PREPARATION / REPEATABLE
A clear sequence for a smooth bowl: measured tea, suitable water, quick whisking, and an immediate pour. No mystique required.
HOUSE RATIO / USUCHA
2 grams. 60 millilitres. 75°C.
Sift the powder, add warm water, then whisk quickly from the wrist until an even microfoam covers the surface. For a latte, pour over milk and ice immediately.
A practical four-step bowl.
01
Measure and sift
Weigh 2g of matcha and pass it through a fine sieve.
02
Add warm water
Pour 60ml near 75°C / 167°F.
03
Whisk from the wrist
Move in a short, rapid zig-zag.
04
Pour without delay
Drink as prepared or pour over milk and ice.
Use what makes the result repeatable.
01
Measure the leaf
A 0.1g scale keeps strength consistent.
02
Break up clumps
A fine mesh gives water equal access to the powder.
03
Build fine foam
A bamboo whisk or small frother can work efficiently.
