How to Prepare Our Matcha

This smooth and balanced blend is best enjoyed as usucha (thin-style matcha)

To start, we recommend:

  1. Sift 1.5 g (3/4 tsp.) of tea powder through a fine mesh sieve. Add to chawan (tea bowl).

  2. Bring 80 ml of fresh water to a boil and let cool to 80°~85°C.

  3. Slowly add water to tea powder and whisk for 20 seconds, until small bubbles appear.

Next time, adjust proportions to taste.

Enjoy.
