How to drink

What's the best way to brew matcha?

Absolutely! Brewing matcha is a beautiful ritual that highlights the unique qualities of Japanese green tea powder. Here’s a step-by-step guide for preparing matcha using the traditional Japanese method:

What You’ll Need

  • High-quality matcha powder
  • Tea bowl (Chawan)
  • Bamboo whisk (Chasen)
  • Sifter (optional, but helps prevent lumps)
  • Hot water (about 80°C / 176°F)
  • Tea scoop (Chashaku) or small spoon

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Sift the Matcha
    Measure out 2 grams (roughly 1 to 2 chashaku scoops or about 1 teaspoon) of matcha powder. For best texture, sift the powder directly into your tea bowl. This helps break up clumps and ensures a smoother, frothier finish.
  2. Heat the Water
    Boil water and then let it cool to about 80°C / 176°F. Using water that’s too hot can scorch the matcha and produce bitterness, while cooler water brings out sweetness and umami.
  3. Add Water to Matcha
    Pour 70 ml (~2.36 fl oz) of hot water into the bowl with sifted matcha powder. This is the typical ratio for “usucha,” or thin matcha, which is commonly enjoyed in Japan.
  4. Whisk Properly
    Using your bamboo whisk, briskly whisk the matcha and water together in an M or W motion—not a circular motion. This aerates the tea and creates a layer of foam on top. Aim for a smooth, creamy consistency with a fine froth.
  5. Enjoy Immediately
    Matcha is best enjoyed right after preparation. Sip directly from the bowl to experience the full flavor: creamy, sweet, savory umami, and a gentle hint of astringency.

Tips for Success

  • Sifting the powder before whisking is key for avoiding lumps.
  • Whisk vigorously for about 15-30 seconds for a frothy texture.
  • Adjust strength to suit your preference by varying the amount of powder or water.
  • For a richer “koicha” (thick tea), use more matcha powder and less water.
