How to make matcha at home
Three steps — and foam. It works without a whisk too: a closed jar and ten seconds of shaking.
Sift 2 g
One heaped chashaku — exactly one cup. Through a sieve — no lumps.
70 ml of water at 75 °C
Not boiling: that brings bitterness. Let the kettle rest two minutes after boiling.
Whisk with the chasen
15 seconds of quick W-shaped strokes, until the foam is fine.
Latte: pour in the milk
150 ml of hot or cold milk over the whisked matcha.
Two matchas and hojicha
Matcha for every day, pure or with milk. Ceremonial matcha for when the matcha is the centre of attention: koicha, guests, gifts. Hojicha for the evening.
How to tell real matcha
All of this shows in the bowl and on your fingers, before you believe any label.

What people ask about matcha
How do matcha and ceremonial matcha differ?
Ceremonial matcha has a finer grind, sweeter taste and denser foam — it's chosen for drinking pure and for gifts. Both are prepared the same way.
Is it OK during pregnancy?
Ask your doctor: we do not give medical advice.
Does it help you lose weight, is it good for skin?
We do not promise that. Matcha is food, not a remedy. If that is what you are after, do not buy it for that.
Does matcha come in tea bags?
What's sold in bags is green tea with some powder added. Real matcha is powder only, and you drink all of it.
How does ceremonial differ from culinary?
Ceremonial is the first harvest of shaded leaf, sweet, for straight matcha. Culinary is bitter, for baking; we don't carry it.
How is it different from supermarket matcha?
By grade and freshness. In a supermarket it is usually culinary powder: darker, bitter, for baking. Look at the colour: yellow-green means old or a low grade.
Where to buy matcha in Lima?
With us: delivery across Peru, free from S/ 150. Pickup in Písac.
How much does a bowl cost?
A 50 g bag is S/ 50 and makes 25 bowls: that is S/ 2 a bowl. The 100 g works out at S/ 1,8 a bowl. We confirm exact prices on WhatsApp.
From matcha people usually move on to leaf
The same bush, but with the leaf whole: green, a light oolong and, for the evening, white. Or in sets of three samples.
Looking for manzanilla, muña or hierba luisa?
We don't have them — and we say so plainly. We keep tea leaf: white, green, oolong, red, pu-erh. Tell us what you wanted the herb for and we'll pick the leaf that does the same, only tastier.
What did you want the herb for?
instead of manzanilla
White tea: soft, honeyed — a tea for the evening.
Santa Paca — white leaf from Cusco. Water at 80 °C, three minutes, can be brewed twice.
instead of emoliente, boldo
Pu-erh: dark, dense, 'earthy' — what people in China drink after a heavy meal.
Shu pu-erh is never bitter or sour; 12 g lasts a week of dinners.
instead of muña
Floral oolong: fresh, energising without jitters, seven infusions from one spoon.
Tie Guan Yin is the most recognizable oolong, with a lilac note.
instead of hierba luisa
Green leaf from the Peruvian highlands: fresh, grassy, with a lemon note.
Pacha Alpaquita — green from Cusco. Water at 80 °C, never boiling.
instead of mate de coca
Peruvian red: strong, sweet, from the Cusco mountains — for the morning.
Vicuña Roja — red leaf from Cusco; wakes you up like coffee, without the edge.
It's not a herb — it's leafCamellia sinensis: herbs are brewed once, tea leaf holds several infusions.
Sample from S/ 12Less than a cup of coffee. If you don't like it, you've lost S/ 12, not a whole pack.
Brewing is easier than it looksA mug, a spoon of leaf, water below boiling. Temperature and time are on the packet.

Do you have herbal teas
We keep tea leaf, not herbs: no manzanilla, muña or hierba luisa. For something gentle, take white or oolong.
Do you have a complaints book
