Frequently Asked Questions About Matcha espresso
What is matcha espresso?
Matcha espresso combines matcha, powdered green tea, with a shot of espresso. It is often served in layers, sometimes with milk, so the drink brings together matcha’s grassy notes and coffee’s roasted flavour.
How do you make matcha espresso at home?
Whisk matcha with a little hot water until smooth, then pour in freshly brewed espresso. For an iced version, add ice and milk or water to a glass first; pour the espresso gently over the matcha for visible layers.
Does matcha espresso contain coffee?
Yes. Matcha espresso includes espresso coffee as well as matcha, which is powdered green tea. If you want a drink without coffee, order matcha on its own rather than matcha espresso.
Does matcha espresso have more caffeine than coffee?
It can: matcha espresso gets caffeine from both the espresso and the matcha. The actual amount varies with the coffee shot and the quantity of matcha used, so recipes and café servings can differ.
What does matcha espresso taste like?
Matcha espresso tastes earthy and slightly grassy, with a roasted, sometimes bitter coffee finish. Milk can soften the contrast, while sweeteners make the drink sweeter without removing the distinct matcha and espresso flavours.
Can you make matcha espresso without milk?
Yes, matcha espresso can be served without milk. Many versions include dairy or plant milk to mellow the strong flavours, but whisked matcha and espresso are enough to make the drink.
Is matcha espresso the same as dirty matcha?
Usually, yes: dirty matcha commonly means matcha with espresso poured into it, often served over milk and ice. Café recipes vary, so a drink called matcha espresso may be served with or without milk.
Can matcha espresso be served hot and iced?
Yes, matcha espresso works as either a hot or iced drink. For an iced version, dissolve the matcha in hot water first, then add cold milk or water and ice before pouring in the espresso.
Should you add espresso or matcha first in matcha espresso?
For distinct layers, add the prepared matcha to the glass first and slowly pour espresso over it. If you plan to stir the drink, the order is mostly a presentation choice rather than a requirement.
Can you make matcha espresso ahead of time?
It is best made fresh, since the matcha can settle and the layers separate as the drink sits. If you prepare it ahead, keep it covered in the refrigerator and stir it before drinking.

What is Matcha espresso?
Matcha espresso brings together finely ground Japanese green tea and a shot of espresso. The matcha is whisked with a little water, then topped with espresso; some versions add milk, and it can be served hot or over ice. It is a modern café combination rather than a traditional drink from either Japan or Italy.
Across English-speaking café menus, you may find it as a milky latte or served with the tea and coffee layers distinct. Its flavour is grassy and gently bitter, balanced by espresso’s roasted notes. It contains caffeine, while its listed calories are modest for a drink of this size when made simply. For a lighter cup, skip sweet syrups and choose your preferred unsweetened milk—or leave the milk out altogether.
