Questions
Hatsu is bold, robust and vegetal, with a gentle bitterness that holds its own through milk. Takami is smooth, rounded and umami, gentle in the cup and just as good whisked straight. Both are first-harvest Ceremonial Blends, stone-milled in Uji.
Start with the Discovery Duo. You get a tin of each, so you can try both and see which you prefer. Order on jukuaustralia.com.au.
At our usual 3g serve, about 10 cups. That's roughly $4.50 a cup, well under a café matcha latte.
A bamboo whisk gives the classic foam, but a milk frother or a small jar with a tight lid works fine. Our usual latte: 3g matcha, 40ml water at 75°C, then 130ml milk. Ratios are personal, so adjust to taste.
Matcha does not expire in the usual sense, but colour and flavour gradually fade once the tin is open. For the best cup, aim to finish it within about 2 to 4 weeks. Keep the tin sealed, cool and away from light. If you store it in the fridge, let it return to room temperature before opening so moisture does not get in.
