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.
Warm the chawan and dry it gently.
Sift 3g of ceremonial matcha into the bowl.
Add 50ml of water at 70 degrees Celsius.
Whisk slowly to combine, then increase to a steady rhythm for 25 seconds.
Stop while the surface still shows a thin foam.
A good way to taste a high grade matcha without committing to full koicha.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.
