This is the best video on this. It covers everything. Very good video, thanks!

2grams of matcha 50ml water How many ml for tye milk?

Thank you for this informative video! Much appreciated!

Okay, I may have written my last comment before finishing your video. And I have to say - I found your final point incredibly appealing. I will strive to better appreciate the MM no. 32 sitting in my refrigerator - it’s what’s been good enough to be drunk for hundreds of years. It’s good enough for me. I’ll even dedicate my hardwood chashaku to it - an unconventional chashaku for a historically conventional tea.

I straight-up think organic Japanese teas (roasted teas aside) taste a lot worse than their non-organic counterparts. It’s simply because Japanese teas rely on a very very high load fertilization regime to up-concentrate the polyphenols in the leaves beyond that a less fertilized tea bush achieves. I agree with organic production in many other contexts, though. What we need to do it cut down the amount of meat production, and subsidize organic farming to cut the prices for consumers. Not saying you do this, but I see many people who do… but expecting something Japan does to make sense is offensively naïve. Japan over-packages everything, Japan discards cosmetically imperfect produce. Shall I go on about stupid Japanese things? There are many. I respect organic tea farmers, but I equally respect non-organic tea farmers who are transparent about what synthetic fertilizers and/or pesticides (this is a critical distinction - many farmers in Darjeeling would be considered organic except for one dose of a synthetic short half-life fungicide applied every couple of years).

Does the matcha get dissolved woth water? Do you have to strain it?

Tried matcha for the first time yesterday and I loved it!! I’m not a hot tea or coffee person so the fact that I absolutely loved it is shocking!! I’m a mom of two toddlers and I need the energy with the crash and I’m glad I finally found it!

Amazing video just covered everything i wanted to know

Great video. Beautiful location you used. Thank you!

🤩🎉❤️❤️❤️❤️

I want to try these so bad! 🍵

Your undying passion is awesome man. Im here for it. ❤❤. Love the content.

Pretty sure you mean 70-75 Fahrenheit not Celsius.

What are those traditional Japanese fences that have stones at the bottom, look like they have this white plaster in the middle, and then have an East Asian/Japanese 入母屋/Irimoya/"Hip and Gable" style roof at the top? You see them a lot in Japanese traditional architecture, especially around castles and old cities. But for the life of me I've been unable to find the name for them, I've been looking for years.

Thank you! Matcha lover here for years and this is very informative.

Good matcha!☕️💚

So should we store the matcha in the refrigerator to preserve the antioxidants?

Great video, only concern is the oatly milk

I am interested in commercial matcha grinder

Would you also call this a diluted Iced Usucha? :)

Hello! So exciting about your freshly ground Matcha!! By the way, I just wonder what the name Ooika mean?

The title is misleading for the type of information

Where do i buy that tin?

Is there a big difference on the growth of the bushes between Honzu and Kanreisha during shading time?

For anyone who doesn't want to wait 14 days for the premier to come out, here's how to make a matcha latte. 1. Whisk 1 tsp matcha with 2 oz hot water. 2. Add sweetener to taste. 3. Froth 6 oz milk (dairy or non-dairy). 4. Pour milk into matcha mixture. Boom, you're done.

Dude. Awesome short! Super interesting. Wrong music for the vibe though. 😊 Just want you to get the views

💚🍵

I like my matcha to taste like chicken noodle soup

Thanks for lots of great content! I had the pleasure of trying Miyahara san's gyokuro myself recently, I was very curious about your tasting notes and compare, if you'd like to share! :D To me that gyokuro was quite unique from the other gyokuros I've tried, even himpyoukai, I thought it had notes ranging from vegetal, hints of black pepper and even liquorice root, along with wonderful umami. Really a special one I think!

I've been meaning to try Saten! Great to hear that you really enjoyed it and it's the best considering they're using Tsuji-san's matcha. How do they/ooika have enough of Tsuji's matcha when he only does 1 harvest a year? Thanks Marc!

Hey marc, quick question. do you ever tried cold whisk matcha ? It’s mixing a cold milk directly into the matcha instead of hot water. Almost every matcha place/cafe in my country does that instead of the more traditional way. And i wonder what is your opinion about that. Btw, thanks for the great video i really enjoyed it.

It's disgusting

that was very good. thank you!

I’ll have my iced tea, Americano.

The best water for tea is Empirical Water @empiricalwater

Iced Matcha Americano or Iced Usucha :)

You should keep matcha in a glass container

Americans exaggerates

let me explain: doesnt explain why matcha isnt popular in japan

Probably cos they're used to it and it's not really all that tasty 😵‍💫 I think us Americans just get all "ooooo pretty green drink from Japan" n that's why it's caught on here cos it's a novelty here?

i’d guess because it’s treated as ceremonial and not something to have every day

That was an Iced Late, not a Late.

that pronunciation of chanoyu was rough

What's ironic is that they make matcha everything soup tea cakes everything

Japanese young people like to imitate Western Culture. Once they realize that Matcha is popular in Western Culture, they will catch up. Japanese older people have an idea that Match has to be drunk in a special way, or only in Cha no Yu.. and also, it is more expensive than other beverage. Big Thanks to MIKE!! It is getting popular in the US!!

Young people who can't appreciate the taste probably drink matcha because of its 'healthy' image. The tea leaves we use in the Japanese tea ceremony are high-quality, carefully ground with a stone mill. We have no interest in drinking fake matcha mixed with milk, and we take pride in preserving our cultural heritage.

Its just exotic for us :D

This was such a great explanation. Thank you!

Zayne is #2 only because Rafayel is so babygirl

Here is the thing. I have just come back from Japan. He's right about fresh matcha. I went to Kyoto and the matcha there are as fresh as it can be from some stores. And yes, it tasted amazing. But, even if you buy a few little jar of it back to and want to drink it for the following months or two, it will still be fine. You likely won't notice or won't be bothered by the different between freshly made vs matcha in those little jars. So, enjoy matcha, if you have the chance to go to kyoto, definitely go try the fresh ones. But the ones you have in your household is the best one for you because you get to enjoy it.
