How to prepare my matcha

Ready to take your tea ritual to the next level? At Yasumu Matcha, we believe preparing matcha isn’t just a routine—it’s a ritual that can shift the tone of your entire day. In this blog post, we’ll share a simple step-by-step guide to prepare our premium ceremonial-grade matcha for a calming experience.

What you need:

1–2 teaspoons of Yasumu Matcha powder

70–100 ml of hot water (not boiling, ideally around 80°C)

A bamboo whisk (chasen)

A matcha bowl (chawan) or a large cup

Optional: sweetener of your choice (honey, agave, or maple syrup) and milk for a matcha latte

Step-by-step instructions:

Sift the matcha powder
Start by sifting 1–2 teaspoons of Yasumu Matcha powder into your bowl. This helps remove clumps and creates a smooth, frothy drink.

Heat the water
Boil water and let it cool for a few minutes. The ideal temperature for matcha is about 80°C. Boiling water (100°C) can burn the delicate powder, so let it cool down a bit.

Add water
Pour 70–100 ml of hot water over the sifted matcha powder. You can adjust the amount to your taste—less water for a stronger flavor or more for a lighter brew.

Whisk it well
Use a bamboo whisk (chasen) to whisk the matcha in a zigzag motion (not circular) until it’s foamy and fully mixed.

Taste and adjust
Once whisked to your preferred consistency, take a sip. If you’d like it sweeter, add your favorite sweetener and whisk again. For a creamier drink, add some milk to make a matcha latte.

Serve and enjoy
Pour your beautifully prepared matcha into your favorite mug or drink straight from the bowl. Take a moment to appreciate the vibrant green color and aroma before your first sip.

Enjoy the moment
Sip your Yasumu Matcha mindfully. Slow down and enjoy every moment. This is your time to pause and reflect.
