How to Make Modern Brew Matcha using an electric whisk: Wumi Matcha Preferred Method

Step 1: Sift 2 Grams of Matcha in your favorite cup (Recommended).  Push matcha gently through the sifter into the cup

Step 2:  Add about 20 ml of water or 1 oz just enough to saturate the matcha and stir gently with electric whisk.  The matcha should be thick.  This helps bring out the umami of the matcha.

Step 3:  Add 4 oz of water and begin to whisk the matcha.  Tilt the cup slightly and make sure to get the corners of the cup.

Step 4:  Sip and Enjoy.  *Note - Add more water after whisking for thin out tea and create the beautiful contrasting colors from the matcha.
