Matcha brings a distinctive flavour, a vivid green colour and a hands-on preparation ritual to the kitchen. You can keep it traditional or try something new. Here are nine ways to explore OSSU matcha, starting with taste and the kind of drink you enjoy.
1. START WITH A WHISKED BOWL
Whisk matcha powder with water and enjoy the flavour on its own. Our How to Make Matcha guide takes you through sifting, adding water and whisking. A bowl, spoon and whisk make it easy to set out what you need.
2. COMPARE THE TRADITIONAL GRADES
OSSU offers Silver, Golden and Platinum traditional grades in 40g tins. Read the descriptions, choose one that suits the way you like to drink matcha, and explore the differences in flavour and texture for yourself.
3. MAKE A MATCHA LATTE
If you enjoy milk in your tea, try matcha as a latte. Whisk the matcha with water first, then add your preferred milk. The milk you choose and the proportions you use will change the finished drink.
4. TRY IT OVER ICE
An iced matcha is another way to enjoy the same powder. Prepare and whisk the matcha, then use it in your chosen iced drink. Our mango-and-coconut iced latte recipe offers one place to start.
5. EXPLORE FOUR FLAVOURS
Choose Ginger for a warm, aromatic note, Turmeric for earthy spice, Peppermint for a minty cup or Lemongrass for a citrus character. Try a flavour that appeals to you and adjust the preparation to your taste.
6. BRING MATCHA INTO THE KITCHEN
Matcha can also be an ingredient in a recipe. The OSSU recipe collection includes pancakes, a smoothie bowl and frozen yoghurt, with ingredient lists and methods to follow. Try one when you want to explore matcha beyond a drink.
7. FIND YOUR PREPARATION TOOLS
A sieve helps sift the powder before whisking, and a whisk brings matcha and water together. OSSU offers a bamboo whisk, electric whisk, spoon and sieve. Choose the tools that suit the way you want to prepare your matcha.
8. MAKE THE RITUAL YOUR OWN
You might choose a favourite bowl, set out your tools before starting, or take time over the whisking. A tea ritual can be simple and personal. Enjoy the preparation as well as the finished cup.
9. SHARE A CUP
Prepare matcha for a friend and compare the flavours you enjoy. Try different milks, a traditional grade or a flavoured blend. There is no need to choose the same style: part of the pleasure is exploring together.
