• For a smooth ceremonial matcha after a long break, the key is to reset your basics: use 1.5 grams of matcha, water at 80°C, and whisk in a W motion for 15 seconds. If you notice clumps or bitterness, adjust the whisking speed and water temperature rather than the powder amount. These simple tweaks restore the delicate, sweet flavor of BrewNova ceremonial matcha.
• Use 1.5 g BrewNova ceremonial matcha per 60 ml water for the base, then adjust to taste.
• Water at 80°C is the sweet spot—too hot brings bitterness.
• Whisk in a zigzag motion, not circles, to get a smooth froth.
• If it's clumpy, sift the powder first or add water slowly.
• After a break, taste test and adjust one variable at a time.
