MATCHA SIFTER | Sift your matcha in advance

A Matcha sifter or Matcha sieve is a must-have accessory for creating a frothy cup of Matcha tea. Prevent the natural effects of clumping green tea matcha easily by sifting your Matcha through our matcha sifter.

Matcha powder is extremely fine. This is ideal for making a smooth beverage, but clumps are a natural characteristic of matcha.

Matcha is stone ground into powder and static electricity can cause the powder to clump. You can't stop clumps, but you can manage them. Using a matcha tea sieve before whisking can easily break down the clumps into a fine, beautiful powder.

Sifting matcha powder through the matcha tea sifter, the matcha will dissolve easier when whisking. This creates an even infusion with rich flavor and full aroma.

How to Sift Matcha Tea

Place the matcha sifter over the cup or bowl you will use for whisking. Using a matcha spoon (or chashaku) put two scoops of matcha into the matcha sifter. Using the backside of the chashaku, gently press the powder through the matcha sieve until the fine particles drop into your bowl.

Add a few tablespoons of hot water into the bowl. Whisk your matcha until blended. Add the remaining water and whisk until the matcha produces a creamy froth.

To help prevent clumping, it is important to store your matcha in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This will help maintain the quality and freshness of the powder.

By taking these simple steps, you can ensure that your matcha tea is always delicious and enjoyable to drink. So next time you make yourself a cup of matcha, remember to sift, store, and whisk for the perfect cup every time.
