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 bowl, swirl it around to warm the sides, then discard the water.
  • Add 1-1.5 teaspoons of matcha powder to the warmed bowl.
  • 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 matcha powder and water quantities to find your perfect balance and preferred taste. Enjoy your cup of matcha by taking small sips!

Care Instructions

Store your matcha in a cool, dry place to maintain optimal freshness. Once opened, refrigeration is recommended to preserve its vibrant color and delicate flavor. Ensure the pouch is tightly sealed to lock in the aroma and prevent moisture.

Ceremonial Matcha From Japan’s Pristine Gardens

Crafted from the first harvest spring leaves, our ceremonial matcha is a powerhouse of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. Sourced from Japan's pristine, shade-grown tea gardens, our pure matcha tea is ideal for traditional Japanese tea ceremonies or satisfying your everyday matcha cravings.

The shade-growing process enhances the L-theanine content, an amino acid crucial for matcha's signature umami flavor. First harvest matcha, known for its highest L-theanine levels, produces the most flavorful tea compared to later harvests.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does first harvest matcha tea taste like?

First harvest matcha has a delicate, vibrant flavor profile characterized by its natural sweetness, rich umami, 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.

Does matcha powder give an energy lift?

Yes, matcha powder can provide an energy lift. Unlike coffee, which can lead to a rapid spike and crash in energy levels, matcha offers a more sustained boost because of its combination of natural caffeine and L-theanine, an amino acid. L-theanine also helps maintain calm energy and focus.

Is ceremonial grade matcha worth it?

Yes, ceremonial-grade matcha is definitely worth it, especially for those who appreciate a high-quality matcha tea experience. This grade is made from the youngest, most tender leaves of the Camellia Sinensis plant, resulting in a smoother, more refined flavor with a vibrant green color. It has a naturally sweet taste with minimal bitter flavor and rich umami notes, which makes it perfect for matcha recipes.

How to make traditional matcha?

To make traditional matcha, you'll need to whisk matcha powder with hot water (around 175°F or 80°C) in a bowl using a bamboo whisk until frothy. This creates a smooth, vibrant green tea with a slightly bitter and umami flavor.
