I have no idea in grams , this is mezame tsuki matcha , i used two teaspoons and lactosefree milk ( for lattes i prefer lactose free milk the latte tastes better) and i used a frother for making the cloud …

Now this tastes really good to me.
But i wanna know did i do good ??

Hey, saw this on my feed and decided to check it out. Reallly wanna see what this matcha hype is about. Lmk if anyone else is attending. I have stayed at gostops but never attended their events. If anyone has, lmk if they are good.

I had matcha at every chance I got there

I am fairly new to this game
Have had matcha lattes in cafes
I gave in and bought mezame yuki matcha
Bought the chasen holder and the whisk and the bowl
Made matcha today finally
I used mango puree, almond milk and yuki matcha
Didnt get the exact measurements maybe that’s why?
I put the chasen in hot water and sifted the matcha and everything
Oat milk is better w matcha but i heard its not necessarily good for you
Im so sad
I didnt even get a microfoam
I heard that takes time
But i couldnt even TASTE THE MATCHA
I’m sad
What did i do wrong besides maybe everything.
Please help me out open to tips and suggestions

Using noon matcha and oatly oat milk and for sweetener jaggery powder. ( oh and my cutie caramel the cat)

Any suggestions for good sweeteners ?

Is this matcha way too strong?

Matcha latte workflow with Heapwell matcha and Alt Co almond milk

Hi everyone so, it's been almost half a year since I began my matcha journey.

One thing I keep noticing is that how people have such strong opinions when it comes to milk for matcha lattes.

I have tried both oat and almond milk.

And I personally would always pick almond.

But it has such a negative rep in the community, I've seen people saying oat is better, it brings out the matcha whereas almond competes with it and kills it.

And if you prefer the "inferior" choice then all of a sudden you don't actually like matcha and you're just here for the trend. I think we all agree there is some form of elitism associated with matcha where people tend to look down on others.

And I already know and understand that it doesn't really matter and you are allowed to like what you like.

But as still relatively new, I'm still trying to understand why that is, hoping to know more about why do such a vast majority prefer oat, and if there's something inadequate in my assessment and I'm missing out on a key aspect, I'm totally up for suggestions and opinions. (I've ordered it again to test it one more time)

I have found the opposite to be true for me.

I've given both oat and almond a good amount of time and really hoped that oat would grow on me.

But in my experience I found oat milk to have a much stronger cereal, leaning taste and has seemed to always overpower the vegetal and earthy taste of matcha that I prefer.

Almond milk on the other hand appears lighter and more neutral to me and it allows the stronger matcha flavour to stand out.

But ofc pallette and preferences could vary.

For reference I prefer stronger matcha flavour so I use 4g ceremonial grade matcha (using kamaash no.5 atm)with 30-40ml water , 60ml milk and some monkfruit sweetner for sweetness and lots of ice.

Hey everyone, I just received a new Takayama chasen from Superbrew in India, and I noticed there are quite a lot of very fine bamboo fibers/frays sticking out from the tines.
I’ve attached some close-up photos. This is my first proper Takayama chasen, so I’m not sure what’s considered normal with handmade bamboo whisks.
Is this normal for a new chasen, or does this look like a finishing defect?
I haven’t used or trimmed it yet because I wanted to check with people who have experience with handmade chasen first.
Would really appreciate your opinions, especially from anyone who owns a Takayama chasen.
