A matcha latte mix is matcha that has already been sweetened, and sometimes blended with milk powder, so you only add water or milk. It is how most coffee chains make their matcha lattes, and it is the fastest way to make one at home. The trade-off is sugar and less matcha per spoonful than plain powder. This guide compares six mixes on Amazon by what they are sweetened with, how big the bag is and what each is best for.
Want to control the sugar? Plain matcha plus your own sweetener gives you more matcha flavour for the money. See our best matcha for lattes guide.

Made with matcha from Jade Leaf's partner farms in Uji and Kagoshima and organic cane sugar, according to the listing, which also describes it as lightly sweet rather than syrupy and sift-free. The 150g pouch is pitched as about three to four weeks of daily lattes, a sensible size to try before committing to a large bag.
Just two ingredients, organic matcha and organic sugar, with about 10 servings per pouch and 20–40 mg of caffeine per serving according to the listing. Mix with hot water and milk, or pour over ice.
A blend of matcha and milk powder sweetened with erythritol, so there is no added sugar, according to the listing. Because the milk powder is already in the mix, water alone makes a creamy drink, which is handy at the office.
A large bag of sweetened green tea powder from Ito En, the Japanese tea company. Good for households that make matcha lattes or smoothies every day.
Matcha Love is Ito En's matcha brand, and this 8 oz pouch sits between a trial size and a bulk bag. Use it for lattes and smoothies.
A 1kg bag that the listing says was originally popular with food service and juice chains. For heavy home use or a small café; once opened, keep it sealed and use it within a few months.
Latte mix vs plain matcha
A latte mix trades flexibility for speed. You cannot make a mix less sweet, and the matcha in most mixes is a latte or culinary grade. Plain matcha lets you choose the grade and the sweetener. If you drink one latte a day and want it fast, a mix makes sense; if you care about matcha flavour, buy plain powder.
How to make a latte with a mix
Add the amount the pack recommends to a little hot water and stir or froth until there are no clumps, then add milk, hot or cold. A handheld frother makes this much easier.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best matcha latte mix?
Jade Leaf's Original Latte Mix is a strong all-rounder, made with organic matcha and cane sugar. TAZO's organic mix has just two ingredients, and Matcha DNA's latte powder has no added sugar.
Is matcha latte mix the same as matcha powder?
No. A latte mix is matcha blended with a sweetener, and sometimes milk powder. Plain matcha powder is only ground green tea. Mixes are faster but sweeter.
What do coffee shops use for matcha lattes?
Many chains use a pre-sweetened matcha blend. That is why a café matcha latte is often sweeter than one made with plain matcha at home.
Is there a sugar-free matcha latte mix?
Matcha DNA's latte powder is sweetened with erythritol and has no added sugar, according to its listing. Plain matcha with a sweetener of your choice is the other option.
