Comment preparer le Thé Matcha / Matcha / Kumiko Recette

Hello everyone.

Today, we are going to prepare Matcha tea ...

... in the manner of the tea ceremony

The tea we call Matcha ... is in fact called Usu-Tcha.

It is normally drunk at the end of the tea ceremony.

In Japan, it can be drunk in a tea room ...

... in a garden or in a temple.

You can also drink it at home.

I'll show you ...

... how to prepare it and how to drink it.

In the tea ceremony, there are a lot of codes and rituals

Today, we will simplify.

If you go to Japan ...

you will have the opportunity to drink it

in different places

It will be more elegant, if you know a little bit about the ritual.

I'll use a Tchasen.

It's a bamboo whisk.

And a bamboo spoon.

There are many shapes of bowls ...

But you can take a bowl like this ...

Like a bowl of latte.

this is a bamboo ladle.

I put it on for decoration.

We normally use it to serve water

and that's a pot of matcha.

There are different qualities of Matcha tea.

You can buy a 30 or 40 gram jar like this one.

There are of course a lot of different prices.

Normally, for a bowl of tea ...

... we use 2 or 3 grams of Matcha.

and 50 to 70 ml of water.

To start, you have to sift the Matcha.

this is a strainer for Matcha.

We sift!

and There you go !

Of course, you can use another colander like this.

You can then put it in the Matcha pot.

Me, I have already put.

Before putting the Matcha in the bowl.

The bowl and the Tchasen should be purified with hot water.

it also serves to heat the bowl and avoid breaking the whisk.

and we throw the water.

With a small cloth, we wipe a little.

We put the Matcha in the bowl.

2 to 3 grams is 2 large spoons.

We put hot water.

We lather.

At first, you can hit rock bottom.

You have to start lathering.

[the whisk is agitated only on the surface. ...

... The whip does not touch the bottom. ]

When we lather

we do not make circular movements

we make movements in line.

In a bowl, there is always a special side.

Like this one ...

Something like that we see right away.

This face must be presented to the guest.

To drink ...

You have to put the bowl on your hand ...

Immediately, turn the bowl ...

A little ...

To avoid drinking from the side of the face.

With the other hand, you have to hold the bowl well.

Now we can drink.

Normally, we drink in three or four sips.

At the end, when there is only the foam left ...

We can suck a little.

When we have drunk, we turn the bowl ...

and put it down.

Normally, before drinking the tea ...

... we eat a sweet cupcake.

A little code in the tea ceremony ...

You don't wear jewelry, even a ring like that.

There are a lot of other codes ...

That's why we practice for the tea ceremony.

But you can just indulge yourself.

Matcha tea is also good for your health.

itadakimasu!
