Matcha Latte

Description

Casa Eguía Matcha Latte is a powdered drink that combines authentic Japanese matcha green tea with milk, offering a smooth, creamy alternative to traditional coffee. This blend is designed to make a latte easily at home, with fresh green notes, lightly sweet and frothy, ideal for moments of relaxation or as a healthy alternative to coffee. Casa Eguía are coffee roasters from Tolosa (Gipuzkoa) who specialise in quality products, importing teas and making artisan blends with an emphasis on sustainability and tradition.

According to its official website, the product stands out for its careful preparation with selected ingredients, keeping the distinctive flavour of authentic matcha. It is part of their latte range, which includes options such as Chai Latte or Turmeric Latte, focused on comforting drinks with health benefits (matcha is rich in antioxidants).

Ingredients and Preparation

Although the product page does not give the full list in the available extract, based on similar descriptions of their lattes and comparable products (such as the Chai Latte), the typical composition includes:

• Japanese matcha tea (quality extract).
• Whole milk powder.
• Sugar (or a natural sweetener such as coconut sugar in organic variants).
• Possible additives for creaminess and aroma.

To prepare it:

1. Dissolve 2-3 tablespoons of the mix in 200 ml of hot water or milk (you can use plant-based milk for a vegan version).
2. Stir well until frothy; optionally, whisk with a milk frother for extra creaminess.
3. Serve hot, or cold over ice for an iced matcha latte.

It is soluble and does not need infusing, which makes it suitable for daily use. Casa Eguía recommends storing it in a cool, dry place and using it within 4-6 weeks of opening to keep it fresh.
