Easy at Home! Authentic Matcha Brewing Guide
The appeal of matcha lies not only in its rich flavor and aroma, but also in its ability to evoke the spirit of the tea ceremony. Even beginners can enjoy authentic matcha at home. In this guide, we will show you how to whisk basic matcha and the necessary tools in an easy-to-understand manner.
Necessary Tools
To brew matcha, you will need some special tools. First, you will need the following tools
・Chawan (tea bowl): A bowl for whisking matcha. A deep bowl is easier to use.
・Chasen: A whisk made of bamboo. It is indispensable for whisking matcha smoothly.
・Chashaku: A small spoon used to take out the matcha from the whisk.
・Matcha: Select high quality matcha.
How to whisk Matcha
-
Warming: First, pour hot water into the bowl to warm the Chasen. This will soften the tip of the Chasen and make it easier to whisk. After warming up, discard the hot water.
-
Pouring Matcha: Using a chashaku (tea scoop), pour 2 cups (about 2 grams) of matcha into a tea bowl.
-
Pour hot water: Pour about 60-80 ml of hot water at about 70 degrees Celsius.
-
Whisk: Using the Chasen, quickly whisk the matcha by moving your hands in a quick “M” motion. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is evenly frothy.
Key Points
-
If the water temperature is too high, the matcha will become bitter, so it is best to use water around 70 degrees Celsius.
-
When whisking, it is important to make light movements with a snap of the wrist.
Matcha is more than just a drink; it provides a wonderful moment of calm and relaxation. Even if you are a beginner, we encourage you to use this guide to enjoy authentic matcha at home.
