Matcha tea preparation
After a little practice, matcha tea can be prepared in no time. Not only does it serve as pure enjoyment, but it also opens the door to many other creative recipes.
1. Seven
Carefully sift 2 grams of matcha (about 1 teaspoon) into a bowl to prevent lumps from forming.
2. Heating
Add approx. 70 ml of hot water. It should no longer boil to protect the matcha.
3. Stir
Chase the matcha and water together in a Z-shaped motion for about 20 seconds.
4. Enjoy
As soon as a creamy foam forms, enjoy the tea or use it for creations such as matcha latte.
Frequently Asked Questions

Is shipping free?

How long does it take to receive my order?

What if I don't like the taste?

That's why you can test our matcha within 30 days. If you don't like it, just send it back. We will then refund you the purchase price.
How do I recognize high-quality matcha?
- The color should be bright and vibrant green. A yellowish or brownish color indicates poor quality.
- A fresh smell with a sweet note. If the matcha smells musty or very bitter, it is of lower quality.
- When it comes to taste, a good matcha impresses with its sweet and mild note.
- Other signs can include organic certification, an exceptionally fine consistency and a higher price.

Why does high-quality matcha form clumps?
Interestingly, lumps in matcha are not a sign of poor quality. In fact, high-quality matcha that is very finely ground tends to clump even with minimal moisture. Lower-quality matcha, which tends to be more coarsely ground, exhibits this tendency less strongly.
To prevent lumps from forming in matcha, it is recommended to pass the matcha powder through a fine sieve before preparation.
