I recently started my matcha journey, and I’ve been loving it so far! My current go-to has been Taigu. They use Uji matcha, and I’m wondering, for those living in the Netherlands or elsewhere in the EU, where do you get good-quality matcha and which milk brand do you like pairing it with? 😌
4g of matcha
15 ml to make a paste
45 ml to whisk
80 ml of milk
The matcha I use was the ceremonial one (purple tin), I sifted, mixed very well, yet the colour 🥹
As I saw others had it brighter green!
Hi guys
I have recently started to get into matcha making and bought on Etsy a Chawan which looks and feels really nice.
The dimensions of the Chawan are: 13.5*7.0cm 500ml
Judging from recipes online, they say a 3grams matcha to 30ml hot water ratio is good - but when I use this on the bowl, because of how wide it is, the water height is minimal. This means when using the chasen, it's always scraping the bottom and the bristles start to go all over the place. I also find it a little tricky to make sure the matcha is fully mixed in.
Based on the above dimensions, is this Chawan typically for making more than one serving of matcha? Or am I doing something wrong and someon has some advice?
Thanks a lot!!
Edit: I like to have an iced matcha latte
Hey! I have a chasen that I've been using for a while. I packed it on a plane ride in the same compartment as a plastic bag that contained my shampoo. When I arrived, I found that the plastic bag with my toiletries had leaked and my shampoo got into my chasen. I keep rinsing/drying my chasen, but it keeps bubbling. Do I just keep rinsing + drying my chasen and hope that the soap gets out, or would soaking it be a better option? I don't want to get a new one but the bamboo seems quite porous and I'm having a hard time getting the shampoo out.
I switched immediately from coffee to matcha and I’ve been feeling more zombish and flat, and almost worse focus and care for things. I already suffer with emotional numbness from meds but I feel even more so now. Is this just a recalibration thing?
