Matcha Green Tea
Matcha Green Tea is a green powdered tea made from premier tea plants that are shaded. It has a low tannin content which gives it a very characteristic mellow flavour.
This is the tea that is traditionally used in the Japanese Tea Ceremony. In comparison to other teas, Matcha is generally more expensive
Brewing Instructions+
Follow these simple steps to brew your perfect cup of matcha:
Use cold, filtered water.
Do not use tap water since the chlorine will affect the quality of the tea.
Bring water to a gentle boil.
Pour about 2 oz of the hot water into a ceramic mug.
Place ½ teaspoon of matcha green tea into a round cappuccino mug or a bowl.
Take the cooled water from the ceramic mug and pour it into the bowl with the matcha in it.
Whisk the tea with a bamboo whisk (this is quite easily obtained from a tea store) until a fine froth develops, approximately 15 seconds.
If you want your matcha more diluted, add extra water.
Pour and enjoy!
