Great video! My wife owns a couple of tea ceremony shops for foreigners in Kyoto (called Camellia) and I help out a lot. I'm sure I have made well over 10,000 bowls of matcha in the last few years. Here is my method of making a perfect usucha. 1) Drag the whisk very slowly around to spread out the powder in the water, breaking up clumps and allowing the matcha to dissolve. 2) Start whisking vigorously, moving backwards and forwards very fast, and side to side very slowly. It's all in the wrist. 3) Most importantly: SLOW DOWN SLOWLY. Start really fast and slowly decrease the speed as if you are a robot and your batteries are empty. It takes about 30 seconds of whisking. Following the steps will give you a perfectly creamy froth with no large bubbles every time.
Thank you. That helps a lot!
Thanks,your suggestions seem very helpful
I love how much respect you have for the tea.
Thank you!
Just starting out and great information
@@ericcha820, I agree completely: such good vibes from this video!

I was waiting for you to justify how your hand-whisked was better than the milk frother, but you totally owned up. Nicely done, sir 👍 I admire your excellence in pursuit of great tea.
Same here!! I was about to comment that I think the milk frother yielded nicer microfoam but he went on to admit the milk frother did a better job, especially for beginners
They're sometimes called froth wands. I use old fashioned whisks myself. If you keep the whisk near the bottom and stir you get a thicker froth with smaller bubbles, when you pull the whisk out of the liquid, or stir it near the top, you get larger bubbles. Sorry, I'm a coffee guy. I love tea as well so I am learning a ton from you. Thanks!
This channel is great. Glad i found it.
Welcome, glad you found us too!
why we never make it with boiled water 100 degree? i heard that boiled water will extract all the antioxidants in the green tea. is this right?
Just Me. + boliled water destroyes it. That's the case whit all of the green teas 60/80 degree is the max.
MHH Mulaty thanks a lot
Hi,
Can u please give idea of price too with quality it cud be better for us to find quality in best price.
Wish I'd found this channel before. You're so respectful and authentic.
You have a very beautiful wife! I recently decided to get into matcha when I remembered enjoying matcha flavored pogi(might be wrong) and one time I ordered a knife from Japan and they gave me a tea bag with tea that had a grassy flavor and I remember liking it. Well, I remember being at a family gathering and my relatives are "hippies" they were drinking this weird drink and asked if I wanted to try some and I said sure. Well, I remember feeling oddly amazing calm but alert. My parent joked there was probably marijuana in it but, thinking back I think it was matcha! It was cold and I remember finding it refreshing. I ordered some on amazon to see if that's the stuff. Kind of random I know, thanks for the video I enjoyed it!
Excellent video, just discovered Matcha. As has been mentioned, the ceremonial way in which the Japanese do things pays respect to any process. They are to be admired as a people and as practitioners of sweating the details.
Just getting into Matcha more seriously. Love the mental clarity. Whisk versus frother, in this digital age, always nice to go back to tradition when possible, before it is forgotten. Great presentation, Thank you from Salem, Oregon. Mei, leaf. Didn't get your names.
I have never tried matcha and can't wait to expand my tea experience as coffee gives me stomach aches and I want to try different teas. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us here in California and I will definitely give you a thumbs up👍👍👍
After watching this video (several times) I bought some quality Matcha a frother and a Chawan. Now i'm totally hooked :)

wait until you find good Chinese teas 👌
This is the most comprehensive and enjoyable channel on any subject.
Love the Smell the Matcha in the Morning! Thanks for all the Great ideas. Currently making Lattes with Half&half or Coconut milk-cream and sometimes add a little butter and maybe sweeten it with tad of Royal Honey.
I appreciate the jam jar version because in reality tea can be a humble-at-home experience, or it can be an "elevated" commercial experience with special gadgets etc. It's great when a person can make TEA with a minimal amount of EXTRA stuff because some of us just don't have space for shakers etc. Etc.
A lot of places tend to refer to the methods as thick or thin matcha instead of their Japanese names. Also, from my understanding, ceremonial grade matcha is typically intended for thick matcha whilst thin matcha can be made with any grade really. To each their own though, I’ve been given the gears before though for “wasting” high grade ceremonial matcha by making it thin. I usually keep 3 matchas around, one lower grade for mixing with food and drinks, a higher grade for thin matcha, and a ceremonial grade that I break out one in awhile for thick or thin. Great video
Thanks for posting this informative video. I have been consuming matcha regularly for past five years and never knew that a decent matcha can also be prepared simply by shaking. This technique would be handy when I am in the office.
Great video, I bought matcha tea at whole foods. Not realizing you need a whisk, which I found out when I read the instructions on the can. Now I know I just have to use a jar with a tight cover and do not have to buy a whisk.👍
I Love Mactha and truly appreciate all your videos on it... I was expecting to find out I was doing everything wrong when making Matcha, but finding out that my little hack of using my milk frother when I'm at work everyday to make Matcha is one the best ways to make it and that what I have been doing is actually called Usucha is AWESOME !!!! I also never would have thought about making it with cold water, as I would have thought it wouldnt dissolve as well in cold water but now I cant wait to try the cold Matcha as well... Thank you !!!!
Hi if never tried MATCHA does it raise high blood pressure please answer THANK you so much god bless u
Brand spanking new to Matcha. Mei Leaf videos are a wealth of knowledge. Even though I live in The States, no issue with using mL and degree C. I’m a chemist, so metric is always the choice of measurement. Giant thank you, and hope to visit your shop after COVID.
I’ve just started using matcha and was rather clueless. Thank you as this video has been extremely helpful👌🏻☺️
Thanks a million for this. i thought I knew how to make macha, but I'd never even heard of Koicha. And now I think it's definitely going to replace my usual mid-afternoon espresso!
Iced matcha is simply delicious.
yes nothing adds flavor to a drink like ice 😑
Ro Mama if you knew what you were talking about you would be aware that certain flavors only present themselves at certain temperatures, the same is also very apparent with coffee. As it cools down more subtle notes can be tasted, and when iced this effect is obviously enhanced greatly 😁.
@@romama647 I like ice. I like matcha.
I just spent an hour watching videos on matcha and i actually enjoyed it a lot. Thank you.
You are so great on camera guys! So natural and extremely interesting! 10/10!
I tend to be the traditional matcha maker as I do have the whisk and bowl but I must admit that sometimes in the morning when I want my matcha quickly, I have used the little battery whisk and that does make a nice tea! Haven't used the jelly jar or cold myself yet (although I have tried a matcha late at the local tea shop) but in a pinch, a good idea. I love my traditional, but I can see that if you can't get or don't have access to obtaining the traditional Japanese matcha style brew ware (OK so you don't really brew it) then these would be good options for someone just wanting to try it.
From a bigger to this delicious and healthy tea …THANK YOU !!!
I’ve found that simply putting it in a shaker, about 4oz of water and some ice, poured over some bright flavored ginger or citrus teas.. lychee slushes is also amazing with matcha.
I would do the wisk all the time at a tea shop I worked at but once I tried the shaker, I haven’t used a wisk since.
the matcha chaser idea sounds great! love it when boundaries are broken! like matcha takes off the "formal wear" and puts on the Converse Allstars ;D
I’ve been using a milk frother but not the manual type and it does a fantastic job!
Thank you for the information in being able to use a shaker jar in in making this tea
Thanks! I just got my first matcha order today - plain and chocolate flavor - from Adagio today. It's late April and warm here in Kentucky, so I got out the cocktail shaker. Talk about a bright green!!! I washed out some empty tea tins to keep it fresh. I'm going to get a milk frother for my hot matcha. I think they're cheaper than a lot of the traditional whisks anyway. I've been wanting one for years anyway.
Excellent video. Thanks for giving me an idea of how to easily take my matcha to work in the morning (jelly jar). Haven't seen anyone else with this idea. You two are great!
Lol I had a lot of fun watching this video especially thanks to Celine who appears to be naturally giving off cool vibes and who were also a bit knocked out after the koicha shot lol... Keep up the good work !
Cheers!
At the tea place I frequent they use the cocktail shaker and it's definitely cooler than a milk frother
Yes the shaker is great especially if the matcha is shaken with ice!
Came for the channel content..stayed for Celine!
With all due respect....wow
Wahoo, I have a frothier and was trying to decide if I want to get the whisk. Newly obsessed with matcha and this was so helpful.
Go get frothing Krystal, it is a great way to make a smooooooth matcha.
You folks are a delight. Thank you
I’m loving all of these ideas and tips! Thank you for all this great information!
He means 80 degrees Celcius... USA tea heads... that's about 175 F
Thank you!
Thank you ! I don’t know the temp they are referring about.
Nice elipse(s?) game you've got there. I feel like I'm in a calm tea house!
Ocha&co says it on the label
Thank you!!
I just tried koicha for the first time today and when they say it's intense they really mean it lool
I watched this well into the night. I'm hooked and cannot wait to fully appreciate your teas.
So happy to have found your channel! I adore tea and all the history and variety and nuance!
whisking will put more air into the tea or coffee. This will definately effect the taste of a beverage. Ever heard Bond saying "shaken not stirred". Also wine is also another drink that needs air before serving! Don't shake cold-pressed juices unless you are drinking them with in 30mins or so. Air also oxidates and breaks down vitamins and enzymes.
Good points!
Please break this down for dummies like myself. Are you saying that shaking makes it less healthy?
Love the science behind this
Although a proper vodka martini should be stirred as shaking makes it cloudy, and people prefer the aesthetics of them clear. And I doubt whether a vodka martini has much in the way of health benefits either way.
With martinis, the shaking versus stirring is about the introduction of water to the spirit. Shaking involves ice.
Matcha is how I start every single morning. :-) Love the stuff! A couple of months ago I purchased an electric tea kettle with a variable temperature feature so I could hone in on the correct temp for a better brew. A total game changer! :D
Thank you so much. As a novice this is REALLY helpful.
The traditional whisk is really ceremonial, and a chance for tea masters to show their skills. For the rest of us, an aerolatte is probably the better choice.
might be the easier choice but it’s really satisfying when using a traditional whisk :)
Omg I love all the easy ways you guys demonstrated but the third way is my favorite 🤩 with the jelly jar. lol I was getting overwhelmed with other videos. You guys rock 🥰thank you from a busy mom.
I have a cocktail idea for ice matcha, as I know that in Japan they are used to adding mint to ice brewed gyokuro, it would go with iced matcha, I think a mint liquer or even something aniseedy, like absynth or even gin would work and I would dilute it with sparkling water.
You two are great I've been absolutely obsessed with matcha, and your videos are very informative thank you.
Iced matcha is simply delicious. Vanilla milkshakes with a teaspoon or 2 of matcha is also amazing.
+Tim Gleason Mmmmmmm we love a matcha frappe too.
Dot Dot video??
I drink the Costco Organic Green tea. I like it, but I'd like to step my tea game up a notch or two. Thank you for your well explained videos!
I loved this video thank you
I use room temperature water and a mason jar with a lid to shake my matcha with some honey in the water. I am able to get a very nice crema and it does have a very smooth and milky flavor. I noticed using a larger jar than necessary does produce better crema.
Thank you for a lovely presentation
I found the jam jar to be very useful if you use the blender bottle spiral ball in the jar!
Watching form The States.... 😀
Wow, glad I looked here...1st time organic matcha...it made me feel naseau, so I said I better look into...wasn't aware if caffeine content. Thankyou!
Love this channel and your energy!! I read somewhere that whisking with a metal whisk destroys the catechins/antioxidants in matcha because of oxidation (the catechins begin to bind metal from the whisk instead of free radicals in our bodies). Even if the flavour is the most important thing I thought it could be good to know this!
Also you can use a one cup french press as a milk frother to achieve some impressive foaming results.
I drink ITO EN matcha green tea from costco. love it.
Wow... your pineapple mint chaser is a brilliant idea! The theanine/tequila combo)
The first time I accidently made koicha and tasted it the sweetness and creaminess blew me away.
Thank you for this video!! It was just the information that I was looking for! 🍵 🌿
Nice ideas for Matcha. Thank you.
This is a great way to share your passion and promote your bar, what a cool thing you are doing here. Thanks for sharing!
It is important to soak the whisk before using tp avoid breaking the prongs off, and sifting for koicha is a must, it demagnetises the tea that is why you get no lumps otherwise static electricity builds lumps in the fine powder, in a tea ceremony the tea is pre sifted in the natsume or chaire.
I love that you can drink it cold for the hot summer 🤠
Chilled matcha is wonderful!
Great video guys, and particularly useful for complete matcha novices like me. Well explained, entertaining and useable info. Can't wait to check out your other videos. Hoping to find some reviews of matcha brands. Thanks for your generous spirit. 👍
Thank you, you answered my question about putting matcha in my smoothie!
Such a fantastic introduction, thank you! Additional kudos for the creative and simple ways of doing matcha, I definitely have a jar bar to start with! :D
very recomended channel for tea lover.thank you.
Thank you for the different ways of making matcha tea, I am new to this elixir. I have some matcha on its way, going to try some of these techniques.
science is the best part of your vids. Everything else is cool too but the science info on how things effects the brain is best
this channel is GREAT.
Great Video. I am just getting into making my own matcha tea. Previously I lived in Düsseldorf, Massive Japanese community, so was able to go to different Japanese tea shops/Cafes and get my fix. But now I am back in UK I don't have access to these shops. So been missing it and So about time I did myself at home. So I will be trying the frother method.. Next time I visit London I hope I have enough time to visit your shop. Thanks again. PS I also love a 1st and 2nd Flush Darjeeling :)
I love all your videos!! Thanks for the tutorial!
+Ana Marleen Thank you!
Don, I prepare my matcha the direct way and I don't even mix it with water. I'm using the frother, though. But I like my matcha with a powdered creamer so it is creamier and the froth even sticks on my lips so I have to lick it! Absolutely no hint of bitterness at all and ummmmnnnn....so yummy and delicious! I only wish I have your Uji Hikari Matcha!
I am enlightened...
Thank you for your videos! So much useful information ( and I love your passion! ) :)
matcha shot - 1.5-2 tsp matcha with 40ml of 70 degree/cold water. Stir gently until no clumps, avoid bubbles
matcha - 1/2-1 tsp matcha with 25-30ml of 70 degree/cold water. Wisk until no clumps and frothy. Add water to taste
WOW - GREAT!! thank you so much am going to get some matcha today. xo from California
I LOVE THIS VIDEO
Thank You for making this, so I know the proper way and improv ways of brewing.
and explaining things further. I really appreciate that
+Bellinissima welcome and thanks for commenting!
Bellinissima wow you are gorgeous
Great video and great channel. Thanks so much for the info!
You guys are making the world a better place.life long vegan who is in the know.keep up the good work !
I love your passion and the knowledge of teas and the simple use of expression to impart that knowledge! Btw your wife/gf is very pretty
Came for the matcha, stayed for Celine, Beautiful woman!
Yeah, but she made me dizzy by not sitting still /s
LoL the lady keeps rocking back & forth perhaps she had too much matcha 🍵 🤣
Hey Don,
really enjoyed the video and your little competition. You've definitely got one of the best tea channels on RUclips :-) I'm a bit of a Japanese tea fiend (been going through my stash of gyokuro and a lovely fukamushi sencha) but haven't explored matcha as much as I should have, considering I even took part in a tea ceremony in Kyoto... It's definitely going on the shopping list for when I've finished my current batch of tea though. It would be cool to see you guys make more videos on Japanese teas. There might be fewer types compared to say Oolongs but I've found there to be quite a lot of diversity and different flavour profiles within certain genres such as sencha, especially if you play around with the brewing parameters a bit. Oh by the way that kettle looks cool. Can you tell me the brand?
Cheers!
PS: Nice to see you drinking with Celine (hope I got the spelling right) again!
+holuc08 Sorry we missed this comment so apologies for not replying earlier. We definitely would like to make more videos about Japanese tea and we are planning something. The kettle is something we picked up from China by Kamjove who make a lot of tea gadgets.
Thanks for this awesome tutorial.
+Fernando Fuzii Thank you for watching and commenting
I simply adore your videos !!! Thanks a lot !!!!
