I’d like to tell you about Thin tea and Thick tea today.<\/p>\n

The tea we serve at our tea ceremonies is called “thin tea (usucha)”.<\/p>\n

but do you know there’s another type of tea?\u00a0 \u00a0It’s Thick tea called koicha.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

These two types of tea differ in terms of matcha concentration, tea leaves, and preparation methods.<\/p>\n

To make thin tea called usucha, pour 60 ml of hot water for every 2 grams of matcha, then stir with a chasen (tea whisk).
\nFor thick tea called koicha, pour 40 ml of hot water for every 4 grams of matcha,<\/p>\n

then knead the mixture as if smoothing it out.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thick tea should be made with high-grade matcha that has less astringency and bitterness.<\/p>\n

This will give the tea a thick, rich, mellow flavor.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At\u00a0 Tea ceremony and calligraphy shop Waplus Nara, everyone is welcome to experience making and drinking matcha tea.
\nSessions are held three times a day: 10:00, 13:00, and 15:00.
\nWe look forward to seeing you!<\/p>\n
