In short

Finding the right dose of matcha

The right amount of matcha depends on how you want to enjoy it. Here are our tips for making your matcha perfect:

1. For a traditional preparation (matcha ceremony)
   If you want to experience the authenticity of the Japanese ceremony, use about 1 scoop of chashaku . The traditional bamboo spoon, called chashaku , allows you to easily measure a small amount of matcha. 1 scoop is about 1 to 2 grams of matcha, perfect for a cup. If you don't have a chashaku, 1 teaspoon will do.

   To prepare: sift your matcha into a bowl (the "chawan") , add about 70 to 80 ml of hot water at 80 °C and mix with a bamboo whisk (the "chasen") until you obtain a fine and silky foam. This is the step that gives all its texture and charm to your Japanese green tea .

2. For a creamy and balanced matcha latte
   For a latte, the technique is a little different. Also use about 1 scoop of chashaku or 1 teaspoon , which you sift into a bowl or cup. Add a small amount of hot water (80°C) and mix well to obtain a smooth paste. Then, dilute this paste slightly by adding 30 to 50 ml of hot water to create a small liquid matcha base. This mixture integrates perfectly with 150 to 200 ml of hot or cold milk for a creamy and delicious matcha latte.

   Tip: Almond or oat milk brings out the sweet, vegetal side of matcha, but feel free to experiment with your favorite milk!

Quality above all

A good matcha is above all a question of quality. Always choose an organic matcha tea and a premium or ceremony quality matcha , which guarantees you a fine powder, of a beautiful bright green. This type of matcha offers a balanced taste, without excessive bitterness. A low-end matcha will often be too bitter or dull, which risks spoiling your experience.

With our selection of Japanese green tea , you are sure to have a product that respects both traditions and your expectations in terms of flavor.
