Our Homare Ceremonial Matcha was produced for us in Uji Japan. We were seeking a ceremonial grade matcha that displayed a balance of sweet and savory while showcasing something different. We fell in love with this one because not only is it smooth with a comforting rich body, it displays a lingering floral sweetness that makes it distinctive from other matcha of this grade.

Weight: 1oz matcha packed in nitrogen flushed tin

Brewing instructions

Here are traditional brewing instructions for preparing matcha, perfect for capturing its rich flavor and smooth, frothy texture:

1. Prepare the Tools
  • Matcha Bowl (Chawan)

    : A wide, shallow bowl allows for easier whisking
  • Matcha Whisk (Chasen): A bamboo whisk helps create the signature froth

  • Matcha Scoop (Chashaku): A bamboo scoop is traditional, though a measuring spoon works too

2. Measure the Matcha
  • Sift 1-2 grams of matcha (about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon) into the bowl. Sifting prevents clumps and ensures a smooth, creamy texture.
3. Add Water
  • Heat water to 160°F to 175°F (70°C to 80°C). Avoid boiling water, as it can make the matcha taste bitter.
  • Pour about 2 ounces (60 mL) of hot water into the bowl with the matcha powder.
4. Whisk the Matcha
  • Hold the whisk loosely and whisk vigorously in an “M” or “W” motion. This will help to incorporate air and create a layer of fine, creamy foam.
  • Continue whisking for about 20-30 seconds until the surface is frothy and smooth.
5. Enjoy Immediately
  • Matcha is best enjoyed immediately after whisking to fully appreciate its rich flavor and creamy texture.

For a thinner matcha, you can add a little more hot water (3-4 ounces), while for a thicker matcha (Koicha), use less water and more matcha powder. Adjust based on preference, and enjoy this mindful, luxurious tea experience!
