#13 Matcha






Today I made matcha green tea using the tea set I bought from Cha An (茶奄) in New York last weekend. Here are some steps to the basic art of making tea:

bring to boil 2 cups of purified water at medium heat
let the water cool to about 80 degrees Celsius by opening the lid a little
measure 1.5g of matcha powder
use only about 120cc of water and pour gently into the teacup
use a tea brush and start swirling the bottom first, gently but with strong motions
finally, froth the top with quick, short whips.
