      How to Brew

      Koicha: Sift 4g of matcha into your bowl. Gently add 15 to 30ml of hot water and whisk in circular motions until smooth and clump-free, forming a thick paste. Enjoy!

      Usucha:  Sift 2g of matcha into your bowl. Gently add 90ml of hot water and whisk in a “W” motion until you achieve a creamy consistency and a fine foam appears. Enjoy!

      Latte: Sift 4 to 6g of matcha into your bowl. Add 30ml of water and whisk in circular motions until smooth and clump-free, forming a thick paste. Gently add 20ml of hot water and whisk in a “W” motion until you achieve a creamy consistency and a fine foam appears.

      To finish, lightly glide your whisk across the surface to smooth the texture and break large bubbles, then lift it gently from the center.

      For an iced latte, pour 100ml of your desired milk into a glass with ice. For a hot latte, steam 100ml of your desired milk into a mug.

      Pour your prepared matcha over your milk, mix, and enjoy!
