It is a moment of stillness, focus, and intention.

HISTORY OF MATCHA

The Ancient Art of Tea

Matcha isn’t just a trend. Its history dates back nearly a thousand years to a time when dynasties ruled China and Shogun clans ruled Japan. The origins of matcha can be traced all the way back to the Tang Dynasty in China (7th - 10th centuries). In 1191 it was brought from China to Japan by a Buddhist monk.

ONE

Bring yourself into the present moment and focus your awareness on the tools before you: water heated to 80°C, matcha, whisking bowl, sifter, scoop, whisk, and whisk stand.

TWO

SHIFT

Using your scoop, place one scoop (1-1.5 tsp) of matcha into your sifter, over the whisking bowl. Use the scoop to help push the matcha through the sifter. Add 60 ml of 80°C water into the whisking bowl atop the sifted powder.

THREE

WHISK

With your bamboo whisk, begin briskly whisking the matcha and water mixture. Move the whisk in a "W" or "M" formation to create froth. Continue whisking until the matcha is thoroughly mixed into the water and no clumps remain. At this point, there should be a nice froth created on top.
