Thank you for making an actual guide I'm so frustrated trying to find an actual guide, most of the time people don't take proper care of their whisk and don't measure the liquid they use they just throw in any random amount of scalding hot water and act like its fine to not care for your wooden tools.
boiling water may destroy the compounds within matcha so you may have reduced caffeine, theanine, and anti oxidants. you can use hot water but generally i use room temperature water, it's slower but it retains everything.
I feel like most people in western world think that Matcha is always this fine art, however when I went to Japan, almost every restaurant had Matcha in big jugs at every table. My Japanese friend said her family usually just mix matcha powder and hot water with a spoon at home
Well sure, every cultural food and drink can be made in a value size and easy for families bc the real deal takes more time, is more expensive, and requires more effort. Just like Mexican horchata comes in concentrate or lemondade concentrate is most common. But there is not question that a tea ceremony exists for making matcha and there is no problem with people wanting to learn about it’s history and enjoy it.
Any clue what brand of matcha they drink in japan as here have stupid level systems like ceremonial, presidential, premium grade matcha. And yellow green, green and bright green tea? Anyone care to answer this.
I use the end of my spook as a scoop and throw it in a cup with hot water🤭 Only now got a matcha set. I out on Classical music and make it just to feel peaceful

Warming the bowl gets the tea ready for the hot water. It kind of "opens up" the tea if that makes sense. You don't technically have to dry the bowl, but since matcha is an extremely fine powder it will stick to everything. Just makes life easier.
Ok, so I came here bc in other how to's I've seen there's an extra step at the end that I don't know if it's legit or not: do you add more hot water after whisking? Or do you just drink it like that? Also: if preparing tea for a larger group, would you do this for each individual? Or do you prepare one large batch and then portion it off. . . . ? Do you pour from the bowl you made it in into individual cups? Or ladle?
They make a bowl for each person. And no hot water after mixing. That is after drinking it to clean the bowl. Ignore that rude comment and enjoy learning more about traditional matcha
It it served in cups, not a whisking bowl. Typically, Most, or many people just use a tea mug and spoon matcha into it, add water, and stir with the spoon. Making matcha this way is more of a morning meditative experience. Worth doing though.
I do not make a habit of critiquing videos but I do wish to say this video could be made perfect if you had some nice traditional music and if the typed information was not over the main subject of your video. Maybe at the top of the screen would better. Thank you for sharing this with us.
At least son this video it's an actual tea ceremony and a Japanese lady making it. Other videos are pretentious because they show random people who want to just drink the tea but still insist on traditional preparation methods.
@@uadhlagash7280 People that do not know about it I guess hear the word tea and think sugar or people that used to rubbish Matcha latte from starbucks with ten cups of sugar in it
@@Nuwolf-j9v most people think matcha how is taste like actually not what they thinking commercial grade matcha is different with ceremonial grade Matcha by A LOT
Ok. I usually strongly criticize non-Japanese people and people who aren't actually doing the real tea ceremony when they insist on a particular matcha preparation method. These are Japanese aesthetic traditions. They're not necessary when you want to simply prepare and make matcha tea. Use any bowl, any kind of whisk or mixer to introduce bubbles, and put any sugar or milk you want into it. Use rational common sense and don't pretend to be Japanese when you aren't.
Some people like the feeling and idea of using actual Japanese tools to prepare matcha and I don't know why that bothers you. Let people do what they want instead of criticising them. You go on any Japanese website selling matcha powder they typically always sell matcha making tools so I don't even think a regular Japanese person would find it weird if a non Japanese use traditional tools.
@@connorward409 No. We should criticize anything that bothers us otherwise there is no progress of any kind and we are stuck with dumb traditions like using a particular tool to make a tea. The point is there literally is no sense in using traditional Japanese tools to make tea. It is the end result that matters. And of course sites that sell matcha will also be selling tools. They make a lot of money off selling them.
@@StopFear What progress is made by criticizing people from using tools to make a type of tea.. and who is "Us"? I can't think of a single person who is upset or bothered by Non Japanese using Japanese tools to make Japanese tea. You're very bored obviously to be upset by this. I'm sure you can make the tea without Japanese items but they are designed literally for that purpose. Let people do what they want, Jesus. It's tea making.
because you having cooking / baking grade matcha which is lower grade and just to make something taste like matcha not those ceremonial grade Matcha which is whole different level stuff (taste/quality/price) higher grade matcha can cost around 80USD for 100 gram and cooking grade you can get it at bakery store as low as 5 USD for 100gram
