Matcha in a steel mug
A matcha in a steel mug, #203 of 999. Roastery light, napkin counter. Feather on the surface. Uncommon, roast score 154.7.
The recipe
2.2 g matcha · 74 ml · 82 °C · whisk 12 s
- Sift 2.2 g of matcha into the bowl. Unsifted it clumps and no amount of whisking fixes it.
- Add 74 ml at 82 °C — boiling water makes it bitter — and whisk in a W, wrist only, until the surface is all fine foam.
- Pour into the mug straight away; it separates within a minute.
- The feather is set on at the pass, not poured — there is no steamed milk in this one, so it is drawn in the foam with a pick.
