2. Sift your matcha powder into a tea bowl, swirling the powder with your ladle.
3. Pour hot water, and using your chasen, whisk the tea in a gentle circular motion for thin and smooth tea for about 10-15 seconds. This will ensure there are no clumps so that your tea will be smooth.
4. Heat milk and carefully pour some hot milk into tea bowl with matcha powder.
5. Use a frothing pitcher and pour remaining milk into the bowl.

Origin
Yame is renowned across Japan for producing some of the finest high quality green tea in the whole country. Farmers work on small, remote plots of land high up in the mountains surrounding Yame. Kyushu’s largest plain receives 1,600 to 2,400 mm of rainfall per year, and temperatures are high during the day and drop drastically at night, which is important if you want to grow rich, sweet tea in large amounts. The temperature, shade and mist creates the perfect environment to nurture delicate teas. The ethereal mist and fog often found blanketing the fields in the morning don’t just add an air of mystery and beauty; they protect the leaves from the sunshine’s harshest rays.
