Step 1 - Warm bowl and whisk
Fill your tea bowl with hot or warm water to warm the bowl. Then, place the Chasen (i.e. matcha whisk) in this water for 30 seconds to loosen the bamboo, then discard the water.
Step 2 - Scoop
Using the tea scoop, scoop approximately 1 tsp (2-4g) of your Hoshicha matcha powder onto a sift before into the bowl. This breaks up clumps and creates a smoother consistency.
Step 3 - Pour hot water
Depending on how thick you want your tea, pour 1.7-2.3oz (50-70ml) of hot water over the matcha powder. The water should be between 160-175°F (71-79°C), not boiling. Boiling water will burn the matcha and make it taste bitter.
Step 4 - Whisk
Using your Chasen, whisk the matcha rapidly and lightly in zig-zag motions instead of traditional circular motions until the powder is fully incorporated. Once a foam appears on the surface of your matcha, you may stop whisking.
Step 5 - Enjoy
Your matcha tea is now ready to be enjoyed.
