Instructions
How to prepare matcha tea :
The art of preparing perfect Matcha tea is learned over time. Every detail is important to enjoy all its properties.
- Choose the water : it must preferably have a neutral pH and low fixed residue.
- Heat the water to just below boiling point (70-80°C). If you use a kettle it is advisable to open it when the water boils, wait 10 minutes or decant the water 4-5 times into another container; for each transfer the water loses approximately 4-5° Celsius. The temperature of the water is very important so as not to "burn" the tea and make it more bitter.
- Immerse the bamboo whisk (Chasen) in hot water for a few seconds.
- Add 1 g of Matcha to a previously sifted cup (2 bamboo spoons or ½ teaspoon).
- Pour about 70-80 ml of water (70-80°) over it.
- Blend it with the Matcha whisk until the tea becomes smooth.
