Ever since I drank a cup of frothy matcha at a Japanese restaurant here, I've become very interested in the matcha tea ceremony and to create the experience chez moi!
I didnt invest in the best tools or matcha as I wanted to experiment with them first.
But it turned out pretty good :)
You will need: a sieve to reduce lumps in the matcha powder (but I didn't use one), a bamboo scoop (chashaku), a bamboo whisk (chasen) and bowl (chawan).
Make sure the water is not too hot, around 70-80degs Celsius. Put a few scoops of matcha powder. It took me at least a minute of whisking before I obtained the foam.
This looks like fun!
