Quick Answer
Brew Sweet Bubble Gum Matcha Green Tea by sifting the powder, whisking with hot (not boiling) water, and adjusting sweetness to your taste.
Why This Sweet Matcha Needs Special Care
Unlike plain matcha, this blend includes organic cane sugar and natural bubblegum flavoring. If you use water that is too hot, the sugar can caramelize slightly, giving a burnt taste. Keep water temperature between 160-175°F (70-80°C) to preserve the bright, juicy bubblegum note.
Step-by-Step Brewing Guide
- Sift the matcha powder: Place 1-2 teaspoons of Sweet Bubble Gum Matcha Green Tea into a fine-mesh strainer over a bowl. Gently tap or stir to break up any clumps. Clumps can cause a grainy texture. Do not skip sifting – it ensures a smooth, lump-free cup.
- Heat water to 170°F (77°C): Bring fresh filtered water to a boil, then let it cool for about 30 seconds. Avoid boiling water, as it will destroy the delicate matcha flavor and make the tea bitter. Use a thermometer or simply let boiling water rest briefly.
- Whisk in a 'W' motion: Pour 2-3 ounces of hot water over the sifted matcha. Use a bamboo whisk (chasen) to whisk in a quick 'W' or 'M' shape until the powder is fully dissolved and a light froth forms on top. Whisk briskly, not slowly – slow whisking leaves lumps.
- Add remaining water and adjust: Add another 3-4 ounces of hot water to reach your desired strength. Taste and decide if you want more sweetness. The blend already contains cane sugar, but you can add a drop of vanilla or a splash of milk for a creamier version. Taste before adding extra sweetener – the bubblegum flavor is already sweet.
