Good & Proper Tea

Good & Proper Tea Deliciously pure loose leaf teas: carefully selected, lovingly brewed and enthusiastically shared with London

Good & Proper Tea are London-based, premium tea specialists. They source teas from around the world, always looking for something special that will stand up on its own without blending or flavouring, before sharing them with their customers. Having started brewing and serving tea back in 2012 from a 1974 Citroen H van, Good & Proper Tea has now grown to a flagship Tea Bar, an online store and a growing network of cafe and restaurant partners. All are driven by a determination to do tea properly.

Matcha is one of the fastest-growing drinks on coffee shop menus, but for high-volume sites, serving matcha at pace comes with its challenges. Swipe to find out what cafes and coffee shops need to know before batching matcha →

The question we get asked most:

“Can we batch matcha ahead of service?” is one of the most common questions we hear from high volume cafes serving matcha at scale. The short answer: yes, but only with careful handling.

The gold standard:

For any café serving matcha, whisking to order remains our top recommendation and the gold standard for matcha service. It protects the flavour and vivid green colour customers expect, and the visible ritual of whisking matcha adds what we like to call ‘tea theatre’, improving customer perception of quality.

When batching makes sense:

A fresh matcha concentrate batched in-house can speed up service, improve consistency, and ease pressure during busy periods, without relying on ready-made matcha concentrates which usually contain more additives and stabilisers than actual matcha.

The ratio we recommend:

Our recommended ratio for batching matcha is 3g matcha to 30ml water at 80°C, dosed at 30ml matcha concentrate per drink. Sieving and shaking properly are essential to ensuring a top quality end result.

The main watch-outs:

→ Colour: matcha fades when exposed to heat / oxygen.
→ Flavour: matcha’s fresh grassy notes become more bitter, stale or muted over time.
→ Separation: the powder can settle, so the concentrate needs shaking before use.
→ Storage: Must stay cold and be dated
→ Customer perception: customers value a drink more when they can see it being prepared fresh.

To keep your matcha concentrate fresh, keep it cold (ideally in the fridge), use it the same day, and shake before every single serve.
