The Green Stuff

I said before I would post a picture of the new chawan with matcha in it, so here it is with some of Den's Tea's Matcha Kaze. Not the best matcha on the market, but for usucha(thin matcha) I can't complain.

I considered making this out into a post about how to prepare matcha, but then I noticed that Tales of Japanese Tea, Kohei, had posted a rather lovely video that covers pretty much everything you'd want to know about matcha preparation*, so I'll just link to him instead. ;p

*Well, for usucha. This is roughly how I prepare it, two scoops with 60ml of water. For koicha(thick matcha) you need both more scoops/less water as well as a higher quality matcha.

New Chawan

Bought from MarshalN off TeaChat.
Quite pleased with it, so a quick photo following some matcha. Will likely post another photo, pre-drinking, sometime soon. Love the way matcha looks in it.
