How to prepare your matcha
Hot or iced, plain or indulgent: matcha can be prepared in a thousand ways. All our recipes start with the same simple and quick base.
The base: whisked matcha
- Measure: sift 2 g of matcha into a bowl, which is two Chashaku scoops. Sifting prevents lumps.
- Pour: add water at approximately 75°C, never boiling. Let the water sit for a few minutes after boiling.
- Whisk: whisk by drawing an "M" for about twenty seconds, with a flexible wrist, until a fine foam forms.
The amount of water changes depending on the recipe: 70 ml for a plain matcha, 40 ml for a latte base.
1. Plain matcha (hot)
The purest way to enjoy it. Ideal with Ceremonial N°1.
- Whisk 2 g of matcha with 70 ml of water at 75°C.
- Enjoy immediately, while the foam is still there.
2. Iced matcha
Fresh and light, for sunny days.
- Whisk 2 g of matcha with 40 ml of water at 75°C.

3. Hot matcha latte
Smooth and comforting. Ideal with Everyday or Latte Blend.

Sweet version: add 1 to 2 tablespoons of syrup to the cup before pouring the milk. Vanilla, caramel, hazelnut, honey, or maple syrup: the choice is yours.
4. Iced matcha latte
The most popular, and the prettiest in the glass.
