What Makes Maison Matcha Flavoured Matcha Different?
Not all flavoured matcha is made the same.
At Maison Matcha, our approach is simple: matcha should still taste like matcha. That’s why our flavoured matcha powders are made with 90% ceremonial-grade Uji matcha and just 10% natural flavour, with no added sugar.
Available in Strawberry, Vanilla and Caramel, each flavour has been created to complement the natural taste of matcha rather than cover it up.
So whether you already love matcha or you're looking for an easier way to get into it, you still get the vibrant colour and distinctive flavour of high-quality Japanese matcha, with something a little extra.
Flavoured Matcha That Still Tastes Like Matcha
One of the biggest differences between flavoured matcha products is what is actually inside them.
Some matcha drinks and latte powders contain a combination of matcha, sugar, sweeteners, milk powders or other ingredients, which can make the finished drink taste more like a sweet latte mix than matcha.
Maison Matcha takes a different approach.
Our flavoured range contains:
- 90% ceremonial-grade Uji matcha
- 10% natural flavour
- No added sugar
Matcha remains the main ingredient, so you can still taste the tea itself.
We wanted the flavour to be noticeable enough to make each blend different, while still allowing the matcha to shine through.

TheHypeMenu independently tested all three Maison Matcha flavoured blends as both usucha and iced lattes. Their review highlighted that the 90% matcha / 10% natural flavour ratio allows the matcha flavour to remain present, even when served with milk.
Why We Use Subtle Natural Flavours
Flavouring matcha is all about balance.
Too much flavour and you lose what makes matcha special. Too little and there is hardly any difference from an original matcha.
Our Strawberry, Vanilla and Caramel blends were created to add a subtle flavour to your latte while preserving the characteristic taste and vibrant green colour of the matcha.
Strawberry Matcha
Our Strawberry Matcha is fruity, fresh and subtly sweet.
It's particularly delicious iced and is our go-to for anyone who loves a refreshing matcha latte without needing strawberry syrup.
Vanilla Matcha
Our Vanilla Matcha is smooth, soft and comforting.
The subtle vanilla flavour pairs naturally with the creamy taste of milk, making it an easy everyday matcha whether you prefer your latte hot or iced.
Caramel Matcha
Our Caramel Matcha is richer and more indulgent, while still allowing the flavour of the matcha underneath to come through.
It's perfect when you want something a little more comforting without turning your matcha into an overly sweet drink.
No Added Sugar — So You Control the Sweetness
Another important difference is that Maison Matcha flavoured powders contain no added sugar.
We deliberately leave the sweetness up to you.
Enjoy your matcha exactly as it is, let the natural sweetness of your milk do the work, or add your preferred sweetener if you like a sweeter latte.
This also means you're not buying a premixed matcha latte powder where a large portion of the product may be sugar or other ingredients.
Instead, 90% of every Maison Matcha flavoured blend is matcha.
Matcha First, Flavour Second
When we created our flavoured range, we didn't want to make a product that only appealed to people who disliked the taste of matcha.
We wanted to create flavours for people who genuinely love matcha.
That's why the underlying tea still matters.
Our flavoured blends use ceremonial-grade matcha sourced from Uji, Japan, an area renowned for its long history of producing Japanese green tea.
The added flavour is there to create a different experience, not disguise the matcha underneath.
Are Flavoured Matcha and Matcha Latte Mixes the Same Thing?
Not necessarily.
A flavoured matcha can still have matcha as its primary ingredient, while some matcha latte mixes contain additional ingredients such as sugar, creamer or milk powder.
The easiest way to know what you're getting is to check the ingredient list.
With Maison Matcha, the formulation is simple:
90% ceremonial-grade Uji matcha + 10% natural flavour. No added sugar.
This means you can choose your own milk, control how sweet you want your latte and prepare it hot or iced.
Which Maison Matcha Flavour Should You Choose?
Not sure where to start?
| Matcha | Flavour profile | We recommend it for |

How to Make a Maison Matcha Latte
Our favourite ratio for a smooth and creamy matcha latte is:
3g Maison Matcha
30ml warm water
140ml milk of choice
Sift your matcha, add the warm water and whisk until smooth and frothy.
Pour over milk and ice for an iced latte, or add warmed milk for a cosy hot matcha.
Because our flavoured powders already contain their Strawberry, Vanilla or Caramel flavour, you don't need to add flavoured syrup unless you personally want a sweeter drink.
Is Flavoured Matcha Good for Beginners?
It can be a great place to start.
If you've never tried matcha before, its naturally vegetal and earthy flavour can be unfamiliar at first.
A subtle flavour such as Strawberry or Vanilla can make that first experience more approachable without completely masking the taste of the matcha.
For existing matcha lovers, flavoured matcha is simply another way to change up your daily ritual.
