Crafti Matcha Singapore Review

Overall, Crafti matcha is a good option if you are looking for:

• organic Japanese matcha sourced from artisan farms
• convenient starter kits and matcha accessories
• simple online ordering with Singapore delivery

From my experience, the matcha arrived fresh, with roughly 9 months of shelf life remaining based on the expiry date printed on the packaging.

The packaging was thoughtful — the matcha powder was sealed in foil for freshness, and a reusable tin was included for storage.

Taste-wise, the matcha works well for matcha lattes and is not overly bitter when brewed at the recommended temperature.

Combined with the free starter kit referral promotion, Crafti can be a convenient starting point for beginners exploring matcha at home.

My Crafti Matcha Experience and Tips

Below are some personal observations and tips I picked up from Crafti newsletters and general matcha-brewing guidance.

Matcha Expiry Date

I ordered in November 2023, and the matcha powder I received had an expiry date of August 2024.

Golden Ratio for Matcha Lattes

Shared by Crafti on Instagram:

1. 60ml hot water
2. 3g matcha
3. 60ml milk

How to Store Matcha After Opening

My order arrived with a metallic tin and the matcha powder sealed inside foil packaging. I was unsure whether the powder should be transferred into the tin and emailed Crafti for clarification.

Here is their response:

Thanks for reaching out!

It’s perfectly fine to pour the matcha powder into the metal tin for easier scooping.

We also recommend storing matcha in the refrigerator even unopened due to the tropical weather climate we have in SEA!

Hope this helps! If there’s anything we can assist you with, feel free to reach out to us!

Best,

Why Boiling Water Can Ruin Matcha

The following tip was shared by Crafti in a newsletter:

Matcha is delicate, and using water that is too hot can make it bitter and unpleasant. The ideal temperature for matcha is between 60–80°C.

A quick method is to boil your water and then let it cool for a minute or two, or add a small amount of cold water to bring it down to the right temperature.

An even simpler option is to use an instant boil water dispenser that allows you to set a specific temperature. The one I use at home is the Toyomi 4.5L Instant Boil Filtered Water Dispenser from Hipvan. You can also check out our HipVan referral post.

How Much Matcha to Use

The following guideline was shared by Crafti in a newsletter:

• Matcha latte: 3–4 grams per 120ml of latte
• Pure matcha: 2 grams per 160ml of water

Is Greener Matcha Always Better?

Some brands artificially enhance colour. Authentic ceremonial-grade matcha should be naturally vibrant, smooth, and not overly bitter.
