#Matcha #TasteTest - Jak na to + styl
I heard that the difference between culinary and ceremonial grade is actually with culinary they grind the whole leaf, stem and veins which gives it more of a tart, bitter taste and with ceremonial they grind just the leaf part which tastes better and makes it more smooth
ooh that’s so interesting! good to know :)
Usually ceremonial grade is younger leaves too which gives it more of the natural sweetness
How about the benefits?
ceremonial grade is shaded and culinary they usually skips the steps which also makes them less rich in nutrition
I'm new to matcha also. To me "ceremonial" MEANS ceremonial, and is something for special occasions lol. The "Everyday" matcha from Sencha Naturals, (not from Costco) has a blend of 1st & 2nd harvest leaves, so it makes a good, "everyday" option as the name implies. One "hack" I learned from a chef, is that even "culinary" matcha can taste fine as a regular tea if served 'iced," which dials back the extra bitterness. That way you can still get max health benefits, (as adding milk is said to tarnish them.)
Yessss, love matcha - I've been looking for a new matcha since I'm almost out of the one I have, and this was super helpful!
ahh happy to help!! thanks for watching 🥰
after learning so much from this video, im definitely investing in some ceremonial matcha 😌 thank you for inspiring my next addiction, jess!
ahh YAY!! always happy to convert ppl into matcha addicts 😎
Great video!! Really helped to clear up the confusion for tea drinkers. I was drinking the culinary type and now I know why I didn’t care for it as much. I just placed an order for MatchaBar!
awesome!! glad this was helpful 🤠
if you want to keep sifting matcha (or any powder really) without getting it around the glass, instead of shaking the sieve back and forth you can just hold it in place and stir the powder in small circles with the tip of a spoon
thanks for the tip! ☺️
I love the jade leaf!!!
I heard that using hot water to mix matcha will make it bitter. the good thing about it is that it does help mix it faster than cold water. I suggest u try experimenting and taste both to see the difference.
i liked this video! i don't really drink much matcha, but i did help out at a tea ceremony booth once at an event. for actual 茶道, there are a lot more specific rules you have to follow, and the tea is usually served in bowls instead of cups. it's great that you have the bamboo whisk though! btw, the "cha" in chasen and chashaku are both 茶 as in tea!
ahh that’s super interesting - thanks for your perspective and input here! i would love to learn more about tea ceremonies and the specific rules in the future ☺️ ty for watching!!
I’ve only ever had matcha as part of a dessert...now I’m gonna have to try it on its own 😄. Great Vid Jess! 💕
ahh yes definitely try it!! and thank you! 🥰
You need a matcha bowl that is bigger to whisk and a spoon to help it go thru the strainer
I just know that you're going to get a lot more subs someday 😌✨💓
ahh thank u sm!! 🥺
ah god bless u i’ve been trying to figure out which brands are the best
yayy happy to help!! ❤️
i love this video so MATCHA!! 💕🥰
hehe THANK U 🥺❤️
Video idea!! So I was thinking about how I usually see matcha drinks with milk/sweeteners so I wonder if the grassy flavor would be as much of an issue with that ~kinda~ covering it. Do you think you can make something along the lines of testing flavors (the different brands) of matcha with lattes or -however you would sweeten/“flavor” your matcha?
this is a great idea and i’d definitely be down to try this sometime!! ty 🥰
You should rly try flavored matcha as well. The peach matcha from david's tea soooo good 10/10 would recommend.
ahh that sounds so good!! i’ll definitely check that out, thanks for the suggestion ☺️
Agreed, that the culinary sencha one has seaweed on the nose, hard to get past it!
it’s rough 😭
Love your sweatshirt! A24 for the win!
Definitely Gona try some when I get the chance
yay!! 🥰
I have a question, can culinary matchas still give you the health benefits of matcha? (Antioxidants, l-theanine, cathequines, clean energy, etc..) even if it's in a smaller amount?
Thanks for this information! I personally LOVE the Jade leaf brand❤ unfortunately I also got the Costco bag because it was a good deal but I hate it😂😂. I don’t like to waste stuff so I’m trying to finish the bag, it’s literally taking months!!! Whenever I finish it I’ll go try the more expensive one/ the last one u tried. Thanks again for this video😊
What matcha powder do you beilieve starbucks uses .. cant find anywhere ... or maybe a very close comparable matcha i can buy ?
Hi, former Starbucks worker here! You can't really buy the matcha that starbucks uses. The provider specifically makes the matcha powder for Starbucks purposes.
If you want an alternative, just use matcha powder and mix it with sugar and milk powder. Not sure what ratio, you'll have to experiment. Afterwards, add that mixture to your choice of milk. At starbucks, we would use the shaker, but save yourself the pain and invest in a frother
Can you do a double-blindfold test between different american brands (sourced only from Japan) please? E.g. Trader Joes, Jade Leaf, SenCha, etc. And a value comparison between them please?
watching this because I want to buy either jade leaf or the sencha from Costco but for the price and amount, probably the sencha ahah. Anyways thanks for the review, also loved Claires brownies recipe too.
sencha is definitely a better bang for your buck! and thank you i’m glad you enjoyed that too 🥰
My concern about wanted to buy this matcha in Costco thing I really to know do this drink taste like matcha starbuck
I believe the Sencha brand is a combination of 1st & 2nd harvest (ceremonial & premium). So technically it’s not consider a culinary matcha. Cheers😊
It does say its 1st and 2nd so I decided to order some for daily drinking tea since most brand name teas are junk and not organic or from Japan. ANY tea from China has found to have as much as 29 pesticides in it including illegally used pesticides.
can you do a Vietnamese coffee tutorial next?? btw, big fan!
hmmm i’ll think abt it 😗🤔😎
Ceremonial grade is first harvest.
You have a lot of water in there for only 1/2 tsp
one more vote for jade leaf culinary that's the one I have been using for the past 2 years!
Omg my parents also def bought that sencha one from Costco...
HAHAHA great minds think alike 🤠
I drink ceremonial great Matcha at home every day. The way you’re whisking the Matcha is incorrect. You need to whisk in a ball and whisk really fast to create a nice froth on top of the Matcha. The froth makes it really creamy and taste delicious.
You have the same accent as Kim Wexler from Better call Saul😊
The matcha will become frothy on top if you use a matcha bowl, instead of a drinking glass.
definitely want to invest in a nice matcha bowl soon!
this video is helpful but girl the way you sift...
Get smaller sifter
Very swag
U are swag 😎
I am a big matcha drinker and would never drink the culinary matchas
I recommend using a microphone for your content :)
sis ... just press the spoon against the sift, you are wasting the powders
LOL wait that’s a good idea... okay definitely next time (or i’ll just buy an actual tea strainer lmao)
You are completely WRONG. The terms, "Ceremonial Grade", and "Culinary Grade", and anything else of a similar Label Nature, is just MADE UP by whoever put it on their Container. There is NO SUCH THING in JAPAN, as those terms are Completely UNREGULATED by the Japanese Government. Anybody can label their Tea, anything that they want to, and everybody in Japan KNOWS THIS. And now, SO DO YOU. So, just IGNORE those terms. They mean NOTHING. The ONLY REAL Way to Evaluate Matcha, or any other Japanese Tea, is for you to get a Sample of whatever one (or more) you want to Evaluate, Brew it Up, and then do the Usual, Color, Aroma, Texture, Taste, Price, Value, and After Effects evaluation. Many Tea Companies have SAMPLER SETS you can get, with most, if not all, of their Offerings, for You To Try, in the hopes you will like one or more of them, and PLACE AN ORDER, so they Made a SALE. But, you have to ASK. Anyway, just IGNORE those terms. Pretend they don't even EXIST. The ONLY REGULATION that the Japanese Government has on Tea is you MUST use Tea Leaves actually GROWN in your Local Area, if you're going to use it in a product you're going to sell, that's ID'ed as, KYOTO Tea, for example. You CANNOT use Tea Leaves from KAGOSHIMA, for example, in your KYOTO Product, and pretend it's a KYOTO Item, Those days are LONG GONE, and ILLEGAL now. And EVERYBODY Knows that too. So, now, SO DO YOU. v/r "The TEA Spectator" :o)
Love asians ...
