Tea made this way also has more chlorophyll in the leaf.

Instruction:

Add 1/3 cup of hot water and add the matcha whisk to warm it up. Once the bowl is hot, pour the water into a measuring cup and dry the bowl with a paper towel. Measure out 70ml of water for Usucha or 40ml for Koicha and leave to cool.
Using a bamboo spoon, add the matcha powder to the bowl (2 tablespoons to make Usucha or 3-4 tablespoons to make Koicha). We strongly recommend pouring the powder through a sieve to eliminate grains.
When will the water cool down to 60-70 ⁰C, pour it into a bowl.
If you want to get Usucha, whisk the matcha vigorously with a bamboo whisk (W motion) until air bubbles and a soft foam form.
If you want to get Koicha, don't beat the tea. Blend gently horizontally, vertically, and in a 360-degree circular motion for a thicker, foam-free texture.
