A clean preparation that highlights the matcha itself.
Estimated at about 34 mg of caffeine and 25 mg of L-theanine per gram of matcha. Cultivar, grade and harvest all move the real figure, so treat these as a guide, not a measurement. Not medical advice.
Sift 2g of high quality matcha into a bowl.
Add 30ml of water at 70 degrees Celsius and whisk for 15 seconds.
Fill a glass tumbler with ice.
Pour 120ml of cold filtered water over the ice.
Pour the matcha on top and stir gently.
This style needs a bright single origin matcha. Lower grades will taste flat.Almanac note
Made it?
The journal keeps this bowl (grams, water, temperature, and how it actually tasted) on this device, so the next one starts from what worked. It builds a 13-week heatmap as you go, and it is free for up to 1,000 bowls on this device. Premium adds the tin cellar, so each bowl is costed against the tin you actually poured it from.
