In a nutshell: Organic Matcha Aura in a fine powder, smooth and vegetal, perfect as a matcha latte (hot or iced), as a straight drink, or in baking. Preparation: 1 to 2 g, water at 70–80°C (158–176°F), whisked for 15 seconds.
Matcha Aura is our everyday green tea powder, designed for those who love a little indulgence in their routine. A fine texture, a soft green hue, a fresh and vegetal fragrance that promises a smooth, balanced cup with no harsh bitterness.
Selected by Julien Huot, this organic matcha embodies the philosophy of Thés & Traditions: a straightforward, honest product that works just as well in a traditional bowl ritual as it does in a homemade latte. Explore our matcha selection to vary the pleasures through the seasons.
The aromatic profile of Organic Matcha Aura
First impression: a fresh, herbaceous nose with a subtle buttery quality. The finely milled powder releases a soft green fragrance immediately, almost milky, without any pronounced iodine edge.
On the palate, the cup reveals a silky texture and a natural roundness. The top notes evoke freshly cut grass and sweet peas. The mid-palate opens onto balanced vegetal nuances, followed by a gently sweet finish with no aggressive astringency.
It is precisely this smooth, approachable character that makes Matcha Aura an ideal ingredient for an organic matcha latte. Blended with oat, almond, or coconut milk, it holds its vegetal identity while melting into the creaminess of plant-based milk, neither overpowering nor disappearing.
Its defining quality remains the fine, densely colored powder, which dissolves quickly and yields a smooth, lump-free drink. An essential asset for a creamy latte, an airy foam, or a beautifully colored bake.

How to prepare Organic Matcha Aura
The preparation is straightforward, as long as you follow a few simple steps. Measure out 1 to 2 grams of powder per cup (roughly half a heaped teaspoon for a gentle cup, a full teaspoon for something more intense).
Sift the powder directly into the bowl to prevent lumps. Pour in 60 to 80 ml of near-boiling water, cooled to 70–80°C (158–176°F). Temperature is key: too hot, and the water scorches the leaves, bringing out 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 making a concentrated base (1 to 2 g of matcha + 60 ml of water at 75°C/167°F, whisked). Warm 150 to 200 ml of plant-based milk (oat or almond give the creamiest result; coconut adds an exotic touch).
Pour the matcha over the lightly frothed warm 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 concentrated base proportions. Fill a tall glass with ice, add 200 ml of cold plant-based milk, then gently pour the matcha over the top 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 color during cooking and brings a subtle vegetal note to sweet preparations. Try our vanilla matcha to vary your recipes with an indulgent twist.
Storing Matcha Aura
Matcha is a living powder, sensitive to light, air, and moisture. Keep it in its packaging, sealed airtight, 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 enjoy its vibrant color and fresh aromas at their fullest. Beyond that, the powder remains safe to drink but gradually loses its aromatic intensity and bright green color.
