This is an independent guide, not the cafe’s own website. It explains matcha and the two drinks, and says how to visit.
What is matcha?
Matcha is a fine green powder made from shade-grown tea leaves that are steamed, dried and ground, then whisked into water or milk so the whole leaf is drunk. It comes from Japan, where it has long been central to the tea ceremony.
Because the powder is consumed rather than strained out, matcha has a deeper colour and a stronger, more grassy flavour than steeped green tea. Cafes now mix matcha with steamed or cold milk to make a latte, which softens the bitterness.
What matcha drinks does Katiza Café serve?
Katiza Café serves two matcha drinks on its Uber Eats menu: Matcha, and Iced Matcha Latte. The listing for Matcha reads stone-ground matcha with steamed milk, and the iced drink is described as a green tea latte over ice.
| Drink | Description on Uber Eats | Price, read 14 November 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Matcha | Stone-ground matcha with steamed milk | $6.75 |
| Iced Matcha Latte | Green tea latte over ice | $7.25 |
The matcha sits in the tea section of the menu, which Uber Eats labels Caffeine-Free even though some drinks in it, such as black teas, contain caffeine. The label looks like a category quirk rather than a statement about matcha, so ask the cafe about strength if it matters.
What does matcha taste like?
Matcha tastes grassy and slightly bitter with a mild sweetness and a creamy mouthfeel. A good bowl of matcha has a savoury, almost seaweed-like depth that some people call umami.
Mixed into steamed milk, matcha becomes rounder and sweeter, which is why a matcha latte is an easy first order. A very bitter or chalky drink usually points to too much powder, water that was too hot or an older or lower-grade powder.
Matcha vs coffee: what is the difference?
Matcha differs from coffee in the plant, the flavour and the way it is made: matcha is powdered green tea leaf whisked into liquid, while coffee is brewed from roasted seeds. Both contain caffeine.
| Feature | Matcha latte | Latte |
|---|---|---|
| Base | Matcha powder | Espresso |
| Flavour | Grassy, mildly bitter, creamy | Roasted, bitter, rich |
| Preparation | Whisked with milk | Espresso with steamed milk |
| Colour | Green | Brown |
On the Katiza Café menu, the matcha is $6.75 and the latte is $5.25 on Uber Eats, read 14 November 2026. Anyone who dislikes coffee can use the matcha as a way to enjoy a milk-based drink.
How is matcha prepared at home?
Matcha is prepared at home by sifting the powder, adding a little hot water and whisking until frothy, then adding more water or steamed milk. A bamboo whisk (chasen) gives the finest froth, though a small electric frother also works.
- Sift about one to two teaspoons of matcha into a bowl.
- Add a small amount of hot, not boiling, water, roughly 70 to 80 °C.
- Whisk in a zigzag motion until a fine foam forms.
- Top with steamed milk for a latte, or pour over ice and cold milk for the iced version.
- Sweeten only if you like, because matcha is often drunk without sugar.
Water that is too hot makes matcha taste bitter, which is why many recipes ask for water just below the boil.
What should you pair with matcha?
Matcha pairs well with sweet, nutty or buttery items, because the grassy flavour balances sugar. A pistachio cookie is a common pairing, and a plain croissant also works.
At Katiza Café, the Uber Eats menu lists pistachio cookies at $4.75, the signature pistachio cookie at $8.00, a butter croissant at $3.75 and nut and pecan baklava at $5.50, all read 14 November 2026. These are suggestions based on flavour, not a recommendation from the cafe.
What is a matcha latte vs a matcha tea?
A matcha latte is matcha mixed with steamed or cold milk, while matcha tea in its traditional form is the powder whisked with water only. The latte is milder and creamier, and the traditional bowl is stronger and more bitter.
Katiza Café’s hot Matcha is described with steamed milk, so it is a latte in practice. The iced drink uses the word latte in its name. The menu does not list a plain water-based matcha.
When can you visit Katiza Café for matcha?
Katiza Café is at 216 Rue Notre-Dame Ouest, Montréal, QC H2Y 1T3. RestoMontreal lists hours of 9 AM to 5 PM Monday to Thursday and 9 AM to 6 PM Friday to Sunday, and Google Maps showed an opening time of 9:00 AM on 14 November 2026.
Uber Eats shows 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM for orders. Because sources differ, call +1 438-375-1306 before a late trip. The hours and location page lists every source, and the menu page shows the prices as read from Uber Eats.
Which milk and sweetness options are available?
The Katiza Café menu on Uber Eats does not list milk choices or sweetness levels for the matcha, so none can be stated here. Anyone who wants a particular milk, or less sweetness, should ask when ordering.
This is a practical point for the iced drink in particular, because cold milk changes the taste. The cafe’s own staff are the only reliable source for options on the day.
How do you choose a good matcha drink?
A good matcha drink has a bright green colour, a smooth texture without lumps and a flavour that is grassy rather than harsh. Dull, brownish colour or a gritty feel can point to old powder or poor whisking.
Three checks help when ordering at any cafe:
- Look at the colour of the drink: bright green is a good sign.
- Ask whether the matcha is whisked or blended, since whisking usually gives a smoother result.
- Start with the hot or iced latte if you are new to matcha, because milk softens the bitterness.
Katiza Café describes its matcha as stone-ground, which refers to the traditional way the leaf is milled into powder.
