How to brew - Premium Uji Matcha
To help you enjoy the best possible cup, here’s our brewing guide.
[How to Prepare Hot Matcha (Usucha)]
-
Prepare the Matcha: Place 1.5-2g of matcha (2 chashaku scoops or 1 heaped teaspoon) into a matcha bowl. We recommend sifting the matcha to prevent lumps.
-
Add Hot Water: Pour approximately 60ml of hot water at the appropriate temperature (around 80°C). Using boiling water directly can result in excessive bitterness.
-
Whisk: Using a bamboo whisk (chasen), rapidly move your wrist back and forth to mix the matcha and water thoroughly. Whisk from the bottom of the bowl until a fine, even foam covers the surface.
-
Serve: The matcha is ready when it has a smooth consistency and a delicate foam on top.
[How to Prepare Cold Brew Matcha (Recommended for Summer)]
-
Place 2g of matcha into a clean bottle and add 150ml of cold water.
-
Seal the bottle and shake well, or whisk thoroughly, then chill in the refrigerator.
-
After a few hours, your mellow and refreshing cold brew matcha is complete.
