Top Tips

1. Matcha Grade Matters: Explore different grades of matcha powder, from ceremonial to culinary, to find the flavor profile that suits your preference. Ceremonial grades are often more vibrant and full-bodied.
2. Traditional Matcha Whisk (Chasen): Invest in a bamboo matcha whisk for a traditional touch. Whisk the matcha and warm milk in a gentle "W" or "M" shape to achieve a smooth and frothy consistency.
3. Kyusu or Chawan Selection: Consider using a traditional Japanese teapot (Kyusu) or a wide-brimmed bowl (Chawan) for an authentic experience. These vessels enhance the aesthetics of the matcha-making process.
4. Sip Mindfully: In Japanese tea culture, sipping tea is an experience. Take small sips, allowing the flavors to linger on your palate, and appreciate the moment.
