Preparation & Care

Traditional Usucha (Thin Tea) Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1-1.5 tsp high-quality matcha
  • 2-3 oz (60-90 ml) hot water (175°F / 80°C)

Equipment:

  • Matcha bowl
  • Bamboo matcha whisk (chasen)

Instructions:

  • Preheat your matcha bowl: Pour hot water into the tea bowl, swirl it around to warm the sides, then discard the water.
  • Add 1-1.5 teaspoons of matcha powder to the warmed matcha Chawan.
  • Carefully pour 2-3 ounces of warm water (175°F or 80°C) over the matcha powder.
  • Using your bamboo whisk, whisk the matcha and water together in a zig-zag motion until a frothy layer forms on the surface.

Tip: The key to a perfect usucha is in the whisking! Whisk briskly and continuously until you achieve a smooth, frothy consistency with minimal lumps.

Remember: Making usucha is an art that takes practice. Adjust your Japanese green matcha powder and water quantities to find your perfect balance and preferred taste.

Care Instructions

Chawan Matcha Bowl

Wash gently with warm water and mild dish soap. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh detergents. Do not place it in the dishwasher or microwave. This will help prevent cracking or damage to the glaze. Allow the bowl to air dry completely before storing.

Bamboo Whisk (Chasen)

Rinse with warm water immediately after use to remove any matcha residue. Avoid soap or soaking the whisk, as it can damage the chasen bamboo matcha whisk. Shake off excess water and allow the whisk prongs to air dry in the whisk holder to maintain its shape. Store in a dry place to prevent mold or warping and help maintain them in perfect condition. Inspect the whisk regularly for the best results and replace it when the prongs become brittle or break.

Ceramic Whisk or Chasen Holder

Wipe clean with a damp cloth or rinse with mild soap and warm water. Ensure it is completely dry before placing the whisk on it.

Tip: To preserve the set's longevity and appearance, store it in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the matcha tools called?

Matcha tools are called chadōgu in Japanese. The key matcha tools are called;

  • Chasen: A bamboo whisk used to mix and froth matcha.
  • Chawan: A bowl for matcha with a broad base for whisking matcha properly.
  • Chashaku Spoon: A bamboo scoop used to measure matcha powder.
  • Furui: A sifter to remove clumps from matcha powder before whisking.

How should you store your matcha whisk?

The matcha whisk is one of the most essential matcha accessories. To maintain the integrity of the fine prongs of the whisk, it is highly recommended to keep it in a chasen holder. A chasen holder allows the whisk to retain its shape and air-dry naturally, which helps prolong its lifetime.

Are all the traditional accessories required to prepare a matcha drink?

Matcha is a traditional Japanese drink whose authenticity can be best experienced with all the matcha accessories. However, there are alternative ways to prepare and enjoy matcha. Instead of a traditional chawan, you can use any bowl with a wide base, and instead of a chasen, a milk frother can be used to achieve the creamy, frothy consistency that makes matcha enjoyable.

Can you whisk matcha in any bowl?

While you can whisk matcha in any bowl, using a proper matcha bowl is ideal. This bowl of matcha has a broad, rounded shape that facilitates easier whisking and helps prevent spills, ensuring the matcha is mixed thoroughly. Regular bowls may have sharp edges or be too narrow, which makes achieving the smooth, frothy texture required for an authentic matcha experience challenging. If you don't have a chawan, choose a mixing bowl with a wide, flat bottom and sufficient depth for effective whisking.
