Preparation

Whisked Tradition

In the traditional preparation, the main vessel is a tall rimmed bowl. The base should be wide enough so that a traditional bamboo whisk can move back and forth quickly without much contact with the bowl. A chashaku, or a bamboo spoon, is used to scoop matcha to its recommended serving.

    INSTRUCTIONS:

    1. Scoop a half teaspoon of matcha into the bowl
    2. Add 6 oz. of 175°F water
    3. Whisk quickly in an "M" motion back and forth until the water has turned emerald green and frothy
    4. Sip right away and enjoy

      On the Go 

      When on the go, enjoy the same benefits of matcha in a shaker bottle. When it’s hot out, fill it with ice to help create a refreshingly chilled tea you’ll love. Stash a couple To-Go Packets before you start your day.

        2. Add 1 To-Go packet or 1 tsp of Matcha.
        3. Shake bottle vigorously for about 10 seconds until the tea is emerald green and frothed up.
        4. Drink right away and enjoy!
