Yume
The Gesture
YUME

A successful matcha begins with a precise gesture.

The essentials

To prepare your matcha, you need:

  • A chawan -- a matcha bowl, wide and rounded.
  • A chasen -- the bamboo whisk to create a fine, silky foam.

(At home, a small whisk or milk frother can also do the job.)

Preparation steps

  • Pour a teaspoon of Yume matcha into the bowl (about 1.5g).
  • Add about 70 ml of hot water (between 70 and 80C, never boiling).
  • Whisk vigorously in a "W" motion until you obtain a fine, luminous foam.
  • Add a little hot or cold plant milk (oat, almond, coconut...) for a more indulgent, softer version. It is also possible to add a little more milk and less water for a rounder texture.
  • Enjoy immediately to fully appreciate the tea's freshness and a voluptuous foam.

The virtues of matcha

No. A cup of matcha (1g) contains about 30 mg of caffeine, versus 80 to 100 mg for a coffee.

Its particularity lies in L-theanine, an amino acid that slows the absorption of caffeine.

Result: a gentle, stable and lasting energy, without spikes or nervousness.
