🍵 Why Does KooRi Batch Matcha ?
We’ve seen some customers wondering why we prepare matcha in batches instead of weighing and whisking every cup individually.
The short answer: consistency and speed.
Let’s take an example.
If we prepare 10 matcha drinks individually, we need to:
✅ Weigh matcha 10 times
✅ Add water 10 times
✅ Whisk 10 times
✅ Mix with other ingredients 10 times
✅ Repeat the process for every single cup
Even with experienced baristas, this adds several extra minutes and significantly increases waiting times during peak hours.
But there is another reason that is even more important: consistency.
Let’s say a recipe calls for 5g of matcha .
If one cup accidentally receives 4g and another receives 6g, that’s a 20% difference in matcha concentration. Even with just 1g in difference, one customer may receive a noticeably weaker drink while another receives a stronger one.
When preparing multiple servings together, the matcha is measured, mixed, and distributed evenly. Small measurement variations are spread across the entire batch, resulting in more consistent drinks from cup to cup.
This 5g matcha example is just one ingredient. Our recipes contain multiple ingredients, and each one can have small measurement variations if prepared individually. Batching helps reduce the impact of these variations across the entire recipe, leading to more consistent results overall.
Another thing many people don’t realize is that almost all of our matcha drinks are mixed with milk, cream foam, coconut water, fruit, or other ingredients. They are not traditional bowls of straight matcha.
Whether it’s a Matcha Latte, Matcha Cloud, Coconut Matcha Cloud, Strawberry Matcha Latte, or Matcha Smoothie, the matcha is ultimately combined with the rest of the recipe. The final drink is then shaken, stirred, blended, or poured together with other ingredients.
For these drinks, batching the matcha base does not meaningfully change the final taste or quality when done properly.
Our goal has always been:
💚 Consistent recipes
💚 Consistent flavor
💚 Faster service
💚 Better customer experience
At KooRi, we continuously improve our workflow so we can serve hundreds of customers a day while maintaining the quality standards we expect from every cup.
And let’s be honest… nobody wants to watch our baristas perform 100 whisking workouts before getting their drink.
And of course,
welcome to the Moo Club 🐮💚 — where great matcha, happy cows, and faster drinks all go hand in hand.
