USUCHA

Thin Tea (2g to 60ml of water)

  1. Measure your powder and sift into a bowl to remove clumps (2g for Usucha)
  2. Pour 60 ml of hot water at around 80°C (176°F). Soft, filtered water enhances the tea’s flavor.
  3. Whisk briskly in a “W” or “M” motion lifting the wrist slightly to avoid excessive contact on the bowl. Continue whisking until you see a fine layer of foam across the surface.

KOICHA

Thick Tea (4g to 40ml of water)

  1. Measure your powder and sift into a bowl to remove clumps (4g for Koicha)
  2. Pour 40 ml of hot water at around 80°C (176°F). Soft, filtered water enhances the tea’s flavor.
  3. Whisk with the chasen as if kneading the mixture. Add another 20ml of hot water & whisk until the mixture is smooth

First Harvest

First harvest matcha comes from the very first tea leaves harvested in spring. The young, tender leaves are shade-grown to bring out the tea's vivid green color and natural umami flavors.
