By Amanda Baird


Many people are not aware of the fact that matcha is a type of green tea specifically available in Asian countries especially Japan. The reason why it is referred as Japanese tea is because the major exporter and producer of this green tea is none other than Japan. If you consume it regularly you will be benefited with it in a healthy way. Its not difficult to learn how to make matcha tea but the process can differ from making other type of 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.

Its really important that you brew it the correct way otherwise it might taste extremely awful. In order to make a perfectly brewed cup of matcha you can follow some basic and important steps. Its recommended that you should always use warm water instead of boiling hot water to brew it.

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.

While making sure that the water temperature is still quite hot, whisk your tea as quickly and smoothly as you can. The best way to prepare it should be that first of all you take a small quantity of hot water add the powder to create mixture and once its mixed thoroughly, you can add the rest of the water and mix it well.

Assuming that you need to make it thick then do the whisking till a layer of foam is made whereas for delicate and thin drink make round movements and get a smooth and light mix of tea. The most ideal route is to drink it promptly as the taste won't last for long.

It can be said that the process of how to make matcha is quite simple. You can preserve the tea powder for a long time if you keep it in an air tight jar within a refrigerator. The antioxidants found in this tea are considered extremely beneficial for your body health so make it your habit of drinking at least one cup on a daily basis.
