◆How to enjoy matcha
The way green tea and thick tea are prepared differs depending on the school. Generally, thin tea is used, and the preparation method must be done according to the proper method at formal occasions such as tea ceremonies, but when enjoying matcha on a daily basis, you can enjoy it casually without worrying about formalities. For thin tea, pour about 60 ml (60 cc) of hot water into one and a half heaped scoops (about 2 g) of matcha in the tea scoop, stir well with a tea whisk, and serve. For thick tea, use twice the amount of thin tea, three scoops (about 4 g) in the tea scoop, add hot water little by little, knead well, and drink. 30 g of matcha can be served to about 15 guests.
