Questions.
How do I prepare matcha properly?
Best with the paste method: sift 2 g of matcha into a warmed bowl, stir it with 10 ml of water at 75 °C into a thick paste, add 20–50 ml of water at 75 °C and whisk with the bamboo whisk (chasen) in W-shaped strokes until frothy. The result is a matcha shot without lumps, to drink pure or as the base of a latte. Boiling water makes matcha bitter.
How do I make a matcha latte?
Prepare a matcha shot (2 g of matcha, 30–60 ml of water at 75 °C, first stirred into a paste, then whisked until frothy) and pour it onto 125–250 ml of milk, warm and frothed or cold over ice. Oat and almond drink work too. Ceremonial matcha is worth it for a fine latte: it stays vivid green in the milk and tastes round rather than harsh.
How does the matcha subscription work?
You receive 30 g of Signature Ceremonial Matcha in a pouch, every 2 weeks or every month, for CHF 32 instead of CHF 48 per delivery, 33 % less, with free shipping. Each delivery comes with CHF 16 credit in the Niyu loyalty programme as a gift. The minimum term is three deliveries; after that, cancel any time in your account. Change the rhythm any time.
What is the difference between ceremonial and culinary matcha?
Ceremonial matcha comes from young leaves of the first harvest of shaded tea gardens and is meant to be drunk pure: deep green, silky, with plenty of umami. Culinary matcha usually comes from later harvests, is more yellowish and harsher, and is used for baking and cooking. The term «ceremonial» is not protected, so trust colour, fineness and taste.
