A Simple Daily Ritual
From traditional bowls to modern cups, matcha has been prepared in many ways over centuries.
What matters is understanding the intention behind each style.
Usucha (thin matcha) - daily ceremonial style
Add 2 bamboo scoops(chashaku) or 1-2g of matcha to a bowl.
Pour 60-80ml of hot water (75-80*C).
Whisk briskly using a bamboo whisk (chasen) in a gentle zig-zag motion.
Continue until light and foamy.
RESULT: Bright, balanced, and refreshing - with a smooth body, gentle umami, and a clean, lingering finish on the palate.
Modern Everyday Preperation
A simple, flexible method for preparing matcha at home, work, or on the go - without traditional tools.
Add 1-2g of matcha to a cup or shaker.
Add approximately 30ml of warm water.
Stir or shake until smooth.
Top up with water or milk to taste.

Dosage & Personal Taste
Matcha is personal.
A lighter bowl emphasises clarity and sweetness, while a stronger preperation brings depth and umami.
Begin gently and adjust to taste.
Care & Storage
Store matcha in a cool, dry place away from light.
Reseal tightly after use to preserve freshness
A Closing Note
Matcha is best enjoyed without rushing.
Whether prepared ceremonially or simply, the ritual invites a moment of pause
