How to Make Matcha

Your matcha is about finding the balance of flavors that you personally enjoy. Experiment with different ratios of matcha to water until you discover your favorite.

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.

Benefits Of Matcha

  • ANTIOXIDANTS

    Matcha is a powerhouse of antioxidants, boasting a concentration of catechins. These antioxidants help combat oxidative stress and reduce inflammation.

  • CLEAN ENERGY

    The blend of caffeine and L-theanine in matcha provides sustained energy and focus without the crash often associated with coffee.

  • HEART HEALTH

    Regular matcha consumption can lower cholesterol, decrease blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease.

  • IMMUNE FUNCTION

    Matcha's antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and anti-inflammatory properties support overall health and well-being.

  • PROMOTES HEALTHY SKIN

    Matcha's antioxidants, particularly EGCG, protect the skin from UV damage. Vitamin C brightens skin and enhances collagen production.

  • WEIGHT MANAGEMENT

    Matcha can aid in weight loss and management by boosting metabolism when combined with a balanced diet and active lifestyle.
