How to Make Tea

Home   MAGAZINE   How to Make Tea
Tips & Recipes

December 04, 2019

1) Heat water to the correct temperature
In the picture below, you'll see the correct temperature for different kinds of tea. Notice that the stronger the tea, the higher the temperature. 

2) Measure the correct tea to water ratio
So...believe it or not...you can't just throw some tea in some hot water and expect it to turn out perfect. The correct amount of tea in the correct amount of water is SO important.

3) Steep for the correct amount of time 
Surprisingly, leaving the leaves in for over a minute or under a minute can make the biggest difference! Though people have different preferences, you should stay around the suggested times below. I like my tea strong so I tend to over-steep rather than under-steep.

MATCHA CULTIVARS

July 24, 2024

Matcha, like champagne, is crafted from specific cultivars, each contributing unique flavors. Sorate offers four cultivars: Yabukita (balanced, vibrant green), Samidori (deep green, mild), Asahi (rare, rich, creamy), and Okumidori (umami, bright green).

Single Cultivar matcha showcases one cultivar's traits, preferred by enthusiasts. Blended Cultivar matcha combines multiple cultivars for a balanced flavor, appealing to a broader audience. At Sorate, our diverse matchas highlight these unique flavors and qualities for a distinctive matcha experience.

disappointed

disappointed after trying this matcha directly after finishing my rockys osada tin. i was excited since this is supposed to be “the spot” to get matcha in nyc so i was expecting it to be good. its not bad its just average and honestly pretty chalky/grainy textured even afer fine sifting and whisking well. and theres an unpleasant bitter taste especially towards the bottom of my drink even after mixing and shaking it around to keep it from separating. i would definitely stick to ippodo and rockys in the future.

Delicious matcha powder, nutty and pairs well with whole milk for an iced latte
