Good to know...
When mixing Matcha drinks, be sure to make a "paste" with the Matcha powder first using a small amount of liquid. Slowly add remaining liquid and blend until smooth. (This is not necessary if using a traditional Japanese whisk or blender).
As with any green tea, using boiling liquids can cause a bitter taste and decrease some of the health benefits. We recommend using hot liquids just below boiling point.
