Enjoy this benefit-packed tea’s traditional flavours the way it’s been sipped for thousands of years in Japan. • Flavoured matcha: From decadent & creamy to fresh & fruity – we use a higher quantity of flavoured matcha so that the sweetness of the blend and the vegetal notes of the green tea powder brew up perfectly balanced. This is a great place to start if you’re a matcha newbie. Step 2 Add warm water & form a paste With your matcha powder ready to go, it’s now time to fill your matcha bowl with 2 oz of warm water from a kettle and use a traditional bamboo whisk to whisk your matcha into a smooth, clump-free paste. Water temperature is one of the most important variables in steeping a consistently fresh-tasting cup of iced matcha. Keep it to a warm 75-85°C (170-185°F) so as to not burn your matcha powder and give it a bitter taste. Cooler water temp also means your matcha will froth up to that eye-catching jade colour. (75 C|170F for traditional and 85C|185F for flavoured matcha.) Don’t have a thermometer? Let your boiled kettle sit for 7-10 minutes before using. Step 3 Whisk to create froth Add another 2 oz of warm water to your matcha paste and start whisking to suspend the particles and incorporate some air into your drink. How to whisk matcha like a pro. Briskly whisk your matcha in an “M” formation going from the bottom of the bowl and working your way up towards the surface until the matcha reaches a smooth consistency and a layer of foam appears. Repeat until you get that vibrant Insta-worthy froth. PRO TIP: For an extra frothy matcha, soak the tips of your whisk in warm water before using. Step 4 Pour over ice & enjoy Fill your favourite 16 oz mug with ice, then pour in your frothed matcha green tea and fill with warm 75-85°C (170-185°F) water from the kettle.
