Why Matcha Matters

There’s something uniquely calming and energising about matcha. Unlike regular green tea, matcha offers a fuller flavour, vibrant colour, and a smoother release of energy – making it a favourite for those seeking both mindfulness and vitality.
Best of all, making a perfect matcha at home is easier than you might think.

What You Need for the Perfect Matcha

Before you begin, having the right tools makes all the difference:

- High-quality matcha powder (preferably ceremonial grade)

- A bamboo whisk (chasen)

- A matcha bowl (chawan) or a deep mug like our Elegant Wooden Handle Glass Mug

- A fine sifter

- A bamboo scoop (chashaku) or a teaspoon

- Hot water (not boiling, around 75–80°C)

Step-by-Step Guide to Making Matcha at Home

1. Sift Your Matcha

Sift about 1–2 grams (½–1 teaspoon) of matcha powder into your bowl.
This step removes any clumps and ensures a smooth, frothy finish.

2. Add Hot Water

Gently pour about 60–80 ml of hot water (not boiling!) into the bowl.

3. Whisk Vigorously

Using your bamboo whisk, whisk the matcha in a zigzag "M" or "W" motion.
The goal is to create a layer of fine, rich foam on the surface.

4. Enjoy!

Once your matcha is frothy and vibrant, it’s ready to drink.
Sip slowly, enjoy the flavour, and let the ritual bring calm into your day.

 

Pro Tips for the Best Matcha

- Use filtered water for a cleaner taste.
- Warm your bowl with a little hot water beforehand for better results.
- Adjust the thickness to your liking — more powder for a thicker "koicha" matcha, less for a lighter "usucha."
