Start to clear your mind of the day’s clutter, for a ceremony with almost a thousand years of history.
Now, How to Prepare Matcha Tea
- Use your chashaku (the scoop) to place 2 scoops (about a gram) into your chawan tea bowl.
- Add a tiny bit (40ml) of hot (slightly steaming but never boiling) water – about the temperature of the hottest water from your tap to be precise, 70-80°C. Boiling water, at 100°C, will scald your tea, reducing the flavor and also all the health-giving properties of the antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.
- Run your chasen (whisk) under hot water – this opens the bristles and softens them so the delicate bristles don’t break.
- Gently stir the barely-damp matcha into a paste.
- Add an extra 80-140 ml of hot water. Use your chasen (whisk) first in an I shape, front to back quickly, then, to smooth the big bubbles, in a W or M shape. (Rinse your chasen, let it air dry, and place in the kusenaoshi to keep the shape.)
- Although tradition has us drink ceremonial matcha alone, do add milk if you prefer the taste.
Breathe in the scent, the tang, the clarity of pure matcha.
