Thank you so much for this educational video. I'm looking forward to new future video especially that volatile compounds when brew hot. you know what interesting is that many tea farmers especially in Gokasho like Yamamoto Jintarou, Yoshitsugu Furukawa, etc. i saw them make matcha but they used to pour a little bit of room temperature first before they pour more hot water ? is it necessary ? i've heard that it makes the matcha taste more sweet and less bitter with out sacrificing any subtle flavor that the matcha usually have.
