What does first-harvest matcha tea taste like?

First-harvest powdered matcha has a delicate, vibrant flavor profile characterized by its natural sweetness, rich umami flavor, and minimal bitterness. The shade-growing process, which increases its L-theanine content, gives the matcha a smooth, creamy texture and a savory, slightly sweet, well-balanced taste. Its flavor is often described as fresh, grassy, and slightly vegetal, with a hint of sweetness and a smooth, satisfying finish.

Can the tea bowl be used for beverages other than matcha?

Yes! While traditionally designed for matcha preparation, the tea bowl is versatile and can be used for other beverages, such as herbal teas and lattes. Its wide shape and sturdy design make it ideal for whisking and enjoying a variety of warm or cold drinks.

Is the matcha bowl microwave or dishwasher safe?

Crafted using traditional techniques, this high-quality ceramic matcha bowl is designed to prevent overheating, ensuring it stays cool to the touch for a comfortable grip. Microwave safe, it allows for easy heating of water or milk, making matcha preparation effortless. However, to preserve its longevity, hand washing is recommended over dishwasher use.

How long does a bamboo whisk typically last?

A bamboo whisk (chasen) typically lasts 1 to 3 months with regular use, depending on frequency and care. To extend its lifespan, rinse it with warm water after each use, let it air dry on a whisk holder, and avoid soaking it in water for long periods. Over time, the prongs may soften or break, showing it's time for a replacement. If used occasionally and properly maintained, a chasen can last several months.

Preparation & Care

Matcha Latte

Ingredients

1 teaspoon Matcha Green Tea Powder
¼ cup hot water (160–180°F)
¼ cup warmed milk (soy, cashew, coconut, or any milk of choice)
Optional: sweetener of your choice (to taste)
Optional: vanilla bean or cinnamon (for added flavor)

Instructions

Prepare the Matcha

Sift the matcha powder into a matcha bowl to remove any lumps.
Add hot water 80°C (175°F) to the matcha.
Using a matcha whisk, whisk briskly in an up-and-down motion for about 30 seconds until the mixture becomes frothy.

Add Milk

Pour warm milk over the frothed matcha tea. Taste and adjust flavors by adding vanilla, cinnamon, sweetener, or additional water or milk as desired.

Blender Method (Alternative)

If you don't have a whisk, combine milk, matcha powder, sweetener (e.g., honey or agave nectar), and vanilla in a blender. Cover and blend on high until the mixture is creamy and frothy.

Cold Latte Option

Add the ingredients and a handful of ice to a jar for an iced matcha latte. Cover and shake vigorously until well combined.

Tips for the Perfect Latte

Water Temperature: Keep the water between 160–180°F to avoid a bitter, burnt taste. A good tip is to let your kettle boil and cool for a few minutes before adding it to the matcha powder.

Enjoy your creamy, flavorful Matcha Latte!
