Perfect Ted Strawberry Matcha, 75g
Made hot, strawberry over green tea can read like warm jam. Made cold, over ice with milk, it is the drink this powder was built for, and that is how the people who keep buying it drink it. The green base stays audible underneath rather than vanishing into flavouring, which is what separates it from a milkshake powder. One thing to say plainly: matcha is whole milled leaf, so this carries caffeine despite looking like a children's drink. The ingredient list and whether it is sweetened are on the carton, worth reading before you buy it for a child.
Perfect Ted Strawberry Matcha, in brief.
Perfect Ted Strawberry Matcha is a flavoured matcha powder in a 75g pack, picked into the teas.co.uk curator selection as the friendly way into whisked matcha for anyone who found plain ceremonial grade too vegetal to keep drinking.
Whisked rather than steeped, so you drink the leaf and get body no tea bag can give. Water at about 80 degrees rather than boiling, paste first, then top up.
Perfect Ted Strawberry Matcha is a 75g pack of flavoured matcha powder made with one drinker in mind: someone who likes the idea of whisking green tea powder but not the grassy, faintly bitter cup that puts most first timers off plain ceremonial matcha. The strawberry is doing a job here rather than decorating the tin. It sits on top of the green note and rounds off the edge that beginners find difficult.
Matcha is not brewed, it is suspended. You are drinking the whole leaf, milled to a powder and whisked into water or milk rather than steeped and strained out. That single difference explains almost everything about how this pack behaves: why the colour is opaque rather than clear, why it thickens as it stands, why it settles at the bottom of a glass if you walk away from it, and why temperature matters more than time. Nothing steeps here, so there is no steep to get wrong. What there is instead is a whisking technique, and it takes about a week of mornings to get right.
Curator notes: those dot ratings are our own verdict on the 75g pack as it is now, judged alongside what Perfect Ted publishes. Orders for this strawberry powder go out in 1 to 2 working days. Lumps, milk, caffeine, sugar and iced builds all get answers in the Q and A tab.

The Story Behind Perfect Ted
Perfect Ted is a newcomer to our shelves. It is a matcha-led brand rather than a traditional tea house, and its range is built around powders and single-serve sticks rather than bags, which is why it reads differently from everything else in the green tea aisle.
What is on the pack in front of you is the reliable source for all of that, and it takes ten seconds to read. We would rather say that plainly than fill the gap with confident-sounding guesses, because the things people actually need to know about a flavoured matcha, whether there is added sugar in it and what the serving size is, are exactly the things we would be guessing about.
Packaging: Councils treat materials differently, so sort the pack by its label and your local authority's advice.
What You Are Actually Buying
- Weight: 75g of flavoured matcha powder. Not tea bags, not loose leaf, and not something you can put in a teapot.
- Kit: a small whisk or a milk frother. A teaspoon on its own leaves lumps, and lumps are the single most common reason people decide they do not like matcha.
- What it is not: not a plain ceremonial matcha. If you want the unflavoured green cup, this is the wrong pack and a pure matcha is the right one.

The taste profile
How does it compare
There is no steep time here, which removes the usual variable and replaces it with two others: water temperature and how well you disperse the powder. Both are easy once you know, and both are easy to get wrong on the first try.
The Hot Matcha
The Iced Strawberry Matcha
Made with this tea
Hot Strawberry Matcha Latte
A warm, milky mug with the strawberry on top and Perfect Ted's green tea underneath.
- Strawberry Matcha powder, in the amount the pack suggests
- A splash of water at about 80°C, plus 50ml more
- 150ml hot milk or oat milk
- Boil the kettle and let it stand two minutes, or add a splash of cold, so the water sits near 80°C rather than boiling.
- Paste the powder with a splash of that water and whisk until completely smooth before adding anything else.
- Loosen with 50ml more water, whisking in a brisk W motion until a light foam forms.
- Top with 150ml of hot milk and drink within a few minutes, before the leaf settles.
What you'll end up with: A thick, creamy pink-green cup with the strawberry on top and the green tea underneath it. If it tastes harsh, the water was too hot.
Iced Strawberry Matcha
The cold, milky glass that most people buy Perfect Ted's strawberry powder for.
- Strawberry Matcha powder, in the amount the pack suggests
- 1 tablespoon warm water
- A tall glass of ice
- 200ml cold milk or oat milk
- Whisk the powder into 1 tablespoon of warm water until smooth. Cold water will not disperse it, which is why this step is warm.
- Fill a tall glass with ice cubes, then add 200ml of cold milk or oat milk.
- Pour the paste in last so it streaks down through the milk.
- Stir before you drink rather than after the first sip.
What you'll end up with: The version this pack is best at, and the one worth judging it on. Cold keeps the strawberry forward and the finish sweeter.
Sparkling Strawberry Matcha Long Drink
A fizzy, lime sharpened long drink with Perfect Ted strawberry matcha over ice.
- Strawberry Matcha powder, in the amount the pack suggests
- 1 tablespoon warm water
- A tall glass of ice
- 200ml chilled sparkling water
- A wedge of lime
- Paste the powder with 1 tablespoon of warm water and whisk smooth.
- Pour the paste into a tall glass heaped with ice; 200ml of chilled sparkling water goes on top.
- Squeeze in a wedge of lime, which sharpens the strawberry and stops it reading as sweet.
- Stir once and drink straight away, while it is still lively.
What you'll end up with: A clean, fizzy strawberry drink with a green tea backbone. Much lighter than the milk builds and better in hot weather.
Strawberry Matcha Overnight Oats
Overnight oats flavoured with Perfect Ted strawberry matcha, ready when you wake.
- Strawberry Matcha powder, in the amount the pack suggests
- 50g rolled oats
- 150ml milk or oat milk
- A handful of fresh strawberries
- Sift the powder through a small sieve onto the oats rather than tipping it in, so it disperses instead of clumping.
- Stir in 150ml of milk, cover and leave in the fridge overnight.
- Top with fresh strawberries in the morning.
What you'll end up with: Breakfast that tastes like the drink. Milled leaf folds into cold food without needing to be brewed first, which is the main practical advantage of a powder.
No-Bake Strawberry Matcha Cheesecake Pots
Four no bake cheesecake pots flavoured with Perfect Ted strawberry matcha.
- Strawberry Matcha powder, 2 servings by the pack's own measure
- 300g full-fat cream cheese
- 150ml double cream
- 2 tablespoons icing sugar
- 150g digestive biscuits and 60g melted butter
- Crush the biscuits, stir through the melted butter and press into the base of four glasses.
- Sift the matcha with the icing sugar, then beat both into the cream cheese.
- Whip the double cream to soft peaks and fold it through.
- Spoon over the bases and chill for at least three hours.
What you'll end up with: Pale green pots with a strawberry lift, and the best argument for keeping a matcha powder in the cupboard rather than only bags.

Ingredient and nutrition information for this product, as published on the manufacturer's label. If the label on your strawberry pack says otherwise, believe the label.
| Ingredient | Proportion | What it brings |
|---|---|---|
| Green tea, milled to matcha powder | See current pack | The base of the drink and the reason it is opaque rather than clear. Milled whole leaf gives body, colour and the savoury green note underneath the fruit. |
| Strawberry flavour | See current pack | The lead note. Sweet and jammy rather than sharp, which is what lets it sit over a green tea base without the two fighting each other. |
Pack: 75g of strawberry flavoured matcha powder from Perfect Ted, made to be whisked, not steeped. Contains caffeine. Each UK pack carries its own best before date; check it there.
Components are shown as the pack format and the brand's published description present them.
Sourcing & blend. This strawberry powder comes from Perfect Ted, a matcha brand whose range runs to powders and single serve sticks rather than bags, and it is the first Perfect Ted line we put on the teas.co.uk shelf. Matcha is made by milling shade-grown green tea leaf to a fine powder, which is why the drink carries body and colour that an infusion never does.
What's in Perfect Ted Strawberry Matcha, 75g, and what isn't:
- In: milled green tea leaf carrying a strawberry flavour, sold as a loose powder to be whisked into water or milk rather than steeped in a bag.
- Not a tea bag and not loose leaf: this is a powder. It needs a whisk or a frother, and it will not work in a teapot or an infuser.
