Matcha Straight

Matcha at its simplest: sifted, whisked, poured. Smooth, grassy and naturally sweet, with nothing to hide behind.

What you need

  • 1–2g matcha
  • 60ml water at around 80°C

The method

  1. 01

    Sift

    Sift 1–2g of matcha into your bowl to break up any clumps.

  2. 02

    Whisk

    Add 60ml of warm water and whisk briskly in a W motion.

  3. 03

    Pour

    Pour into your favourite glass and drink traditionally.

A few things that help

Never use boiling water — around 80°C keeps matcha sweet rather than bitter.

Soak a bamboo whisk in warm water for 30–60 seconds before you start.

Drink it soon after whisking; the froth settles quickly.
