Why You Should Avoid Milk in Your Matcha

Japan's most exceptional matcha is best enjoyed on its own -- no milks, no sweeteners.

Why?

Because good matcha is delicate; it gets easily overwhelmed by anything that’s added to it except water. The good news is that it tastes incredible on its own when the matcha is of exceptional quality. 

Health benefits of drinking matcha straight up aside, an incredible flavor experience  opens up once you get used to drinking it with water only. Your palate does a reset, and appreciates without adding anything. You'll begin to notice wonderfully creamy textures and vegetal sweet profiles that you won't find in a latte. 

Preserve the Unique Flavor of Premium Matcha

High-quality matcha is distinguished by its delicate, complex aroma and taste. Adding milk or fats or sweeteners can mask these subtle flavors and aromas, making even the rarest matcha taste muted and faded. For an authentic matcha experience and to appreciate the full spectrum of its surreally great natural flavors, drink your matcha prepared with water.

Protect Matcha’s Powerful Health Benefits

Many people choose matcha for its renowned superfood qualities. Matcha is rich in polyphenols, which are potent antioxidants that help protect your body from disease and support overall health. However, scientific research has shown that casein, a protein found in cow’s milk, binds to polyphenols and inhibits their absorption. When you add milk to matcha, you lose much of the value that makes matcha special; key nutrients are essentially neutralized and pass through your system unused.

Polyphenols Support Gut Health and Disease Prevention

Polyphenols in matcha do more than fight disease—they help promote a beneficial balance of gut bacteria, which plays a crucial role in digestion, weight management, immune support, and chronic disease prevention. There's a large body of research that concludes that polyphenols play a significant role in preventing and reducing the progression of many diseases, including diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. To unlock the maximum health benefits from matcha, avoid combining it with dairy or casein-rich products.

The Solution: Drink Higher Quality Matcha

When you choose hyperpremium matcha, its natural sweetness and richness are enough on their own—no milk or sweeteners required. 

The key is to drink better matcha. You won't even miss the milk.

The reason 99+% of cafes only offer matcha lattes? Because the milk and sweeteners mask the low quality of the matcha they're using.  Everything tastes good as a milkshake!
