Production 🍃
Who would have thought that behind this vibrant green powder is such a sophisticated process? 🤔
Take a peek behind the scenes of matcha production and uncover all the secrets behind this beloved tea 🍵
1. Cultivation 🌱
Four weeks before harvest, the tea plants are shaded to protect them from direct sunlight ☀️ This significantly slows their growth while stimulating chlorophyll production.
As a result, the leaves develop an intense green color and a high content of amino acids, which are characteristic of matcha 🍵
2. Processing 🫴
After a selective harvest, the leaves undergo gentle processing 🫶 The fresh leaves are briefly steamed to halt enzymatic processes and preserve their vibrant green color.
The veins and stems, which would give matcha a bitter taste, are removed by hand, followed by low-temperature drying to eliminate excess moisture 💦
3. Grinding 🍵
The final and most important step is grinding. The dried leaves 🍃 are slowly and carefully ground on traditional stone mills.
This process takes several hours ⌛, resulting in a fine powdered green tea known as matcha. The temperature during grinding is carefully controlled to preserve the bright green color and all beneficial compounds.
Comparison ⚖️
Japanese matcha, thanks to its unique natural conditions, is rich in chlorophyll, giving it a vibrant green color. The flavor is delicate and sweet with pronounced umami notes.
Chinese matcha, due to different natural conditions, contains less chlorophyll, resulting in a more yellowish to brown hue. The flavor is stronger and the aroma more intense.

Instructions
Traditional way 🎎
1. step — Preparation
Junbi (準備)
- Japanese Matcha — Ceremonial
- Tea Bowl — Chawan
- Bamboo Whisk — Chasen
- Bamboo Scoop — Chashaku
- Sifter — Chakoshi
- Tea Cloth — Chakin
Soak the chasen in warm water. The prongs will become softer and more flexible, ensuring longer durability and easier whisking.
4. step — Pouring
Soshīru (注ぐ)
- Heat the water to a maximum of 75°C
- Pour 70 ml of water into the chawan with sifted matcha
The water temperature is crucial for preserving both the flavor and the beneficial nutrients.
5. step — Whisking
Awatateru (泡立てる)
- Place the chasen in the center of the chawan
- Move it quickly in the "W" motion
- Whisk until a thick foam forms
When whisking, the movements should come from the wrist, and the chasen should not touch the bottom of the chawan. This ensures a thicker foam and extends the whisk’s lifespan.
6. step — Savoring
Tanoshimu (楽しむ)
- Hold the chawan with both hands.
- Pause for a moment to appreciate the aroma and color.
- Bring the chawan to your lips and take a sip.
Enjoy every sip of your matcha
