The 5 mistakes that ruin your matcha!

Mistake 1: Using water that is too hot

One of the most common mistakes is to prepare matcha with boiling water. This can alter its taste and make it bitter .

✨ How to avoid this mistake:
• Use water at 80°C maximum.
• If you don't have a thermometer, boil the water, then let it sit for 1 to 2 minutes before using.

With Teya Matcha, the taste remains balanced and delicious, even with a slightly imprecise temperature.

Mistake 2: Measuring the wrong amount of matcha

Too little matcha, and your drink will be bland. Too much matcha, and the taste may be too intense.

How to avoid this mistake:

Use a bamboo spoon to measure 1 to 2g of matcha.

Adjust to your personal preference.

Our Teya Matcha bamboo spoon guarantees simple and precise dosage.

Mistake 3: Not whisking properly

A poorly mixed matcha does not reveal all of its richness in flavors.

  How to avoid this mistake:

Use a chasen (bamboo whisk) to mix.

Whisk in an “M” or “W” shape until light foam forms.

The Teya Matcha chasen is designed for perfect froth and easy preparation.

Mistake 4: Not storing matcha properly

Matcha is sensitive to air, light and humidity, which can alter its taste and benefits.

Store your matcha in a cool, dry place away from light .

Close the container tightly after each use.
