Organic Grand Cru Matcha Mini Tin: First Look & Brewing Guide

Quick answer

DAVIDsTEA's Organic Grand Cru Matcha Mini Tin is a high-grade, velvety matcha that delivers a smooth, bright green brew. Follow these steps to whisk it into a creamy, delicious cup every time.

How to brew Organic Grand Cru Matcha

1. Sift the matcha: Use a fine-mesh strainer to sift 1–2 teaspoons (about 2–3 grams) of Organic Grand Cru Matcha powder into a dry matcha bowl or cup. This breaks up clumps and ensures a smooth, lump-free brew. Skipping this step leads to clumps that won't dissolve, leaving a gritty texture.
2. Add cool water and whisk: Pour about 2 ounces (60 ml) of water heated to 160–175°F (70–80°C) into the bowl. Using a bamboo whisk (chasen), whisk in a gentle "W" motion for about 15–20 seconds until the matcha is frothy and evenly mixed. Water that's too hot will scorch the matcha, making it bitter. Stick to the lower end of the temperature range.
3. Top off and enjoy: Add another 4–6 ounces (120–180 ml) of hot water (or milk for a latte) and stir gently. Drink immediately—matcha loses its vibrant color and flavor as it sits. For a latte, use warm milk and whisk again briefly to combine. Avoid letting the brewed matcha cool completely before drinking.

Product facts

• Organic Grand Cru Matcha Mini Tea Tin: Delicately smooth & velvety, with a bright green colour and refreshing taste, Organic Grand Cru Matcha is one of the highest grade matchas on earth. Every vein is lovingly removed from green tea leaves, which are then ground into a superfine matcha powder that whisks into an impossibly creamy brew. This means you get a smoother, less bitter cup than standard matcha, and the superfine powder dissolves easily for a lump-free drink.
