Matcha Set: the introduction to bubble tea
The Bubble Tea Set Matcha Latte contains organic matcha, tapioca pearls, matcha honey and sugar cane straws for 6 servings at CHF 34.90 – around CHF 5.80 per bubble tea, about a third less than in a café. If you already have pearls and straws, you only need the powder.
Preparing matcha – three ways
1. Pure tea
Place 1 teaspoon (approx. 2 g) through a fine sieve into a bowl, pour in 6–10 cl of water at around 75 °C, and whisk until frothy. Never use boiling water – otherwise the matcha will become bitter.
2. Matcha latte
Prepare as above, then add 20–25 cl of warm milk or oat milk. For the cold version, pour the paste over ice and cold milk – step by step in the Iced Matcha Latte Recipe.
3. Matcha bubble tea
Add cooked tapioca pearls to the glass, ice and cold milk on top, and finally the matcha paste – this creates the green-and-white layered effect. Instructions and variations in the Matcha Guide, the basics in the Recipes section.
Storing matcha properly
Airtight, cool and dark. Use it within a few weeks after opening – color and aroma suffer from light and air. If you rarely drink matcha, the set (portioned) is better suited than the 100 g container.

Frequently asked questions about matcha
Where can I buy matcha in Switzerland?
Online at meinbubbletea.ch: organic matcha from Japan in a 100 g container or as a matcha set for 6 servings. Delivery in 1–3 business days, free from CHF 79.
How much matcha do I need per cup?
Around 2 g, about one heaped teaspoon. 100 g is enough for approximately 50 cups.
Is the matcha organic?
Yes, certified organic cultivation from Japan, without additives and without sugar.
How much caffeine does matcha contain?
Less per cup than coffee. The L-theanine in matcha makes the caffeine act more steadily – alert without the crash afterwards.
Is matcha suitable for bubble tea?
Yes – it is mild enough for milk and sweetener and strong enough to stand up against tapioca pearls and ice. The matcha set is the easiest way.
Why does matcha sometimes taste bitter?
Almost always, the water is too hot. Use a maximum of 75–80 °C and sieve the powder before whisking.
