Matcha in a slate diner
A matcha in a slate diner, #497 of 999. Roastery light, napkin counter. Dots on the surface. Tape sleeve. Special blend: Cracked. Uncommon, roast score 173.3.
The recipe
1.9 g matcha · 68 ml · 82 °C · whisk 14 s
- Sift 1.9 g of matcha into the bowl. Unsifted it clumps and no amount of whisking fixes it.
- Add 68 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 diner straight away; it separates within a minute.
- The dots 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.
