GYOKURO

sekiguchien — Tue, 06 May 2025 07:12:46 +0000

Gyokuro is a type of Japanese green tea known for its rich, umami flavor and delicate sweetness. Unlike standard green teas, Gyokuro is grown in the shade for about 20 days before harvesting. This process enhances the tea's amino acids, resulting in a smoother and sweeter taste. Gyokuro is often considered one of the finest and most luxurious Japanese teas.

MACCHA GREEN TEA

sekiguchien — Tue, 06 May 2025 02:00:54 +0000

Matcha is a finely ground powdered green tea that originates from Japan. Unlike regular green tea, which is steeped and then discarded, matcha is made by whisking the powdered tea leaves into hot water, allowing the drinker to consume the entire leaf. This method maximizes the health benefits, providing antioxidants, vitamins, and a gentle caffeine boost. Traditionally used in Japanese tea ceremonies, matcha has gained global popularity for its rich umami flavor and numerous health benefits. Nowadays, matcha is not only enjoyed as a beverage but also used in desserts, such as matcha ice cream and matcha-flavored pastries.

【Matcha can be easily enjoyed】

With the following tools, you can easily and enjoyably drink matcha.

Chawan (Tea Bowl) – A wide, deep bowl used for whisking and serving matcha. It allows enough space to properly mix the powdered tea with water.

Chasen (Bamboo Whisk) – A specialized whisk made from a single piece of bamboo, carefully crafted to create numerous fine tines. This tool is crucial for thoroughly blending matcha with water and creating a frothy texture.

Chasen Naoshi - Chasen Naoshi is a bamboo whisk holder designed to maintain the shape of a chasen (bamboo whisk) after use. Since the delicate tines of the chasen can become misshapen over time, storing it properly helps prolong its lifespan. The holder is typically made of ceramic and features a curved design that supports the whisk, allowing it to retain its natural shape while drying. This prevents the whisk from bending or breaking and ensures better performance when whisking matcha.

~How to Make Matcha Tea~

Prepare the tools: You will need a chawan (tea bowl), chashaku (bamboo scoop), and matcha powder.

Warm the tea bowl: Pour a small amount of hot water into the bowl, swirl it around, then discard the water. This warms the bowl and helps mix the matcha smoothly.

Sift the matcha: Use a small sifter to sift about 1–2 teaspoons of matcha into the tea bowl. This removes clumps and ensures a smoother consistency.

Add hot water: Pour about 60–80ml (2–3oz) of hot water (about 70–80°C / 158–176°F) into the bowl. Avoid boiling water, as it can make matcha taste bitter.

Whisk the matcha: Using the bamboo whisk, mix vigorously in a W or M motion until the tea becomes frothy with small bubbles. This creates a creamy texture and enhances the flavor.

Enjoy! Once whisked properly, matcha is ready to drink.
