Dirty Matcha | Uji Matcha 8 and Espresso

This iced Dirty Matcha Latte is the perfect morning pick-me-up for coffee and matcha lovers. It’s essentially a matcha latte, made “dirty” with a shot of espresso.

By combining the smooth, earthy flavour of premium matcha with a shot of rich espresso, you get a double dose of energy!

Matchaya uses Brazil/Colombia dark roast beans, tasting notes of toasted nuts, hazelnut and dark chocolate finish. There's also room for flexibility to switch to oat or soy milk to make it vegan!

DIRECTIONS

1. Extract a single espresso shot. Set aside for later.

3. Sieve 5 - 7g of matcha powder

4. Add 70 - 80ml of warm water (70 - 80°C preferred)

This blend is perfect for those looking for something extra caffeinated, delivering the calming focus of matcha alongside the bold pick-me-up of espresso.
