- 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.

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

@Ridge Tristan bot?
Without milk… true
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.
Wow the color on that matcha is very vibrant.
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.
Thank you kindly for this fine guidance.
Bless you, Japan 🇯🇵 ❤
i loved this tea ceremony, so relaxing .thank you
Wow , thank you !! Love the step by step 🙌🙏💝🙋👏👏👏👏👏
What a beautiful bowl
Very nice! Thank you for sharing this.
Beautiful tea making. I will have to try this.
That is one fine ass quality matcha. Super vibrant green and frothy!
Beautifully decorated nice😍
Thank you thank you. You gotta warm your whisk and bowl! Essential!
The music is so good and meditating
Im just here for the mixing thing i just love how they uae that to mix
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.
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 this.
@@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.
Art!!
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
My favorite drink!
ok sir this is very nice , i am need now tea and thank you for sharing this
Beautiful
Thank you for sharing🙏
The way this respectable woman whisked was breathtaking, and with a posture second to none.
Just how I remember it
i’m watching this video while drink matcha 🍵 w🍓🍵🍵🍵

Thank you!
Thank you for this informative video!
I thought it was 2 scoops for usucha, and 4 scoops in 40 ml water for koicha (thick type)
Sorry to hear about your copyright issues with this video. Copying is not theft.
No time for ceremonies, one would just like some tea please.

Who else came here after watching Samurai Jack make tea
eric eguia Damn, never thought i meet someone who loves terrible tea too.
i came here after watching karate kid part 2
is the whisk rinsed after it's used?
Yes
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
Do you drink from the bowl too? Or pour it?
Pour it into drinking cups
Wait, I thought I ordered a venti triple soy matcha latte three pumps of vanilla? What is this supposed to be? ;)
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
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.
By the the time it's ready, it's lunch time
Its just 3 mins

Can i put sugar in it ?
I do not make a habit of critiquing videos but I do wish to say this video could be made perfect if you had some nice traditional music and if the typed information was not over the main subject of your video. Maybe at the top of the screen would better. Thank you for sharing this with us.
they did this in karate kid part 2
imagine been in the other room waiting for your tea " tf is taking so long"
who come from spotlight ?
Thank you. Couldn’t stand these over caffeinated westies tell me about Japanese matcha.
At least son this video it's an actual tea ceremony and a Japanese lady making it. Other videos are pretentious because they show random people who want to just drink the tea but still insist on traditional preparation methods.
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
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?
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. I usually strongly criticize non-Japanese people and people who aren't actually doing the real tea ceremony when they insist on a particular matcha preparation method. These are Japanese aesthetic traditions. They're not necessary when you want to simply prepare and make matcha tea. Use any bowl, any kind of whisk or mixer to introduce bubbles, and put any sugar or milk you want into it. Use rational common sense and don't pretend to be Japanese when you aren't.
StopFear But... we want to be zen.
What's wrong with appreciating and practicing a certain culture tho? Calm down gemma😂
Some people like the feeling and idea of using actual Japanese tools to prepare matcha and I don't know why that bothers you. Let people do what they want instead of criticising them. You go on any Japanese website selling matcha powder they typically always sell matcha making tools so I don't even think a regular Japanese person would find it weird if a non Japanese use traditional tools.
@@connorward409 No. We should criticize anything that bothers us otherwise there is no progress of any kind and we are stuck with dumb traditions like using a particular tool to make a tea.
The point is there literally is no sense in using traditional Japanese tools to make tea. It is the end result that matters. And of course sites that sell matcha will also be selling tools. They make a lot of money off selling them.
@@StopFear What progress is made by criticizing people from using tools to make a type of tea.. and who is "Us"? I can't think of a single person who is upset or bothered by Non Japanese using Japanese tools to make Japanese tea. You're very bored obviously to be upset by this. I'm sure you can make the tea without Japanese items but they are designed literally for that purpose. Let people do what they want, Jesus. It's tea making.
So extra. This video could have been 30 seconds
This is a 1000+ year old tea ceremony. Don't be a bitch.
Beautifully decorated nice😍
