Ingredients

100% pure Matcha

Directions

Dip chasen in water to loosen the chasen straws.

The 30-20-10 Rule of Whisking:

1. 1. Sift 2-3 grams of matcha through a strainer.
   2. Pour 15ml-20ml of water into the bowl. Initially, using the chasen, gently dab the matcha, using circle motions and mini circle motions until it forms a creamy consistency.
   3. Pour the remaining 15ml-20ml of water.
   4. Vigorously whisk for about 30-40 seconds (recommended motions: to & fro, circle, W, or a zig-zag motion).
   5. Slow down and whisk for about 20 seconds (recommended motions: to & fro, circle, W, or a zig-zag motion).
   6. For the last 10 seconds, glide the whisk around the bowl.

Place the chasen into water afterwards.

The Degrees of Water

• • Use warm water, 70-80 degrees Celsius.
  • Boiling water breaks down the chlorophyll into pheophytin, which gives it a dull, bitter, and flat taste.
  • The hotter the water, the more dull and bitter the taste will be.
