At a glance: an organic chai matcha green tea with notes of spices, cinnamon and cardamom. Brewing: 12–15 g/L at 75–80°C for 2–3 minutes.
Picture a cup where the freshness of a Sencha meets the warming spice of a chai. That is precisely the spirit of our chai matcha green tea, a blend that brings together clean, vegetal brightness and the vibrant energy of spices.
Julien Huot, founder of Thés & Traditions, crafted this organic green tea range as an aromatic bridge: the roundness of Matcha lends a silky texture, while the spices bring the kind of warming character that makes mornings feel alive. Explore our full green tea selection to continue the journey.
The aromatic profile of our Chai Matcha
This blend unfolds a rich, structured aromatic palette in which every ingredient plays its part without overpowering the others. The tasting experience builds in three distinct stages, like a true sensory architecture.
On the opening, the nose immediately catches the lively kick of ginger and the woody warmth of Ceylon cinnamon. These two notes launch the tasting with energy, signalling a brew that stands apart from the ordinary.
In the heart, cardamom, anise and fennel weave a fresh, gently aniseed thread. This is where the chai character comes fully into its own, with that signature spice that evokes the spiced tea rituals of Asia.
On the finish, Sencha and Matcha (5% of the blend) leave behind their vegetal umami and creamy softness. Turmeric, subtle yet present, extends the finish with its earthy roundness and beautiful golden hue.
A touch of clove, used sparingly, gives the whole blend a faintly camphorated signature. The infusion yields a luminous yellow-green liquor, almost amber-gold depending on how much Matcha dissolves into the water.
How to brew Chai Matcha green tea
Brewing this infusion calls for a little care, since the Matcha incorporated into the blend behaves differently from loose leaves alone. Below are our official parameters, calibrated in our workshop.
Quantity: use 12 to 15 grams of leaves per litre of water, roughly one heaped tablespoon for a large 300 ml cup. Since Matcha is already part of the blend, there is no need to add any extra.
Temperature: heat your water to between 75 and 80°C. Water that is too hot will scorch the Sencha and draw out bitterness from the Matcha. If you do not have a temperature-controlled kettle, bring the water to a gentle simmer, then let it rest off the heat for three minutes.
Steeping time: steep for 2 to 3 minutes. Less than that and the spices will not have time to release their full palette; longer and the liquor risks turning too tannic.
For an indulgent latte, steep the blend in a smaller amount of water (150 ml), then add 150 ml of warm milk, dairy or plant-based (oat milk works beautifully). Strain, and sweeten to taste with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup. It makes a wonderful alternative to a classic matcha latte, with an extra dimension of spice.
A wide-filter teapot works best, giving the leaves plenty of room to open up. Try our Kyoto Softness green tea for a more floral, mineral alternative to this spiced blend.
Storing your Chai Matcha
To keep the Sencha fresh and the spices vibrant, store this blend in an airtight tin away from light, moisture and strong odours. A steady room temperature (around 20°C) is ideal; there is no need to refrigerate your tea.
Our packaging is prepared in our own workshop, designed to protect the aromatic integrity of the leaves right up to your first brew. For the best expression of the Matcha, which oxidises more quickly than the other ingredients, enjoy within 18 months of opening.
Frequently asked questions
What is Matcha?
Matcha is a fine powder made by stone-grinding shade-grown green tea leaves, traditionally used in the Japanese tea ceremony. Its creamy texture and pronounced umami make it a prized ingredient; here it accounts for 5% of the blend, adding roundness and a beautiful colour to our chai.
How do you brew a matcha chai?
Use 12 to 15 g per litre and steep for 2 to 3 minutes in water at 75–80°C. For a latte version, steep in 150 ml of water, then add 150 ml of warm milk (oat, almond or dairy) and sweeten to taste with honey or maple syrup.
Where can you buy Matcha?
Look for a specialist tea house that can guarantee the origin, freshness and growing methods of its leaves. Visit our guide to green tea for a deeper look at what makes a great Matcha and a great Sencha.
What are the benefits of Matcha?
Matcha is loved for its unique sensory profile: a deep umami, a gentle vegetal sweetness and an invigorating energy that carries you through the morning. We offer it here as a genuine pleasure, a blend designed to bring a little rhythm to your day.
What recipes can you make with Matcha?
Beyond the classic infusion, this blend lends itself beautifully to hot or iced lattes, spiced smoothies and even baking (financiers, shortbread, cheesecakes). Its chai dimension makes it a versatile ingredient, sitting somewhere between fine tea and artisan spices.
