What’s the Difference Between Matcha Studio M-001 and M-002?

At Matcha Studio, we created our matcha powders with different daily rituals in mind. Whether you love a smooth traditional matcha or a bold iced latte, choosing the right matcha can completely change your experience at home.

Our two Matcha powders, M-001 and M-002, are both designed for high-quality homemade matcha, but they each have their own personality, flavour profile and best use.

So, what’s the difference?

M-001: Smooth, delicate and perfect for traditional matcha

M-001 is our highest premium matcha powder, created for those who enjoy a smoother and more delicate matcha experience.

It is ideal if you like your matcha with water, lightly sweetened, or as a softer, more refined latte. M-001 has a fresh green flavour with a smoother finish, making it a great choice for people who enjoy the natural taste of matcha without it feeling too strong or overpowering.

If you are someone who likes to slow down and enjoy the ritual of making matcha, M-001 is a beautiful choice. It works especially well when whisked with water and enjoyed simply, allowing the flavour of the matcha to come through.

Best for:

Traditional matcha
Smooth matcha lattes
Unsweetened or lightly sweetened drinks
A softer, more delicate flavour
Everyday matcha rituals

M-002: Bold, rich and made for matcha lattes

M-002 was created with matcha lattes in mind.

When matcha is mixed with milk, the flavour can sometimes become too soft or get lost. M-002 has a bolder taste, which helps it stand out beautifully in iced or hot matcha lattes.

It has a stronger matcha flavour with earthy and grassy notes, making it perfect for people who enjoy a café-style matcha latte at home. If you like your matcha with milk, a little sweetness, or flavoured syrups, M-002 is designed to hold its own.

This is the matcha we would recommend if you want a drink that feels rich, creamy and full of flavour.

Best for:

Iced matcha lattes
Hot matcha lattes
Milk-based drinks
Sweetened matcha recipes
A stronger, bolder matcha taste

Which one should you choose?

If you enjoy traditional matcha, lighter drinks, or you prefer a smoother flavour, M-001 is the best choice for you.

If you mostly drink matcha lattes, especially iced lattes with milk and sweetness, M-002 will give you a stronger and more noticeable matcha flavour.

You can also choose both if you like switching between different matcha moods. M-001 is perfect for slower, softer rituals, while M-002 is ideal for your everyday latte moment.

Quick comparison

M-001 is smooth, delicate and refined. It is best for traditional matcha, lighter lattes and anyone who enjoys a softer matcha flavour.

M-002 is bold, rich and stronger in taste. It is best for iced lattes, hot lattes and anyone who wants their matcha to shine through milk.

There is no right or wrong choice — it simply depends on how you like to enjoy your matcha.

At Matcha Studio, our goal is to help you create beautiful matcha moments at home. Whether you choose the smooth ritual of M-001 or the bold latte-friendly flavour of M-002, both are designed to make your homemade matcha feel special.
