The Art of Preparing Tea

Preparing Green Tea

Green tea is a sensitive product. Water quality, water temperature, time of infusion and the amount of tea used will have an impact on the taste of your tea. But also the correct storage and the freshness of the tea make a difference.

Green tea is a versatile beverage that can be enjoyed in various ways, whether strong or light, warm or cold, fragrant or aromatic, depending on personal preference.

Here are some tips and recommendations for an optimal flavour experience.

Don't worry, it's not as complicated as it may seem at first. Give it a try!

Preparing Matcha

Matcha and Kabuse powders are traditionally prepared in a large bowl, by adding water and whisking them up with a matcha whisk to let the powder dissolve and create a foamed top.

In the Japanese tea ceremony this process has been brought to perfection and each tea school has its own ways of preparing, serving and drinking Matcha.

For the everyday home use it can be kept a bit more simple - or maybe try something new altoghether with an iced Matcha?
