Matcha latte at Café Mia in Bushwick — ceremonial-grade, whisked fresh
Matcha

Matcha Latte

$5.50

Ceremonial-grade matcha whisked fresh, combined with steamed milk (hot) or cold milk over ice.

Our matcha latte is the drink we're most known for. Ceremonial-grade matcha only (never culinary), 4g per drink (double the industry standard 2g), sifted and whisked fresh in every glass with a bamboo chasen. Hot or iced, oat-almond-coconut-whole milk your choice, no plant-milk surcharge.

Hot vs Iced

About 70% of matcha lattes we sell are iced. Iced highlights the natural sweetness of the tea (cold mutes bitterness). Hot brings out the savory, umami umami. Both use the same ceremonial-grade matcha and the same 4g dose, the difference is temperature and technique. First-time visitors: try the iced with oat milk.

How we make it

Sift 4g ceremonial-grade matcha through a fine mesh (skip this and you'll get clumps). Add 2oz of water at 175°F (not boiling, boiling scalds matcha). Whisk with a chasen in W-strokes for 25 seconds until a stiff foam forms. Pour over ice or combine with steamed milk. 90 seconds per drink.

Nutrition and caffeine

Around 70mg of caffeine, about half a cup of drip coffee. Matcha also contains L-theanine, an amino acid that pairs with caffeine to produce calm alertness (no jitter, no crash). One 12oz matcha latte with oat milk is about 140 calories.

Milk options

Whole milk (rich, traditional), oat milk (most popular for iced), almond milk (lightest, lets matcha lead), coconut milk (polarizing but great in warm months). Plant milks are always free, no upcharge.

Frequently Asked

How much is a matcha latte at Café Mia?

$5.50 for a standard hot or iced matcha latte. That includes any plant milk substitution, no upcharge for oat, almond, or coconut. Add $2 for a double-strength shot (8g of matcha instead of 4g).

Do you use ceremonial-grade matcha?

Yes, every matcha drink we serve uses ceremonial-grade matcha, sourced from Japanese producers and sifted fresh per drink. We don't stock culinary-grade at all. The color, sweetness, and smoothness show up in every cup.

Can I order a matcha latte for delivery?

Yes, via GrubHub or DoorDash to most of Brooklyn (Bushwick, Williamsburg, Bed-Stuy, Ridgewood, Greenpoint). Iced matcha travels especially well; hot matcha holds heat in our insulated cups for about 20 minutes.

What's the difference between your matcha latte and a chain's?

We use ceremonial-grade matcha (not culinary), dose 4g per drink (chains use 2g or pre-mixed concentrate), whisk fresh per order (chains dispense from a squeeze bottle), and don't upcharge for plant milk. The flavor difference is substantial.

What size is a matcha latte?

12oz standard. We also offer 16oz for +$0.75 if you want more milk. For maximum matcha flavor, the 12oz is our recommendation, the drink stays balanced.
