We recommend you prepare this matcha slightly thicker than other matcha teas, to best enjoy the exquisite flavour. This tea is ideal for a tea lover wanting to experience the best of matcha tea, or someone who is curious to try new flavours.

How to make Perfect Matcha:
We recommend you use not quite boiling water, around 80°C works well.
If you are using a chashaku (a Japanese bamboo teaspoon) we recommend 2 scoops, or 1 scoop from an ordinary teaspoon (approx. 1.5g)
- Add 2 scoops of matcha powder to your tea bowl or cup.
- Pour around 70ml of not quite boiling water into the tea bowl.
- Whisk the matcha with a chasen (Japanese bamboo whisk) or a small whisk, for about 15 seconds until smooth and slightly foamy.
- Relax and enjoy!
