How to prepare Ceremonial Mt Fuji Okumidori Matcha

• Usucha preparation (light tea)

1. Place 2 grams of matcha in a suitable bowl or similar.
2. Pour 70 ml of 80-degree water (bring water to a boil and let cool to 80 degrees) into the bowl.
3. Whisk using a chasen (bamboo whisk), first quickly and energetically, then slowly until a foam with small bubbles is formed. If you don't have one, use a kitchen whisk, an electric whisk, or a low-speed blender.

• Koicha preparation (thick tea)
  

1. Place 3-4 g of matcha powder in a bowl suitable for matcha.
2. Pour 30 ml of 80-degree water (bring water to a boil and let cool to 80 degrees) into the bowl.
3. Whisk using a chasen (bamboo whisk), slowly if you want to maintain a creamy consistency. If you prefer a foam, the procedure is the same as for usucha.

It is also possible to prepare with cold water, the procedure is the same.

Before the first step, we recommend warming the bowl by pouring hot water into it, then removing it and drying the bowl with a cloth or tissue.

We also recommend sifting the matcha powder through a sieve because without this procedure, lumps may form when water is added.

To preserve freshness, once the matcha bag is opened, we recommend sealing it tightly and storing it in a cool, dry place (outside the fridge), away from direct light.

To preserve freshness, once opened, consume within one month.

For storage, the unopened package should be kept in a cold place like the refrigerator for up to about 6 months.
