Tips for Baking with Matcha

Using high-quality Matcha powder is essential for creating baked goods that are rich in flavour and colour. Low-quality Matcha can make your cookies taste bitter. At Taka Tea Garden, we pride ourselves on offering some of the best green tea in Australia, ensuring that your Matcha cookies have the perfect balance of sweetness and umami.

To store your Matcha powder, keep it in an airtight container in the fridge. This will maintain its freshness and vibrant colour for your future baking adventures.
