tea).

When we talk about grades, each has their own use case and not about it's quality.

A matcha cultivar is the type of tea plant used to make the matcha. It can affect the flavour, aroma, colour, and texture of the tea.

Some cultivars taste sweeter and smoother, while others may be more earthy, floral, rich, or bold. This is one reason not all matcha tastes the same.

Region, growing method, shading, harvest, and stone-milling all matter too, but the cultivar helps shape the matcha’s natural character from the very beginning.

At Matcha Mornings, we separate latte grade from culinary grade because they are not the same thing.

Latte grade matcha is made for drinks. It has enough body and flavour to hold up beautifully in milk, while still tasting smooth and balanced.

Culinary grade matcha is usually made for baking, cooking, smoothies, or recipes where matcha is mixed with stronger ingredients. It can taste more bitter, earthy, or intense on its own.
