HOW TO MATCHA?

How to Make Matcha: Elevate Your Moment

Making matcha is a ritual, not just a routine. At Ukiyo, we believe in taking the time to appreciate the process—the art of whisking, the calmness of the moment, and the pure joy of sipping the perfect cup. Whether you’re new to matcha or a seasoned enthusiast, here’s how to make a cup that brings out the best in every leaf.

Step 1: Measure Your Matcha

Start with 1-2 teaspoons (about 2-4 grams) of Ukiyo matcha for one serving. The beauty of matcha lies in its versatility—feel free to adjust the amount to your taste. For a more intense flavor, add a little extra; for a lighter experience, reduce the amount slightly.

Step 2: Add Room Temperature Water

Begin by adding a small amount of room temperature water (about 2 ounces) to the sifted matcha powder. This step helps to form a smooth paste and ensures there are no clumps. Whisk the matcha and water together gently to create a silky texture.

Step 3: Add Hot Water

Once the matcha has formed a smooth paste, add about 4-6 ounces of hot water (175°F or 80°C—just below boiling). The hotter water helps bring out the full flavor and creates that rich, frothy texture.

Step 4: Whisk Vigorously

Use a bamboo whisk (chasen) if you have one, and whisk the matcha in a “W” or “M” motion. Whisk vigorously to create a smooth, frothy layer of green goodness. This is where the magic happens—take your time and enjoy the process.

Step 5: Adjust to Your Taste

If you prefer a stronger matcha, you can adjust by adding more matcha powder. For a creamier, softer cup, add a little more water or milk to suit your preference.

Step 6: Enjoy the Moment

Sip your matcha mindfully. Let the vibrant green color, smooth texture, and balanced flavor fill your senses. Every cup of Ukiyo matcha is a chance to pause, connect with the present, and enjoy the extraordinary in the everyday.

At Ukiyo, we believe that how you make your matcha should be as special as the matcha itself. So take your time. Create a moment. And savor the unparalleled

experience of true, premium matcha.
