Original Organic Matcha, the green hero
Best for: Anyone craving a clean, traditional matcha moment, ceremonial-style bowls, dreamy lattes, and matcha smoothies that taste like, well, matcha.
Meet our hero tin. Original Organic Matcha is stone-ground from shade-grown Japanese tea leaves, certified USDA organic, and milled to that ultra-fine, ceremonial-grade particle size that gives matcha its signature smooth, frothy texture. The flavor? Bright, mellow, gently grassy (never bitter), with a soft natural sweetness that lingers. Think soft umami, velvety body, and a foam that looks like a cloud chose to live in your cup.
This is the tin to reach for when you want matcha to taste like itself, no flavor add-ons, no sweetener, just whole-leaf green tea whisked into water. It plays beautifully hot or iced, gets along with every milk on the shelf, and serves as the perfect base for any recipe you'll ever bookmark.
How to drink it: Sift 1 to 2 teaspoons into a bowl, add 2 oz of water at 160 to 175°F, whisk in a quick "M" motion until frothy, then top with 6 to 8 oz of milk for a latte. Sip and settle.
Vanilla Matcha, the one that converts skeptics
Best for: First-timers, anyone who tried plain matcha and decided it was "fine, I guess," and people who order sweetened lattes from cafes on instinct.
Vanilla Matcha is our organic Japanese matcha base with natural vanilla blended in, and it's the flavor most people fall for first. The vanilla softens matcha's earthy edge and adds a warm, pastry-case glow that makes the powder feel familiar even on a first sip. Lightly sweet, never syrupy, so the green tea character still shows up to do its job.
If you've got a friend who insists they "don't like matcha," hand them an iced Vanilla Matcha latte with oat milk and watch them quietly change their mind. It's also our easiest-mode flavor, no extra sweetener, no second-guessing the ratio, just a consistently lovely cup that pours itself into your routine without much fuss.
How to drink it: Whisk 1 tsp Vanilla Matcha with 2 oz hot water until smooth. Pour over ice, top with 6 oz cold oat milk, give it a gentle swirl. No extra sweetener required, the latte does that part for you.
Honey Matcha, naturally sweet, no refined sugar
Best for: No-refined-sugar drinkers, fans of floral and honeyed notes, and anyone who loves a drink that feels a little extra without trying too hard.
Honey Matcha is sweetened with real honey instead of cane sugar or syrup, which gives it a softer, more floral profile than Vanilla, the kind of sweetness that whispers rather than shouts. It's especially magical when frothed, where the foam holds beautifully and turns a regular latte into something genuinely luxurious. A tiny daily luxury, in a glass.
If honey is already your tea move, this flavor saves you a step and produces a more integrated taste than stirring it in at the end. It's also our pick for whipped or dalgona-style drinks, where you froth the matcha into a cloud and spoon it over cold milk and ice. The foam slowly melts in as you sip, transforming the drink as you go. A multi-act experience in a glass.
How to drink it: Whisk 1 tsp Honey Matcha with 2 oz hot water using a frother for at least 30 seconds, until light and cloud-like. Spoon over a glass of iced oat milk and stir as you drink for that layered, evolving texture.
Raspberry Matcha, the fruity standout
Best for: Iced-drink season, fruit lovers, and anyone who wants a matcha that feels like a moment, not just a habit.
Raspberry Matcha is the most distinctive tin in the lineup, an organic matcha base brightened with natural raspberry, producing a powder that's lightly sweet, slightly tart, and absolutely radiant in iced drinks. It's the flavor behind the viral raspberry matcha lemonade trend (and yes, it really is that pretty in the glass), and it's also stunning layered over coconut milk if you want something dessert-adjacent.
This one's more situational than its tinmates, it's not the matcha you reach for at 7am on a Tuesday, but it's the matcha you'll actually look forward to during summer, on weekends, or any time you want a cup that feels like a treat. Pure pink-meets-green sippable joy.
How to drink it: Whisk 1 tsp Raspberry Matcha with 2 oz hot water until smooth. Fill a tall glass with ice, add 4 oz lemonade, then pour the matcha slowly over the back of a spoon for that pink-to-green layered look. Garnish with fresh raspberries. Camera optional, very recommended.
Unique matcha flavors to try if plain matcha hasn't clicked
If plain matcha just hasn't won you over, the issue is usually that unflavored matcha leans grassy and earthy, which is a taste you grow into. Flavored matcha solves this without compromising actual quality. Here's our cheat sheet for picking your fix based on what didn't work the first time:
- "It tasted too grassy or vegetal": Try Vanilla Matcha. The vanilla rounds out the green tea notes like a soft sweater over a t-shirt.
- "It was too bitter": Try Honey Matcha. The natural sweetness covers any sharp edge, and you may also be using water that's too hot, aim for 160 to 175°F.
- "It tasted like dirt": That's not on you, that's old or low-quality matcha. Reach for Original Organic Matcha, ceremonial-grade and freshly stone-ground.
- "It was boring": Try Raspberry Matcha, or build a flavored drink with Vanilla Matcha plus oat milk and a splash of vanilla syrup. Drama, in a glass.
Is flavored matcha actually healthy or just trendy?
Flavored matcha from a quality brand is genuinely healthy, the matcha base brings the same antioxidants, L-theanine, and gentle caffeine as plain matcha. What changes is the sweetener and flavor source. Our flavored tins use natural flavoring and minimal sweetening, so you're getting matcha's benefits without highly processed extras. The trend exists because flavored matcha makes the daily ritual easier to actually keep, and matcha's benefits compound with consistency, not with how serious the flavor is. Calm-energy in a tin you'll reach for every day beats the earnest tin that lives in the back of your cupboard.
Which matcha does Emma Chamberlain drink?
Emma's been publicly associated with the Original Organic Matcha (which she helped develop) and the Vanilla Matcha for everyday iced lattes. She's shared matcha latte recipes using Chamberlain Coffee matcha across her YouTube channel and on the brand's social, and the iced Vanilla Matcha with oat milk shows up often in those moments.
How to choose your first matcha tin in 30 seconds
Three quick questions and you're sorted:
- Want sweetness? Yes, choose Vanilla, Honey, or Raspberry. No, choose Original Organic.
- Hot or iced? If iced lattes are the dream, Vanilla is the easiest yes. If hot ceremonial bowls are calling, Original Organic is the move.
- Adventurous or everyday? Raspberry is the adventure pick. Vanilla and Honey are your daily drivers. Original is the foundation we think everyone should taste at least once.
