Daily ritual - how to make your perfect bowl of ceremonial grade matcha
1 minute to show you how to make your perfect bowl of ceremonial matcha, hope you will enjoy it 🙏❤️
In this video, we are making Usucha 薄茶 (thin tea), whereas, Koicha 濃茶 (thick tea) is a very dense, creamy, more concentrated tea.
What do you need?
1/2 tsp high-quality ceremonial grade matcha (check the color, see if its bright emerald green, this is the easiest way to check), in this video I used my favorite Three tea bowls matcha.
A chawan (tea bowl)
A chasen (bamboo whisk)
A chashaku (bamboo scoop), this is optional
A sieve
65 ml of filtered /spring water at 80°C
Instructions:
Soak the tea whisk (chasen) for a minute or less, to soften the tips; then, the whisk could last for a long time.
Sift 1/2 tsp (up to 1 tsp) of high-quality ceremonial grade matcha into a tea bowl (chawan)
Pour in 65ml of water at 80°C
Whisk in “M” motion until a beautiful foam forms
Cheers to our matcha moments, enjoy!
