The key to enjoying the perfect matcha tea lies in its preparation and while it isn't complicated, there are a couple of steps which should be followed, to ensure that you are making and consuming matcha correctly and reaping the full benefits of this ancient wellbeing elixir. Learn how to prepare the perfect matcha tea below...
Step 1: Prepare
Pop on the kettle (set to 80 Degrees Celsius if possible, or boil & let the water cool for a few minutes).
In the meantime, prepare your matcha tools:
- matcha bowl (can be any bowl but should be wide & deep enough to whisk vigorously in)
- matcha whisk also known as chasen - typically (hand-)made from bamboo
- a small sieve & teaspoon.
Step 2: Sieve & Whisk
Sieve half a teaspoon of highest quality matcha powder (e.g. KOSHO Byuti Organic Matcha Tea) into the bowl & fill up with approx. 80ml of the hot (not boiling!) water.
Using the chasen, whisk for approx. 30 seconds until a light green frothy foam has formed.
Step 3: Enjoy!
That's it - enjoy! Due to its invigorating properties, matcha is best consumed in the mornings (also makes a great substitute for caffeine!), for calm, yet focused energy throughout the day.
EXTRA TIP: If you are using KOSHO Matcha Effective Cosmetics, the matcha is ideally consumed 15 minutes prior to application of the cosmetics, as the matcha also stimulates the micro-circulation of the skin and ensures optimal absorption of the cosmetic ingredients.
