How to prepare Ceremonial Matcha
The preparation and consumption of Ceremonial Matcha are steeped in centuries-old traditions, particularly in Japanese tea ceremonies. These ceremonies are not just about drinking tea but are a meditative practice that fosters mindfulness and appreciation of the present moment.
The process involves specific tools and steps:
- The Chawan (Tea Bowl): A ceramic bowl used to whisk and drink the Matcha.
- The Chasen (Bamboo Whisk): A delicate bamboo whisk used to mix the Matcha powder with hot water, creating a frothy, smooth tea.
- The Chashaku (Tea Scoop): A bamboo scoop used to measure the perfect amount of Matcha powder.
To prepare Ceremonial Matcha, one traditionally adds a teaspoon of Matcha to the Chawan, pours in a small amount of hot water (around 80ºC), and whisks vigorously until the tea is frothy. More water or a plant-based beverage can then be added to achieve the desired consistency. This tea can be enjoyed hot or cold with ice.

Matcha green tea is rich in antioxidants, particularly EGCG, which helps combat oxidative stress by neutralizing free radicals. It also has anti-inflammatory properties due to the naturally occurring catechin.
