Why does high-quality matcha form clumps?
Interestingly, clumps in matcha are not a sign of inferior quality. In fact, high-quality matcha, which is ground very finely, tends to form clumps even with minimal moisture. Lower-quality matcha, which tends to be ground coarser, shows this tendency less strongly.
To prevent clumping in matcha, it is recommended to sift the matcha powder through a fine sieve before preparation.
