Craft and origin

Brewing and use cases

Ideal for usucha and for flavor packed matcha lattes. The powder dissolves smoothly with a gentle whisk, delivering a creamy texture without chalkiness.

To enjoy consistent results, start with about 2 g of matcha per cup and 160 to 175°F water. Whisk in an upward and downward M motion for 15 to 20 seconds until a smooth microfoam forms.
