Notes & rituals
Antioxidants & catechins
Green tea leaves are naturally rich in catechins, a family of plant polyphenols. Among them is EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), the most studied catechin in tea.
Because matcha is milled from the whole leaf and whisked directly into water — rather than steeped and strained — you enjoy the leaf and its naturally occurring compounds in the cup.
Caffeine & L-theanine
Matcha naturally contains caffeine and L-theanine, an amino acid associated with alertness and attention.
Everyone's sensitivity is different — a traditional bowl, whisked with less powder and more water, is a gentle way to begin.
Preparation & serving
A bamboo whisk (chasen), a fine sift and a wide, warm bowl are the traditional tools — they make the foam effortless.
Serve usucha (thin tea) in a wide bowl, or pour whisked matcha over ice with your choice of milk for something modern.
The way of tea
Whisked matcha arrived in Japan with Zen monks, for whom the bowl of tea was a moving meditation.
From this practice grew chadō — the way of tea — a ceremony in which every gesture, utensil and guest is considered.
Its spirit is ichigo ichie: one time, one meeting. Each bowl happens once.
How to prepare — hot & iced
Hot (usucha): sift 2.5 g (two bamboo scoops) into a warm bowl. Add 70 ml of water at about 80°C. Whisk briskly in an M motion until a fine foam forms, then drink at once.
Iced matcha latte: whisk matcha with a splash of warm water until smooth, pour over a tall glass of ice, and top with your choice of milk.
