How to make a cup/bowl of Matcha.
Recipe:
3 to 4 grams of Matcha if you are making "Usucha (or Ousu)"
5 to 6 grams of Matcha if you are making "Koicha"
1/3 a cup (or 60ml to 70 ml) of hot water at 80 degrees centigrade (176 F)
Both Usucha and Koicha are proper Matcha, but the difference is in how much tea you "can" use without making the Matcha bitter. In general, Koicha is the more expensive matcha, which is suited for a thick rich bowl of matcha. Usucha, is the lesser expensive, more common matcha, and is suited for a lighter (thinner) bowls of matcha.
For the absolute best Matcha that Japan has to offer, including the exclusive Matabay Koicha, visit www.tea-of-japan.com
*NOTE: Although the video is shot in tea ceremony style, this video is not about proper tea ceremony. The set-up, moves, and style are different from formal tea ceremony, and is intended for a casual bowl of matcha.

Thank you for making an actual guide I'm so frustrated trying to find an actual guide, most of the time people don't take proper care of their whisk and don't measure the liquid they use they just throw in any random amount of scalding hot water and act like its fine to not care for your wooden tools.

boiling water may destroy the compounds within matcha so you may have reduced caffeine, theanine, and anti oxidants. you can use hot water but generally i use room temperature water, it's slower but it retains everything.

Well sure, every cultural food and drink can be made in a value size and easy for families bc the real deal takes more time, is more expensive, and requires more effort. Just like Mexican horchata comes in concentrate or lemondade concentrate is most common. But there is not question that a tea ceremony exists for making matcha and there is no problem with people wanting to learn about it’s history and enjoy it.

@mpk6664 2 жыл бұрын

Warming the bowl gets the tea ready for the hot water. It kind of "opens up" the tea if that makes sense. You don't technically have to dry the bowl, but since matcha is an extremely fine powder it will stick to everything. Just makes life easier.

It it served in cups, not a whisking bowl. Typically, Most, or many people just use a tea mug and spoon matcha into it, add water, and stir with the spoon. Making matcha this way is more of a morning meditative experience. Worth doing though.

Ok, so I came here bc in other how to's I've seen there's an extra step at the end that I don't know if it's legit or not: do you add more hot water after whisking? Or do you just drink it like that? Also: if preparing tea for a larger group, would you do this for each individual? Or do you prepare one large batch and then portion it off. . . . ? Do you pour from the bowl you made it in into individual cups? Or ladle?

Ok. I usually strongly criticize non-Japanese people and people who aren't actually doing the real tea ceremony when they insist on a particular matcha preparation method. These are Japanese aesthetic traditions. They're not necessary when you want to simply prepare and make matcha tea. Use any bowl, any kind of whisk or mixer to introduce bubbles, and put any sugar or milk you want into it. Use rational common sense and don't pretend to be Japanese when you aren't.

Some people like the feeling and idea of using actual Japanese tools to prepare matcha and I don't know why that bothers you. Let people do what they want instead of criticising them. You go on any Japanese website selling matcha powder they typically always sell matcha making tools so I don't even think a regular Japanese person would find it weird if a non Japanese use traditional tools.

@StopFear 4 жыл бұрын

@@connorward409 No. We should criticize anything that bothers us otherwise there is no progress of any kind and we are stuck with dumb traditions like using a particular tool to make a tea. The point is there literally is no sense in using traditional Japanese tools to make tea. It is the end result that matters. And of course sites that sell matcha will also be selling tools. They make a lot of money off selling them.

@connorward409 4 жыл бұрын

@@StopFear What progress is made by criticizing people from using tools to make a type of tea.. and who is "Us"? I can't think of a single person who is upset or bothered by Non Japanese using Japanese tools to make Japanese tea. You're very bored obviously to be upset by this. I'm sure you can make the tea without Japanese items but they are designed literally for that purpose. Let people do what they want, Jesus. It's tea making.
