Making matcha tea - a guide to the perfect cup

Matcha tea is not just a drink - it is a ritual, a moment of peace and a strong ally of a healthy lifestyle. Unlike classic green tea, the whole tea leaf is used in matcha - powdered, which means that we get more antioxidants, energy and benefits for the body and mind.

What is matcha tea?

Matcha is a fine powder obtained from specially grown green tea leaves. The leaves are grown in the shade, carefully picked and ground into powder. You can see more about this on the blog What is matcha tea- https://www.matcha4me.com/post/%C5%A1ta-je-matcha

That's why matcha:

provides constant energy without a sudden drop,

it is rich in antioxidants (especially EGCG), supports focus, calmness and active metabolism.

What is needed for preparation?

The classic preparation of matcha tea requires very few ingredients:

1–2 g matcha powder (½–1 level teaspoon)

60-80 ml warm water (not boiling)

bowl or cup

whisk (chasen) or small hand mixer

The ideal water temperature is 70–80°C. Water that is too hot can make matcha bitter.

First, pour some hot water into the cup, shake it and pour it - to warm the cup.

Add matcha powder to the cup - add ½ to 1 teaspoon of matcha powder.

Then add a small amount of water (60-80 ml).

Whisk the matcha with a whisk or whisk in quick “M” or “W” motions until you have a smooth, frothy texture with no lumps.

Matcha is ready for consumption immediately - without straining and waiting.

How to adjust the taste?

If you're just getting started with matcha, you can:

add a little more water for a milder taste, use vegetable milk (coconut, almond... ) and make a matcha latte, add a little honey or agave syrup.

Matcha latte – a popular alternative

For the creamy version:

prepare the matcha according to the procedure described above, heat and whisk 150-200 ml of vegetable or cow's milk, then combine it with the matcha and sweeten if desired.

Enjoy! 🍵
