Traditional Matcha Process
The Complexity of Making Matcha by Hand
01
Powder Preparation
Manual sifting (~30s) reduces clumping but increases powder handling and waste risk.
02
Water Calibration & Dosing
Optimal extraction demands 158–176°F (70–80°C) control and precise measurement.
03
Whisking Technique
20–30 seconds of hand whisking, with consistency dependent on trained technique.
