🍵 How to Make Authentic Matcha at Home (Step-by-Step Guide)

Matcha has become one of the most loved drinks in modern kitchens — not just for its smooth, earthy flavor, but for its calming and energizing effects. Making matcha at home is easier than you think — and with the right tools, you can enjoy a perfect cup every morning.

At Strabella, we designed our 7-piece Matcha Whisk Set to bring the traditional Japanese tea experience into your own kitchen. Here’s how to make authentic matcha at home in just a few simple steps.


🥢 What You’ll Need

To make a smooth, foamy bowl of matcha, you’ll need:

  • 1 Strabella Bamboo Matcha Whisk (Chasen)

  • 1 Bamboo Scoop (Chashaku)

  • 1 Ceramic Matcha Bowl (Chawan)

  • 1 Stainless Steel Sifter

  • 1 Whisk Holder (Kusenaoshi)

  • 1 Tea Towel (Chakin)

  • Premium ceremonial matcha powder

  • Hot water (not boiling – around 175°F / 80°C)

🌿 Step-by-Step: How to Prepare Matcha

Step 1: Warm Your Tools

Pour a little hot water into your matcha bowl, then discard it.
This warms the bowl and softens the bamboo whisk, helping to create a finer foam later.

Step 2: Sift Your Matcha

Use the stainless steel sifter to sift about 1–2 scoops (1 tsp) of matcha into your bowl.
This prevents clumps and ensures a smooth, creamy texture.

Step 3: Add Hot Water

Pour about 2 oz (60 ml) of hot water (not boiling) into the bowl.

Step 4: Whisk in a “W” Motion

Using your bamboo whisk, whisk vigorously in a “W” or “M” shape for 15–20 seconds.
You’ll see a layer of delicate foam appear — that’s how you know it’s perfect!

Step 5: Enjoy!

Sip directly from the bowl or pour into your favorite mug.
Pair it with oat milk, honey, or drink it pure for an authentic experience.


💚 Why Matcha is the Perfect Morning Ritual

Unlike coffee, matcha provides calm, focused energy thanks to its unique blend of caffeine and L-theanine.
It’s also loaded with antioxidants that help with:

  • Supporting metabolism

  • Boosting focus and calm

  • Improving skin health

  • Reducing stress and inflammation

Making matcha is more than just preparing a drink — it’s a mindful ritual that slows you down and brings balance to your day.
