Traditionally in Japan, Matcha is ceremonially whisked into a frothy brew and enjoyed with wagashi. The health benefits are magnified with Matcha as the stone-ground Sencha allows for consumption of the whole tea leaf. Using a bamboo whisk and bowl, Matcha becomes a thick green brew that is typically enjoyed in a matcha bowl. This tea is known to contain vitamins and minerals, while slowly releasing caffeine for a sustained energy boost without the crash.

TEA 101

Brewing Directions

You will need: a matcha whisk, a tea bowl, a matcha spoon or teaspoon, and a matcha strainer (optional). Start with filtered water for the best brew.

1. Add 2 scoops or 1 teaspoon of matcha to the bowl. A strainer may be used to sift the matcha free of clumps. Adjust amount of matcha to your preferences.

2. Slowly add 1/3 cup of hot water (~175°F).

3. Lightly press the matcha whisk into the bowl and whisk in a quick back and forth motion until a smooth layer of foam is created.

4. Enjoy immediately!

Note: The method above is to make usucha, or thin tea. The way to prepare matcha for the tea ceremony is known as koicha, or thick tea.
