How To Make Matcha
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Matcha Bowl:
• Use the cotton liner to ensure the matcha bowl is clean and free of any dust.
• Warm the matcha bowl by pouring hot water into it and swirling it around. Discard the water and dry the bowl.
2. Sift the Matcha Powder:
• Use the tea sifter to sift 1–2 scoops of matcha powder into the bowl.
• This helps remove clumps and creates a smooth, fine texture for better mixing.
3. Measure the Matcha:
• Use the bamboo scoop to measure 1–2 scoops (about 1.5–2 grams) of matcha powder.
• Adjust the amount depending on how strong you want your matcha.
4. Add Hot Water:
• Heat water to around 175°F (80°C)—not boiling, as boiling water can burn the matcha and ruin the flavor.
• Pour about 2–3 ounces (60–90 ml) of hot water into the bowl.
5. Whisk the Matcha:
• Hold the bamboo whisk vertically and whisk the matcha in a zig-zag motion (like writing the letter “M”).
• Whisk quickly to create a frothy layer on top.
• Use the whisk holder to rest the whisk when not in use.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
• Your matcha is now ready! You can drink it directly from the matcha bowl or pour it into a cup.
Tips for Best Results:
• Clean and dry all tools after use to maintain their quality.
• Experiment with water-to-matcha ratios to suit your taste.
• Enjoy your matcha fresh and immediately after preparation!
Customer Reviews
I truly recommend this brand! I’ve tried both types, and this one is perfect for someone who loves a creamier, smoother matcha taste :) Also, it doesn’t have that grassy taste at all, and it has the perfect amount of sweetness.
You can tell the quality by its very, very green color! it’s perfect for matcha lattes.
Also, I have to give credit to the packaging, very minimalistic, and even the box it comes in is super cute 💚
To be honest I didn’t have high expectations for this matcha blend. But turns out, it is very good. It is on par with other Uji/Kyoto matcha brands you might know. It is smooth with only a little bit of bitterness and astringency. Good for drinking as usucha.
The taste is balanced, smooth, little umami and sweetness and seaweed finish! Nice one, thank you!
Okay so this is the Most aesthetic and cutest packaging 😍😍
Hands down the best matcha I've ever had! The smoothness is unmatched
