Kitsho matcha tea (20g): A milder and gentler texture, perfect for everyday drinking whilst still providing a wonderful flavour and aroma. Our best-selling matcha tea.
Aoarashi matcha tea (40g): A sharper and slightly more bitter tea. Perfect for someone who likes spicy food and strong tastes. Great for matcha lattes.
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 small whisk, for about 15 seconds until smooth and slightly foamy.
- Relax and enjoy!
