What’s matcha?

Matcha is made from shade-cultivated green tea leaves that have been finely grounded on a stone mill, containing deep flavour and nutrients of leaves. Matcha is prepared in a different way from the way loose-leaf teas are prepared. The preparation of authentic matcha requires the following utensils. They can be purchased on Misora 美空 online shop:

1. A chasen (bamboo tea whisk)
2. A chashaku (bamboo spoon)
3. A chawan (tea bowl)

Instructions:

As Usucha- Thin Tea:
STEP 1 Put 2g (0.4 US tsp, 1 teaspoon or 2 chashaku scoop) matcha powder into a suitable tea bowl.
STEP 2 Pour 70 ml (2.4 fl oz) 80℃ (176°F) water over the matcha powder.
STEP 3 Whisk with a chasen (tea whisk) until foamy.

As Koicha- Thick Tea:
STEP 1 Put 4g (0.8 US tsp, 2 teaspoon or 4 chashaku scoop) matcha powder into a suitable tea bowl.
STEP 2 Pour 30 ml (1 fl oz) 80℃ (176°F) water over the matcha powder.
STEP 3 Gently knead with a chasen (tea whisk) until all lumps are gone.

❖ Before Step 1, warm up the tea bowl with hot water, then dry it with a cloth to create the perfect temperature so make the most delicious matcha with a fresh scent while preparing. (Optional)
❖ To prevent clotting of the matcha powder, sift it through a fine strainer before use. (Strongly recommended)
❖ After the matcha is done, drink it immediately, because as it cools down it gets more and more bitter. (Recommended)
❖ Freshness is the most important thing for the enjoyment of Matcha. It is best to use up the tea within one month of opening. (Strongly recommended)

Note:

Matcha doesn’t completely dissolve. Fine powder become suspended in the hot water as it’s whisked.

Best to consume the matcha immediately before the particles sink to the bottom of the tea bowl.
