How to Brew
Sift 1.5–2g of matcha into a warmed chawan. Add one splash of 165–175°F water, incorporate until smooth. Add the rest of your 1.5- 2 oz water and whisk briskly in a W-motion until a fine, even froth forms.
For koicha, use 4g with 1.5 oz of water and fold slowly for a thick, meditative bowl.
You'll have to discover the nuances of each tea by tasting them in the set! Our set includes guided tasting notes.
How to brew:
- Warm your chawan tea bowl with hot water.
- Place 1.5-2g (1 tsp) of matcha into your chawan.
- Add 1 ounce of 160ºF-175ºF water to the tea and make koicha (a thick paste).

Mizuba Matcha Tasting Trio – Tsuyuhikari, Shirakawa & Yorokobi
What's Inside:
- Tsuyuhikari — A very special matcha hailing from the mist-covered tea farms in Haruno, Shizuoka, this tea is lovingly farmed, stone-milled, and crafted by a husband and wife team. Tsuyuhikari translates to "dew light," and is a relatively rare and premium cultivar known fora vibrant, deep green liquor, deep umami, refreshing aroma, and exquisite flavor.
- Shirakawa — Grown in the storied Shirakawa area of Uji, this blend delivers a refined, elegant cup with deep umami, a silky texture, and a clean, luminous finish. A luxurious tea made by one of Japan's most decorated matcha producers and a favorite among matcha devotees.
- Yorokobi — Meaning "joy" in Japanese, Yorokobi lives up to its name with a vibrant, uplifting character. Enjoy its verdant green color, gentle sweetness, and a balanced complexity as a result of being comprised of two rare cultivars: Okumidori & Kanayamidori.
