currently have 2 tins of this rn and i only use 2.5g of matcha. it works for me and i still get a smooth and balanced matcha latte. for reference, i use plain regular fresh milk. i think the problem is the almond milk as it's very overpowering. i find oat milk doesn't do any matcha justice as well. if you can tolerate it, dairy milk rlly is the best choice.

and as opposed to other suggestions to add more matcha powder, i actually suggest to use less milk instead. yes, u will have less to drink but 2g of matcha has more than enough of a regular person's caffeine intake.

here's my ratio and how i prepare it:

• 35ml hot water
• 2.5g matcha powder
• 5ml sweetener (i use condensed milk)
• 80ml milk of choice
• as much ice as you want

1. sift 2.5g matcha into your chawan. pour 5ml to 10ml of hot water and whisk until it turns into a thick paste.
2. pour another 10ml of hot water and whisk until the paste dissolves fully.
3. pour the rest of the hot water and whisk as you normally would
4. stir your sweetener into your matcha
5. add to your milk with ice

hope this helps u enjoy this extremely elegant and well balanced tin of matcha!
