Matcha Starter Kit

1. Sift with Intention – Sift 2–4 grams (1–2 teaspoons) of matcha into your bowl, adjusting to taste:

• 2g (1 tsp) – Traditional → Light & smooth, ideal for a classic matcha experience.
• 3g (1.5 tsp) – Signature → Richer and more full-bodied, perfect for those who prefer a deeper flavor.
• 4g (2 tsp) – Latte → Bold and robust, best for mixing with milk for a creamy matcha latte.

2. Perfect Temperature Matters – Add the initial 2 ounces of water at or below 176°F—never boiling, as excessive heat diminishes matcha’s delicate nuances.

3. Whisk to Perfection – Using a chasen (bamboo whisk), whisk vigorously in a zig-zag motion until the matcha is fully aerated and develops a fine froth—approximately 15 seconds.

4. Refine & Elevate – Adjust your final water or milk ratio based on matcha strength:

• Traditional (2g/1 tsp) → Add 2–4 oz water for a delicate, classic experience.
• Signature (3g/1.5 tsp) → Add 2–3 oz water and 1–2 oz milk for a creamier texture.
• Latte (4g/2 tsp) → Add 2 oz water and 4–6 oz milk for a smooth, velvety matcha latte.

Sifting is essential for the finest texture and most refined drinking experience.
