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)
