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 ΒΌ 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 β€œz” 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!

    πŸ’§ For usucha, we recommend 60ml water.

    🍡 For koicha, we recommend 30ml water.

    ✨ Enjoy hot or iced, and bonus with a sweet treat or wagashi!
