Matcha #74

Caffeinated

Matcha No. 74 is Portal Tea’s iteration of one of the most well-known (and unique) Japanese teas in the world. Our Matcha is grown on a family farm in Fukuoka prefecture in Southern Japan. The mountainous terrain offers morning and evening fog which protects the tea leaves from the harsh sunlight.

This fine powder produces an incredible vegetal, herbaceous flavor with unmistakably “green” notes similar to fresh grass or bamboo; it’s fresh, bright, and almost savory when served plain, offering a more subdued herbaceousness if sweetened.

Perhaps what makes Matcha No. 74 such an incredibly diverse tea is its preparation; a slight change in your preparation can produce foamy, rich matcha lattes or thin, easy-drinking iced teas alike. For those who prefer dairy-free alternatives, the vegetal flavor of the matcha makes it a perfect mate for options like oat milk.

Ultimately, Matcha No. 74 is a wonderfully versatile green tea with limitless options; it pairs perfectly with savory meals, acts as the ideal contemplative partner to creative afternoons, and offers an indulgently rich option for those who love mid-afternoon iced lattes.
