How we brew it

Whisk it like we would.

Simple brew guides for matcha, hojicha and genmaicha — the way we make them at home.

Usucha / clear matcha

Whisk a clear cup

1
Sift
Sift matcha through a fine sieve into a warm bowl - no clumps.
2
Add water
Pour water just off the boil, then let it settle a moment.
3
Whisk
Quick W zig-zags, not circles, until a fine foam lifts.
4
Sip
Drink as Usucha / clear matcha, or pour over ice and top with milk for a latte.

Know your cup

Range guide

Compare the cup before you choose

Use the chart to compare umami, sweetness, colour, aroma and grade. Mu Hojicha and Dao Genmaicha sit beside the range as tea powders, so the choice stays clear.
