The Art of Matcha Preparation – A Ritual of Mindfulness & Flavor

Matcha isn’t just a drink—it’s a centuries-old ritual rooted in Japanese tea culture. Whether you’re making matcha at home or preparing it in your Love Matcha café, following the right technique ensures the perfect cup every time.

🌟 Step 1: Gather Your Tools

To prepare matcha the traditional way, you’ll need:

✔ Matcha Powder – Choose ceremonial-grade for drinking or culinary-grade for recipes.

✔ Chawan (Matcha Bowl) – A wide-brimmed bowl designed for whisking.

✔ Chasen (Bamboo Whisk) – Essential for creating a smooth, frothy texture.

✔ Sifter – Helps remove clumps for a silky-smooth consistency.

✔ Chashaku (Bamboo Scoop) (Optional) – Perfect for measuring matcha accurately.

✔ Hot Water – Ideally at 80°C (176°F) to preserve matcha’s delicate taste and nutrients.

🌟 Step 2: Measure Your Matcha

🔹 Use 4 grams of matcha powder per serving.

🔹 Sift the matcha powder into your chawan to avoid clumps.

🌟 Step 3: Add Water

🔹 Pour 50 ml of hot (but not boiling) water into the bowl.🔹 This ensures that matcha retains its natural sweetness without bitterness.

🌟 Step 4: Whisk the Matcha

🔹 Hold the chawan steady and whisk briskly using your chasen (bamboo whisk).

🔹 Use a “W” motion to create a frothy, creamy surface with small bubbles.

🔹 Continue whisking until the matcha is evenly mixed and vibrant green.

🌟 Step 5: Enjoy Your Matcha

🥥 Sip directly from the bowl for an authentic experience.🥛 Make a matcha latte by adding steamed milk for a creamy texture.🍯 Sweeten to taste if you prefer a slightly sweeter cup.

🌿 Tips for the Perfect Cup

✔ Experiment with Ratios – Adjust the matcha-to-water ratio to your preference.

✔ Clean Your Tools – Rinse your chasen and chawan immediately after use.

✔ Mindful Moments – Treat matcha preparation as a relaxing ritual.
