Green tea

Everything about drinking Matcha is a treat. Its shocking chlorophyll green color is beautiful and will give you an instant mental lift, its flavor is mellow, its health benefits countless and the ceremony of making it will bring a sense of ritual to your life. In fact, Matcha is the centerpiece of a traditional Japanese tea ceremony.

You might not have a tea master at hand who will lead you through a proper ceremony, but you can easily recreate the experience at home, in a matter of just a couple of meditative minutes. Blended with soy milk and poured over ice, it's our favorite new way to stay cool on hot summer days.

How To Prepare Matcha Green Tea:

Traditionally, a tea master will measure the Matcha with a chashaku (bamboo spoon) and place it into achawan (serving bowl). Hot water is added and the mixture is whisked with a chasen (bamboo whisk) until you see fine bubbles.

At home, you can simply measure a heaping teaspoon, place it into a Japanese ceramic bowl, add enough water for one cup and whisk it until frothy. Whip it until any "dama" (small lumps of tea) are completely broken up. You can enjoy your Matcha either as "thick tea" called koicha (less water) or usucha ("thin tea", more water). It's best to drink it straight from the bowl before the sediment has a chance to settle to the bottom.
