Creating unique, nutritious matcha in the classic way is not difficult — the secret lies in simple nuances. To enjoy the original taste, you need quality powder and matcha tea utensils. You can choose and order them on the Matcher.store online store website.

Preparing traditional matcha: essential utensils and accessories

Powdered tea is a product with the maximum amount of valuable components. Its secret is that the entire leaf enters the body whole due to grinding. Such tea requires a special brewing method. The preparation process involves the use of special tools: a chawan or katakuchi, a chasen, a chashaku, and a sieve are needed. The utensils and accessories for preparing matcha tea presented on the Matcher.store website are high-quality and original products.

Katakuchi and chawan

A matcha bowl has unique characteristics. For frothing the powder with a bamboo whisk, a sufficiently wide container is needed. Otherwise, the movements will not be fast enough, and the matcha will not be foamy and aromatic. The walls of the chawan should be high enough so that the drink does not spill, but low enough so that the chasen touches its bottom. You can drink matcha directly from it. Katakuchi is a matcha bowl with a spout. If you prepare it in a katakuchi, the drink must be poured into a yunomi before consumption.

Bamboo whisks (chasen)

To enjoy a delicious, invigorating drink, you need to froth it well and get rid of lumps. You will need a matcha whisk — a chasen. The accessory is made of bamboo. The more bristles it has, the better and more delicate the foam will be when used. Consider the length of the whisk — it should be correctly proportionate to the volume of the bowl.

Chashaku for matcha

To prepare traditional matcha, you need to take 2 g of tea powder. Accuracy determines the taste of the drink. If you don't have scales, it's easier to buy a chashaku for matcha. The special bamboo spoon takes exactly 1 g of powder. It securely holds the product due to its special shape while you move it into the sieve. In addition, the chashaku is an important accessory for the traditional tea ceremony.

Sieve for matcha

A furui allows you to restore the matcha powder to an ideal loose structure. This is very important for easy whisking and maximum health benefits. During storage, a natural product usually forms lumps. Before preparing tea, you need to use a matcha sieve — sift the powder directly into the chawan.

Additional accessories for matcha

In addition to the main devices, you can order products for maximum comfort on the Matcher.store website:

• Naoshi. A whisk stand that provides ideal conditions for drying and storing the chasen.

• Matcha sifter container. This special container not only creates optimal conditions for storing natural powder, preventing access to light and moisture. With the container, you can sift 15–20 g in just a few seconds.

Important nuance: powder cannot be stored in the refrigerator. This will lead to spoilage of the natural product.
