Quick answers

1/4 cup of matcha powder is about 24 g, 1/3 cup is about 32 g, 1/2 cup is about 48 g, 2/3 cup is about 64 g, 3/4 cup is about 72 g and 1 cup is about 96 g (3.4 oz). One tablespoon is about 6.0 g and one teaspoon about 2.0 g.

Example: using matcha powder in a recipe

If a recipe asks for 1 1/2 cups of matcha powder, that is 1.5 x 96 g, or about 144 g. If a recipe gives 200 g and you only have cups, divide 200 by 96 to get about 2.08 cups.

How to measure matcha powder

Spoon the matcha powder into a dry measuring cup and level it with the back of a knife. Scooping straight from the bag packs it down and can add a lot of extra weight. If a recipe says sifted, check whether to sift before or after measuring, because sifting adds air.

Where these weights come from

Weights follow the King Arthur Baking ingredient weight chart (rounded). Brands and measuring methods vary, so treat results as close estimates.
