I think this is beautiful. I love the depth, meaning, and symbolism of this ceremony. Truly very special. If people are following the mindset that this ceremony offers, they will definitely be edified by each other. So lovely!.❤ Thank you for sharing 💯

@@Nioteas I just received my mega sampler with my Chashaku, Chasen, Chawan, Kyusu and I gotta say shipping was ridiculously fast. 1.5 days and I just enjoyed my first cup ever. I have always loved green tea but I have never tried matcha brewed the traditional way. Chanoka Silver is the first one the list and I am making my down the line. Just want to say thank you and im definitely looking forward to trying more n more. I wanted the perfect set for brewing matcha and the universe has helped in its manifestation thanks to your video. Much love and gratitude 🙏 ❤ Also how could I purchase more of a certain type of matcha? Or is it only in "sample packs"?

@@JoEl-fv1xx Yes! I loved green tea for many years before learning about the unique Matcha. I have no one (pandemic isolation) to share with and it took awhile to loosen up ang get the whisking action right. I skip the sweets, as I want to savor the aftertaste of the Matcha. It puts me in a ''mindful'' state perfect for meditation. I tried a number of brands and then began to wonder if the elaborate ''tins'' they all came in was a significant part of the price. Then I tried several that, while still ceremonial grade, were considerably less expensive, and shipped in sealable packets. Now I have settled on Encha brand- it is so frothy! I am sure purists and experts would (politely!) chortle at my ''tea ceremony'', but it is my humble expression of the purity of heart and harmony that I see represented in this fine video!

Thank you for the detailed video. I would lime to purchase the tea set, is it made in Japan (all components)?

What is the usual volume of a hishaku? I recently prepared and practiced making matcha however, the instructions on the matcha called for 1g of matcha to 70ml of water - is this right?

How does one share matcha for multiple guests, and when should one use the bowl that has the spout? How much water to add after the 2-3 oz of water if you’re going to enjoy it out of the bowl with only hot water?

@Nioteas

11 ай бұрын

you can either use the bowl with the spout and serve it in tiny porcelain cups or you can mix a fresh bowl for each guest

hi, i'm struggling to find any info online on how to heat the chagama. its a type of coal right? is it safe for indoor use? i dont want to set off my fire alarm 🤣 if you have any sources of info on the correct way to light the chagama could you let me know please? also if there are any alternative heating methods for the chagama (ie smokeless heating methods), specifically for a pretty small chagama, as mine is not very big, could you let me know please? thank you!

The tea master had assistance (for want of a more appropriate term) go in and out during the ceremony; does one bow to them as they enter/exit?

that's a good question. This assistant came in to present the sweets as well and we bowed to them at that point but not necessarily when she just comes in to help the other

When the cup is presented to the guest does the guest then sip the tea in increments or do they have to consume the entire cup in one go?

@Nioteas

9 ай бұрын

if they use thin matcha each guest should get their own bowl. For the special tea ceremonies where Koicha or thick matcha is consumed, the bowl will be passed

@LizaCya

8 ай бұрын

you take sips but do not lower the bowl down in between sips. as Nioteas said, for thin tea (usucha) you get your own bowl and finish it all - for koicha you will have to take only one-two sips to leave enough for the other guests. The last lip is taken with a slurp so the host knows you are done (and to fully empty out the matcha and not waste a single drop). so... in short - no, you never down a bowl of tea in one go. (also, it's likely too hot)

I love his wonky pronunciation. XD My sensei would kill me.

@Nioteas

6 ай бұрын

Yes I am still learning the pronunciation

I came because of Samurai Jack

To my taste, using hot boiling water for matcha -even if you pour slowly- makes the matcha way too bitter. Mostly 70-80° celsius is perfect for me. Perhaps I'm missing something.

"Matcha" just means powdered tea, so when you say "matcha tea powder" you're really saying "powdered tea tea powder." Just say "matcha," no need to specify that it's tea (that's what "cha" means) and no need to specify that it's powder (that's what "mat" is for).

Not much tranquility here listening to 10 minutes of talk without pause... Man, breathe!
