How to Make Matcha

Step 1: Prepare your tools
-Bring water to a boil, then cool it by pouring it into a bowl or cup.
-Sift your matcha through a fine mesh strainer to remove any clumps.
-Warm your tea bowl and Chasen with hot water, then dry.

Step 2: Add the Matcha
-Sift 2 Chashaku tea scoops (about 2 grams) of matcha into your warm tea bowl.

Step 3: Add a Small Amount of Water
-Prepare 70 ml of hot water cooled to 158–176°F.
-Pour a small splash into the bowl and whisk gently to dissolve the matcha.

Step 4: Whisk to Create Froth
-Add the rest of the water.
-Move your wrist back and forth quickly in a zigzag motion to build froth.
-Then slow down to smooth the surface.
-If large bubbles appear, lightly break them with the tips of the whisk.

Step 5: Enjoy Your Matcha
-The finer the foam, the smoother the matcha tastes.
-Sip slowly. It pairs beautifully with a small sweet treat.

-Before first use, soak tips in warm water for 1–2 minutes to soften.
-After each use, rinse gently with warm water (no soap).
-Shake off excess water and air-dry upright to maintain shape.
