Dip chasen in water to loosen the chasen straws.

The 30-20-10 Rule of Whisking:

1. Sift 2-3 grams of matcha through a strainer.
2. Pour 15ml-20ml of water into the bowl. Initially, using the chasen, gently dab the matcha, using circle motions and mini circle motions until it forms a creamy consistency.
3. Pour the remaining 15ml-20ml of water.
4. Vigorously whisk for about 30-40 seconds (recommended motions: to & fro, circle, W, or a zig-zag motion).
5. Slow down and whisk for about 20 seconds (recommended motions: to & fro, circle, W, or a zig-zag motion).
6. For the last 10 seconds, glide the whisk around the bowl.

Place the chasen into water afterwards.

The Degrees of Water

• Use warm water, 70-80 degrees Celsius.
• Boiling water breaks down the chlorophyll into pheophytin, which gives it a dull, bitter, and flat taste.
• The hotter the water, the more dull and bitter the taste will be.

What “grade” is your matcha? We don’t use grades like “ceremonial” or “culinary.” Sunshine Matcha is late-harvest for a bold, smooth flavor that shines in lattes (hot or iced) without harsh bitterness.

How many cups per 40g? At 2g per serving ~ 20 cups per 40g (=R20 per cup)

Will it be bitter?Using the the right temperature of water. We recommend staying within 70-80 degree range. Using too hot water can make the matcha bitter & dull. Whisk: 30-40seconds, vigorously. 20seconds slowly and 10 seconds of glide

Do I need a bamboo whisk? Helps with foam and texture. A milk frother or shake in a sealed bottle works too.

Caffeine content? Less than most coffees, paired with L-theanine for calm energy.

Storage: Keep sealed, cool, dry, and out of direct light. Refrigerate sealed if needed (bring to room temp before opening).

Sweetened/flavored? No — 100% pure matcha, nothing added.

Why is the color different? Late-harvest matcha has a deep green for fuller taste, great in milk drinks.
