Craft Tea Fox - Have you tried making Matcha?
Do you remember the 2-month circuit breaker period last year - when the cold brew craze hit? As we were all adapting to the new norm of working from home, I remember gifting and receiving cold brews from friends, and myself on a weekly/bi-weekly basis.
For those who need your caffeine fix (without actually the coffee), you’ll be happy to find out that Craft Tea Fox offers cafe-grade lattes — where you can enjoy these lattes the comfort of your homes anytime, any day!
Started out just two years back in 2019, Craft Tea Fox’s primary focus is on tea – Matcha and Hojicha specifically. Their core vision is to inspire a lifestyle sustainable both for our health, and the health of the environment, e.g. with sustainable packaging practices, using less sugar and having plant-based options.
Read on as we unveil some of their signature products they offer to create your own Matcha!
Cold Brew Latte (Matcha/Hojicha)
We all know that cold brew can only be kept for 3-5 days chilled, you’ll be surprised to know that the cold brew lattes at Craft Tea Fox can be kept fresh up till 6 weeks (unsealed)! This allows you to stock up for quite some time. They offer oat milk option here too!
Cold Brew Matcha Latte
Our review: It’s the kind of drink people who love authentic matcha would appreciate it, the milk is not overpowering, super authentic, not too sweet and you can tell it’s not “powdery” so it’s really good! We love it so matcha.
Rating: 5/5
Hojicha Latte
Our review: The tea-to-milk ratio was right! It has a sweet balance which brings out the strong aroma of the Hojicha Latte. It has a smooth, creamy mouthfeel, and after-taste of distinct subtle bitterness! This is my favourite.
Rating: 5/5
Apart from cold brew, Craft Tea Fox also has products meant for hardcore matcha fans!
Perfect for both beginners and Matcha / Hojicha lovers. Easily create your own Matcha or Hojicha Latte - in the comfort of your home or office.
Includes:
1 x handcrafted full-length bamboo whisk,
2 x signature tea tins (20g) of your choice
Craft Tea Fox offers three types of matcha grades, Ceremonial, Barista and Patissier. We tried Ceremonia grade, which is said it’s from tea leaves in the first harvest. It has also the vibrant green colour and very fine texture with a sweet aftertaste! Best enjoyed in its original form without milk & sugar to taste the freshness of Matcha.
The founders takes great pride in selecting their matcha, making sure it’s the best. Their Matcha hails from reputable tea estates in Uji, Japan with extensive experience!
Following the whisk guide on Craft Tea Fox, we had a mini matcha barista experience! With Whisked™, they have merged traditional Matcha preparation methods with modern production processes. Using Whisked™ also allows you to keep a silky-smooth latte in your fridge for up to 6 weeks while tasting as good as a fresh, cafe-grade latte the entire time!
Our process:
Look at that fine matcha powder.
Our review: For matcha lovers, you’re sure to love this. It’s thick and creamy, and it’s not grainy and sweet at all! Smooth and easy to drink. However, we wouldn’t recommend putting too much of the matcha powder! We did and had to add water after.
