How to Brew

Brew it your way

Four ways to make your matcha — from traditional preparation to easy everyday.

Traditional Preparation
5 min·Hot·Serves 1

Traditional Preparation

Thin matcha, whisked in a bowl. The classical way, and the foundation of everything else.

Ingredients
  • 1 g matcha (about ½ tsp)
  • 60 ml water at 175°F (just below boiling)
You'll Need
  • Matcha bowl (chawan)
  • Bamboo whisk (chasen)
  • Bamboo scoop (chashaku)
  • Fine-mesh sieve (optional but recommended)
Method
  1. Warm the bowl by rinsing it with hot water, then pour the water out.
  2. Sift the matcha into the bowl through a fine-mesh sieve to break up clumps.
  3. Add 60 ml of water at 175°F.
  4. Whisk briskly in a W-motion for 15–20 seconds, until a fine layer of foam forms.
  5. Drink immediately, before the foam dissipates.
Tip
A faster whisk makes more foam; a slower whisk gives a creamier body. Both are correct. Try not to scrape your whisk against the bottom of your matcha bowl.

Matcha Latte
3 min·Hot·Serves 1

Matcha Latte

Matcha as your morning cup. Hot, smooth, and as sweet as you like it.

Ingredients
  • 2 g matcha (about 1 tsp)
  • 60 ml water at 175°F
  • 200 ml milk of choice, steamed
  • Honey or simple syrup, to taste (optional)
You'll Need
  • Matcha bowl or wide cup
  • Bamboo whisk or electric frother
  • Milk steamer or saucepan
Method
  1. Sift the matcha into a bowl or wide cup.
  2. Add 30 ml of water at 175°F and whisk until smooth and lump-free.
  3. Steam or heat the milk to about 150°F (warm but not boiling).
  4. Pour the milk slowly into the matcha, stirring gently.
  5. Sweeten to taste, if desired.
Tip
Use 4 g of matcha for a stronger, grassier latte. Oat milk pairs especially well.

About Matcha

Common questions

Everything you might be wondering before your first brew.

Matcha is a powdered Japanese green tea, made from leaves shade-grown in the weeks before harvest and stone-milled to a fine powder. Unlike steeped teas, you drink the leaves themselves.

Ceremonial matcha is made from the youngest, sweetest leaves and is meant for traditional whisked preparation. Daily or culinary matcha is made for everyday use — lattes, smoothies, baking — and stands up to milk and other flavors.

The traditional way: sift 1g of matcha into a warm bowl, add 60ml of water at 175°F, and whisk in a brisk W-motion until foamy. For a latte, whisk with a splash of hot water first, then add your milk of choice.

Yes. A typical 1g serving has around 30mg of caffeine. Because you're drinking the leaves themselves, the caffeine content is higher than a typical cup of green tea.

Unopened, matcha will keep for about a year. Once opened, it's best within four to six weeks. Store it sealed in the fridge, away from light and air, to keep the color and flavor vibrant.

Regular green tea is steeped, and the leaves are discarded. Matcha is the leaves themselves, stone-ground into a powder you whisk directly into water. The shade-growing process and the fact that you consume the whole leaf give matcha its deeper umami and more saturated color.
