How to make Matcha
-
Pour hot water over chasen (matcha whisk) to loosen and warm up the bamboo tines. This will help whisk up a smooth and frothy matcha.
-
Sift 3-4g of matcha into your matcha bowl, or chawan.
For usucha, we recommend 2g. For koicha, we recommend 4g.
-
In your chawan, pour in about 20ml or ¼ cup of hot, not boiling water (70-80 degrees Celcius). If you don’t have a temp-stable kettle, you’re all good - just cool boiling water for 5 minutes before using!
-
In “z” motions, whisk the matcha and water together. Whisk gently and thoroughly to get rid of any clumps for a smooth tea, and you will see a layer of microfoam at the top. Gorg!
-
Your matcha base is good to go! How you dress it up is up to you!
🍯 For a latte, pour over 110ml milk of choice, and add sweetener if you like it sweet. We like agave, honey, or maple syrup!
💧 For usucha, we recommend 60ml water.
🍵 For koicha, we recommend 30ml water.
✨ Enjoy hot or iced, and bonus with a sweet treat or wagashi!

Hojicha, or roasted green tea, is low in caffeine and boasts a toasty and earthy flavor profile of roasted nuts and cacao. We sourced our hojicha powder from a family farm established in the 70’s, who were pioneers of organic tea farming. This comforting and delicious hojicha is one we keep coming back for. Our favorite preparation is over ice with milk and a dash of maple syrup! Prepare as you would matcha.
