Which matcha grade should you test?
In production
Matcha for ice cream, gelato and soft serve
- Ice cream and gelato: compare the tea flavour, the sweetness and the colour of the scoop at serving temperature.
- Soft serve: trial the matcha in your base and machine, checking dispersion, consistency and flavour through service.
- Plant-based desserts: test against your own base, as each has its own flavour and texture.
- Sauces, coatings and layers: run a separate trial where matcha plays a different role.
Run a trial you can scale
- Compare grades in the same base and process.
- Weigh the matcha and record the amount per kilogram of mix.
- Judge flavour, colour and texture after freezing and at serving temperature.
- Check the result over your storage and service period.
- Record saleable yield and matcha cost per portion before scaling up.

FAQ
Questions from ice cream and gelato makers
Is this an ice cream or soft-serve premix?
No. We supply pure matcha powder for your own base or recipe. It isn't a complete ice cream mix.
Can I use it in a dairy-free recipe?
Our matcha contains only green tea. Check the current specification alongside your other ingredients and production arrangements when you develop the finished product.
How much matcha should I add to my base?
There's no universal amount: it depends on the grade, the base, the sweetness and the flavour you want. Use measured trials and compare the frozen result before fixing your recipe.
Can I try more than one grade?
Yes. Open a free trade account to order 30g samples of our ceremonial and premium matcha, £10 each: what you spend comes back as credit on your next order. How samples work. For culinary matcha, tell us about your dessert.
