How do you use a matcha bowl?

Preparing matcha tea in a matcha bowl is fairly simple, but there are some important steps. These steps are important to get the best flavour and texture. These steps are based on making matcha for 1 person.

1. Take 2 scoops of matcha powder and gently shake it through a strainer into the matcha bowl. By sifting the matcha, you prevent lumps from forming in the tea.
2. Add about 15 millilitres of water to the matcha. Do not use boiling water, as this can have a negative effect on the flavour. Use about 80-degree water.
3. Then it's time to whisk the matcha with the whisk. Make M and W movements until you get a nice layer of foam on the matcha.
4. Serve the delicious matcha in the matcha bowl. The matcha bowl is not only useful for preparing the tea, but also for serving.

Enjoy the delicious matcha alone or together. In fact, it is also great to share this matcha experience with friends or family too. Whether you are throwing a party or just enjoying a cup of matcha tea, the matcha bowl makes it all just that little bit more special.
