Ceremonial Matcha, Organic

Recipe

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:

• Chawan (tea bowl): A ceramic bowl used to whisk and drink the Matcha.
• Chasen (bamboo whisk): A delicate bamboo whisk used to mix the Matcha powder with hot water, creating a frothy, smooth tea.
• 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.
