Your Matcha Start: What do you need as a beginner?

Matcha is more than just a trendy drink – it is a high-quality, traditional beverage with numerous health benefits. But what do you really need to get started with Matcha? Here you will find the most important information and the right accessories for a successful start.

What you really need: Matcha & broom

To prepare Matcha in its classic form, exactly two things are essential: Matcha powder and a bamboo whisk (Chasen). Without these two elements, Matcha cannot be enjoyed in the authentic way.

  • Matcha Powder

    If you want to try Matcha for the first time, we recommend our Organic Matcha Tea 10g. This small amount allows you to get to know the taste without immediately buying a large package.

    • Mild & wholesome – ideal for beginners
    • 100% organic quality – from high-quality Japanese tea leaves
    • Perfect for trying out – small quantity to gain initial experience

       

  • Matcha whisk (Chasen)

    A high-quality matcha whisk is essential to evenly mix the powder with water and create a fine layer of foam. Without it, the drink often remains lumpy, and the typical matcha experience is lost.

What you can additionally buy

Besides Matcha and brooms, there are other accessories that make preparation easier and complete the Matcha experience.

Matcha bowl (Chawan)

A wide bowl makes it easier to whisk the tea and ensures a uniform texture. If you don't yet own a special matcha bowl, you can temporarily use a cereal bowl. However, traditional chawans have an ideal shape that makes whisking the tea particularly easy.

Matcha Spoon (Chashaku)

A bamboo spoon helps you measure the right amount of Matcha. Alternatively, a regular teaspoon can also be used, but the Chashaku is specifically designed to hold the ideal amount of matcha powder.

Do I need a sieve?

Normally, it is recommended to sift Matcha before preparation to avoid clumps. However, our high-quality Matcha is ground so finely that a sieve is not necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is a bamboo broom necessary?

A bamboo whisk (Chasen) is specially designed to evenly distribute the fine matcha powder in the water and create a creamy foam crown. Other tools like a spoon or a metal whisk cannot properly dissolve the tea and result in an uneven texture.
How long does a matcha whisk last?

A high-quality chasen can last several months to a year, depending on how often it is used and how well it is maintained. After use, it should always be rinsed with clear water and dried on a suitable holder to preserve the fine bristles.
How do I recognize high-quality Matcha?

Here you can learn more about the quality differences of Matcha.

High-quality Matcha is characterized by a bright green color, a fine, velvety taste, and a slightly sweet aroma. Inferior Matcha often has a more yellowish or brownish color and tastes bitter.
Why doesn't my Matcha foam?

If your Matcha doesn't froth properly, it could be due to the wrong technique or the whisk. Make sure to whisk the Matcha with the Chasen in quick W or M motions and not stir it. A high-quality Chasen also ensures better foam.

How to prepare Matcha properly

The preparation of Matcha is simple and takes only a few minutes. A detailed step-by-step guide can be found in our blog.

Quick guide:

  1. Put 1-2 bamboo spoons of Matcha into a bowl.
  2. Add 70-80°C warm water (not boiling).
  3. Whisk with the chasen in an M or W shape until a fine foam forms.
  4. Enjoy fresh.

Why the temperature is important: Matcha should never be prepared with boiling water, as this can destroy the valuable aromas and nutrients. A temperature between 70 and 80°C is ideal to bring out the full flavor.
