Matcha is powder tea and absorbs water in the air. Matcha sometimes stick like a ball, so use a strainer or matcha sieve to make good powder matcha.

If you don't have a strainer or matcha sieve, you can just use a tea spoon and crush the sticked matcha to make good powder matcha.

Pour hot water in the tea bowl to warm up the bowl. Use matcha whisk and gently swirl the hot water so that matcha whisk will warm up too.

Waste the hot water in the tea bowl.

Measure 2 grams of matcha (one and half with measure spoon) and put into the tea bowl.

Adjust the temperature of the hot water to 90°C.

If you don't have a thermometer, just move the hot water from cup to cup to lower the temperature of the hot water. If you move the hot water from a cup to another cup, hot water will lose 10°C of its temperature. To make 90°C hot water, pour boiling water to a cup. Then the water in the cup will be 90°C.

Pour the temperature adjusted hot water (60ml) to the tea bowl.

Hold the tea bowl with your left hand. Matcha will stick each other and creates a ball like shape when hot water is added, so use matcha whisk to crush that.

Rapidly move matcha whisk like drawing the shape of a letter 'm'. Continue moving until micro bubbles like cappuccino appears in the tea bowl.

When micro bubbles appeared, slow down the move of matcha whisk, then draw a circle once and pull up matcha whisk from the bowl. Try to pull up matcha whisk from the center of the bowl so that micro bubbles will look beatiful.

Hold up and place the bowl on your left hand, put your right hand on the side of the bowl and rotate the bowl clockwise two times so that you can show the design of the tea bowl to your guest.
