Matcha Aura Bio

Matcha Aura is our everyday green tea powder, crafted for those who want a little something special in their daily routine. A fine texture, a soft jade colour, a fresh and vegetal aroma that promises a smooth, balanced cup with no harsh bitterness.

Selected by Julien Huot, this organic matcha carries the spirit of Thés & Traditions: a straightforward, honest product that works equally well in a traditional bowl ritual or a homemade latte. Explore our full matcha range to find the right match for every season.

The flavour profile of Organic Matcha Aura

First impression: a fresh, herbaceous nose with a gentle buttery quality. The very fine powder releases an immediately inviting green scent, almost milky, with no overpowering marine edge.

In the cup, the texture is silky and naturally rounded. The top notes evoke freshly cut grass and sweet pea. The mid-palate opens onto balanced vegetal nuances, followed by a lightly sweet finish with no aggressive astringency.

It is precisely this smooth, approachable character that makes Matcha Aura such a natural fit for an organic matcha latte. Mixed with oat, almond or coconut milk, it holds its vegetal identity while blending seamlessly into the creaminess of plant-based milk, neither dominating nor disappearing.

Its defining quality is its fine-textured powder, rich in colour, which dissolves quickly and produces a smooth, lump-free drink. An essential feature for a creamy latte, a light foam, or a beautifully coloured bake.

How to prepare Organic Matcha Aura

The preparation is straightforward, as long as you follow a few key steps. Measure out 1 to 2 grams of powder per cup (roughly half a heaped teaspoon for a gentle version, a full teaspoon for a stronger cup).

Sift the powder directly into your bowl to avoid lumps. Pour 60 to 80 ml of hot water, cooled to 70–80°C (158–176°F). Temperature matters: water that is too hot will scorch the powder and introduce a dry bitterness.

Whisk vigorously in a zigzag motion for 15 to 20 seconds, using a chasen (bamboo whisk) if possible, until a fine, even foam forms on the surface. The drink is ready to enjoy as is.

For a hot organic matcha latte

Start by preparing the concentrated base (1 to 2 g of matcha + 60 ml of water at 75°C/167°F, whisked). Heat 150 to 200 ml of plant-based milk (oat or almond are the creamiest; coconut adds an exotic note).

Pour the matcha over the gently frothed hot milk. If you like, add a drizzle of maple syrup, though Matcha Aura is balanced enough to enjoy without any added sweetener.

For an iced matcha latte

Use the same proportions for the concentrated base. Fill a tall glass with ice, add 200 ml of cold plant-based milk, then slowly pour the matcha over to create a beautiful two-tone effect. A perfect recipe for warmer days.

You can also use it in baking: financiers, ice cream, homemade granola, cookies. The powder holds its vibrant colour during cooking and adds a subtle vegetal note to sweet preparations. Try our vanilla matcha to bring a more indulgent twist to your recipes.

Storing Matcha Aura

Matcha is a living powder, sensitive to light, air and moisture. Keep it in its resealable packaging, away from light and heat sources, ideally in a dry cupboard or in the refrigerator once opened.

For the best experience, use it within 4 to 6 weeks of opening to fully enjoy its vibrant colour and fresh aromas. After that, the powder remains perfectly safe to use but gradually loses some of its aromatic intensity and bright green hue.
