Instructions

1. Warm the bowl and whisk
   • Fill the bowl with hot water.
   • Soak the bamboo whisk for 30 seconds to soften the tines.
   • Empty the bowl and dry it.
2. Sift the matcha
   • Sift 2 grams of matcha into the bowl to remove clumps.
3. Add hot water
   • Pour in 2–3 ounces of water heated to 160–175°F (70–80°C).
   • Avoid boiling water, which can make the tea bitter.
4. Whisk
   • Hold the bowl steady.
   • Whisk rapidly in a “W” or “M” motion using your wrist (not your whole arm) for about 15–20 seconds.
   • Finish by gently lifting the whisk through the center to create a smooth layer of fine foam.
5. Enjoy immediately
   • Drink directly from the bowl while the foam is fresh.
