Preparation & Care

Traditional Usucha (Thin Tea) Recipe

Ingredients:

1-1.5 tsp ceremonial grade matcha powder
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.
