By Amanda Baird


For those individuals who are not familiar with Matcha tea, its a type of green tea quite commonly found in Asian countries like Japan. It is sometimes referred to as Japanese tea because Japan is the major producer in this regards. There are lots of health benefits associated with the consumption of this. The process of how to make matcha tea is a bit different as compared to other types of green teas.

Matcha is actually a powdered tea instead of whole leaf tea which means it isn't the tea leaf extract in fact you will be drinking the whole tea leaf as well. It depends on your personal taste whether you keep its texture thin or thick. Usucha and Koicha are the names given to this tea based on their consistency and texture.

To avoid an awful tasting tea you should follow the brewing process in an accurate manner. There are certain steps that you need to follow to brew a perfect cup of matcha. Never use boiling hot water to brew it instead use warm hot water.

Firstly, you must boil water in a skillet to the boiling temperature and afterward take it off let it sit for a few minutes then start to brew it. You may require some boiling hot water in another container in the event that you need to change the consistency of it. When water boils, pour it into a bowl. Don't give it a chance to chill off for long because you will find it troublesome to blend it in a flawless way.

Now add the green tea powder according to your desire. In a single cup, you can add half to two scoops of powder. For instance, if you are looking for thick consistency then you should add 2 scoops whereas if you want it to be thin then only half scoop would be more than enough. You should strain it so that there are no particles left inside the mixture.

When the drink is still very hot, you must whisk it for a while in order to make it smooth textured. The recommended method is to add a little amount of hot water in your cup and then add the powder and whisk it until its smoothly mixed. Now you could add more water in it while stirring continuously so that the consistency that you desire can be achieved.

If you want to make it thick then whisk till a layer of froth is created on top whereas to obtain thin texture gently whisk in circular motion and get a smooth and light blend of tea. The best way is to drink it immediately otherwise the taste will not remain the same.

Thus, the process involved in how to make matcha is very easy. Keep your tea powder in the refrigerator while sealing it in using an air tight container. It s a good practice to drink this tea on a regular basis because it contains a lot of beneficial antioxidants that are considered to be good for your health and physical fitness in general.
