Matcha recipes are easiest to repeat in grams. This calculator scales a gram-based recipe to any number of drinks, works out how many drinks a package makes and how long it lasts at your pace, and shows the liquid totals and concentration for a batch. It shows every formula, and nothing you enter leaves your browser.
Enter gram-based values from your current package or recipe. Calculations stay in your browser and every formula is shown.
Recipe batch
2 g × 4 drinks = 8 g matcha
Package yield and cost
30 g ÷ 2 g = 15 whole drinks
What the calculator does not tell you
Nominal liquid total is added liquid only; it does not predict foam, evaporation, residue, or displacement. The arithmetic does not establish taste, grade, freshness, caffeine, contaminants, allergens, health effects, storage life, or food safety. Use the exact physical label and qualified advice where appropriate.
- Batch matcha = dose per drink × number of drinks
- Whole drinks = floor(package grams ÷ dose grams)
- Cost per drink = package price ÷ theoretical drinks before rounding down
- Concentration = batch matcha grams ÷ nominal liquid ml × 100
How much matcha per drink
A common starting point for a bowl of thin tea (usucha) is about 2 grams of matcha in 60–70 ml of water. A latte is a different drink: the same 2 grams spread through 200 ml or more of milk tastes weak, so lattes usually need around 3–4 grams. Enter the dose you actually use, and the package-yield figures will reflect how quickly you really get through a tin. Our how to make matcha and matcha latte recipe guides cover preparation.
Cost per drink, with your own numbers
Tins come in very different sizes, so comparing them by the tin tells you little. Enter the net weight and the price you are paying, and the calculator converts it into cost per drink at your dose. That makes a small premium tin and a large culinary bag directly comparable. It does not know prices itself; it only does the arithmetic on the figures you type in.
What the numbers cannot tell you
Arithmetic cannot predict taste, freshness, foam or caffeine. Matcha loses colour and aroma after opening, so days of supply is also a freshness check: if a tin will take you months to finish, a smaller one may serve you better.
