The Art of Preparing Matcha: Tools & Techniques

Brewing matcha is a mindful ritual — the right tools and techniques transform powder into a vibrant, frothy cup.

Essential tools for your ritual:

Chasen (bamboo whisk): Creates frothy, smooth texture

Chashaku (bamboo scoop): Measures the perfect portion

Matcha bowl (Chawan): Holds the water and powder

Step-by-step preparation:

1. Sift 1–2 tsp of matcha powder into your bowl

2. Add 60–80ml hot water (~80°C / 176°F)

3. Whisk in “M” or “W” motion until frothy

4. Enjoy immediately, savoring the aroma and texture

Pro tip: For iced matcha, whisk the powder with a small amount of water first, then pour over ice and milk.

Mastering the tools and techniques makes each cup a ceremony — a moment of calm in your day.
