How to succeed in the Matcha Tea Ceremony?

Bring a little water to a boil. Remove the kettle from the heat and let it cool down without the lid for about 2 minutes to reach the ideal temperature of 70°.

Meanwhile:

1. Rinse your Chawan (bowl) with hot water.
2. Using the Chashaku (bamboo spoon), put 1 to 2 spoons of your Matcha in your Chawan.
3. Use your Chasen (bamboo whisk) to mix the powder with a few drops of water. This step serves to break up lumps and produces a creamier cup with more foam.
4. Pour the water at 70° into the bowl. Squeeze the bowl firmly and whisk the matcha quickly, making “m” or “w” motions and moving up and down. Whip until frothy.
5. Stop when the foam is formed and the color turns emerald green. Then serve in a teacup.
6. Enjoy the tasting!
