The Perfect Cup

Water at 70–80°C preserves sweetness and color.

Traditional Ceremonial Method

1

Prepare Your Tools

Warm your chawan (tea bowl) with hot water, then dry. This helps maintain temperature.

2

Sift the Matcha

Sift 1.5-2g (about 2 chashaku scoops) of matcha into your bowl to remove any clumps.

3

Add Water

Pour 60-70ml of 70-80°C water in a "W" pattern. Start from one side and work across.

4

Whisk to Perfection

Using a chasen, whisk vigorously in an "M" or "W" motion for 15-20 seconds until a fine foam appears.

5

Serve & Enjoy

Drink immediately while warm. The foam should be creamy and the color vibrant jade green. 温かいうちにすぐに飲みます。泡はクリーミーで、色は鮮やかな翡翠色でなければなりません。

Modern Alternatives

Matcha Latte

Whisk 1g matcha with 30ml hot water, then add 150ml steamed milk of choice.

Iced Matcha

Prepare traditional matcha, let cool slightly, then pour over ice. Add sweetener if desired. 伝統的な抹茶を準備し、少し冷ましてから氷の上に注ぎます。お好みで甘味料を加えます。

Quick Whisk Method クイック泡立て法

  • The "M" whisking motion is more effective than circular
  • Consume within 2-3 weeks of opening for best flavor 最高の風味のために開封後2-3週間以内に消費
