There are a number of ways to prepare matcha tea but the traditional way is a must when you are first starting out. It immerses you into the spiritual and ritualistic aspect of matcha that dives deep into Japan’s history and culture and truly provides you with a unique matcha experience.
To prepare your matcha tea properly you need the right tools and a knowledge of how to use them correctly. The basic tools that you need are: a matcha bamboo whisk, a bamboo spoon, a sifter and a matcha bowl.
How to make Traditional Matcha Tea:
1. First, scoop the matcha powder into a sifter (we recommend about two bamboo scoops of matcha powder per bowl.)
2. Sift the matcha into the bowl
3. add about 2-4 ounces (75-100ml) of water and whisk until dissolved and frothy.
4. Serve in you favourite cup and enjoy!
