How to make Matcha (Traditional Japanese Green Tea)
How to make a cup/bowl of Matcha.
Recipe:
3 to 4 grams of Matcha if you are making "Usucha (or Ousu)"
5 to 6 grams of Matcha if you are making "Koicha"
1/3 a cup (or 60ml to 70 ml) of hot water at 80 degrees centigrade (176 F)
Both Usucha and Koicha are proper Matcha, but the difference is in how much tea you "can" use without making the Matcha bitter. In general, Koicha is the more expensive matcha, which is suited for a thick rich bowl of matcha. Usucha, is the lesser expensive, more common matcha, and is suited for a lighter (thinner) bowls of matcha.

I use the end of my spook as a scoop and throw it in a cup with hot water🤭 Only now got a matcha set. I out on Classical music and make it just to feel peaceful
This was very straightforward and easy to follow, thank you. I also appreciate how you explain why you do things a certain way, so it makes sense.
Beautiful tea making. I will have to try this.
they did this in karate kid part 2
Beautiful
No time for ceremonies, one would just like some tea please.
I’m confused by the tablespoon. While you said tablespoon, what you used looks more like the size of a teaspoon to me. Can you explain?
Any clue what brand of matcha they drink in japan as here have stupid level systems like ceremonial, presidential, premium grade matcha. And yellow green, green and bright green tea? Anyone care to answer which one is the best one that my Japanese or Chinese brothers and sisters drink over there?
I feel like most people in western world think that Matcha is always this fine art, however when I went to Japan, almost every restaurant had Matcha in big jugs at every table. My Japanese friend said her family usually just mix matcha powder and hot water with a spoon at home
this is confirmed in the comments here, people asking a million questions as if this is not simple enough... widespread mental issues
Well sure, every cultural food and drink can be made in a value size and easy for families bc the real deal takes more time, is more expensive, and requires more effort. Just like Mexican horchata comes in concentrate or lemondade concentrate is most common. But there is not question that a tea ceremony exists for making matcha and there is no problem with people wanting to learn about it’s history and enjoy it.

@@beattrixer7947 there’s a ton of good matcha brands. But my Japanese friend said Tsujiri is one that everybody knows over there
Well thats just a loss of tradition.
who come from spotlight ?

Thank you for this informative video!

Matcha is Bad taste!
because you having cooking / baking grade matcha which is lower grade and just to make something taste like matcha not those ceremonial grade Matcha which is whole different level stuff (taste/quality/price) higher grade matcha can cost around 80USD for 100 gram and cooking grade you can get it at bakery store as low as 5 USD for 100gram
@@aidentk5158 I'm using $ 28 matcha for 40 grams..lol
Ok, so I came here bc in other how to's I've seen there's an extra step at the end that I don't know if it's legit or not: do you add more hot water after whisking? Or do you just drink it like that? Also: if preparing tea for a larger group, would you do this for each individual? Or do you prepare one large batch and then portion it off. . . . ? Do you pour from the bowl you made it in into individual cups? Or ladle?
my goodness just drink the damn tea
They make a bowl for each person. And no hot water after mixing. That is after drinking it to clean the bowl. Ignore that rude comment and enjoy learning more about traditional matcha
Thank you kindly for this fine guidance. Bless you, Japan 🇯🇵 ❤

i’m watching this video while drink matcha 🍵 w🍓🍵🍵🍵
SO why do you have to moisten the whisk and why do you have to clean the bowl after swapping around hot water?
Warming the bowl gets the tea ready for the hot water. It kind of "opens up" the tea if that makes sense. You don't technically have to dry the bowl, but since matcha is an extremely fine powder it will stick to everything. Just makes life easier.
moisten the whisk before is for soften the bamboo whisk abit so it won't break/crack so easily
So, do you drink from the cup you prepare the matcha in, or does one portion it into another drinking vessel?
I was wondering that as well.
Why yes! If you're partaking as guest in the Chadō (茶道) Ceremony, that is.. Chadō is the 'ritual for the Path of Tea', btw.
It it served in cups, not a whisking bowl. Typically, Most, or many people just use a tea mug and spoon matcha into it, add water, and stir with the spoon. Making matcha this way is more of a morning meditative experience. Worth doing though.
Wait, I thought I ordered a venti triple soy matcha latte three pumps of vanilla? What is this supposed to be? ;)
How often can you brew the leaves?
Do you drink from the bowl too? Or pour it?
Pour it into drinking cups
is the whisk rinsed after it's used?
Yes
Thank you thank you. You gotta warm your whisk and bowl! Essential!
Wow the color on that matcha is very vibrant.
Thank you for making an actual guide I'm so frustrated trying to find an actual guide, most of the time people don't take proper care of their whisk and don't measure the liquid they use they just throw in any random amount of scalding hot water and act like its fine to not care for your wooden tools.
boiling water may destroy the compounds within matcha so you may have reduced caffeine, theanine, and anti oxidants. you can use hot water but generally i use room temperature water, it's slower but it retains everything.
So extra. This video could have been 30 seconds
This is a 1000+ year old tea ceremony. Don't be a bitch.
This is exactly what I was looking for! 🍵
@Ridge Tristan bot?
Without milk… true
The Japanese elevate everything to an art form don't they?
I need to visit Japan. 😭
That’s the WHOLE POINT
They learned from the Chinese

What a beautiful bowl
The music is so good and meditating
Thank you. Couldn’t stand these over caffeinated westies tell me about Japanese matcha.
The whole time I was prepared for the all hell to break loose with sword fighting ninjas vs samurais and lots of sakura flowers falling...
Not funny
Was it the music?
Thank you for sharing🙏
Can i put sugar in it ?
The way this respectable woman whisked was breathtaking, and with a posture second to none.
I did drink it by boiling the leaves with the water
Just how I remember it
I was under the impression that sencha was more of an everyday tea drunk in larger yunomi cups. Isn't gyokuro and matcha the fancier green teas?
They are not adding sugar in it?
No. Why would you add sugar in it?
@@uadhlagash7280 People that do not know about it I guess hear the word tea and think sugar or people that used to rubbish Matcha latte from starbucks with ten cups of sugar in it
He said sugar. High quality matcha doesn’t need any sweetener.
@@adimurray2273 most people think matcha how is taste like actually not what they thinking commercial grade matcha is different with ceremonial grade Matcha by A LOT
Those are half empty not half full.
Hmm just 25 ml water ? lol I use mostly 150 ml and 3 teaspoons of gyokoru
imagine been in the other room waiting for your tea " tf is taking so long"
I thought it was 2 scoops for usucha, and 4 scoops in 40 ml water for koicha (thick type)
Beautifully decorated nice😍
Beautifully decorated nice😍
Im just here for the mixing thing i just love how they uae that to mix
smells like cooked spinach to me
Hy teaofjapan, this is a really useful and practical video I love it. I would highly recommend anyone to try some good quality matcha powder because it while surprise you like everyone else. I am drinking matcha regularly for the past seven years, and my biggest concern was finding a good tea shop that has consistently good matcha, and finally, after a long time, I found a right place. Every time I ordered from them they sent me a premium quality product, and believe me, in my 7 years experience of drinking matcha I can tell the difference between good one and a bad one. They ship there product directly from Japan as it should be because there are not any other matches than the Japanese one. Their matcha is organic, and radiation tested which is both really important. If you don't know where should you buy matcha just visit this site because they sell only good quality matcha made by them...www.goldmatcha.com?u=7949cd
