Today's Utensils
Tea bowl, Tea spoon and Whisk.
Cloth to wipe the bowl and tea in tin.
First, Boil water.
I recommend to boil water by kettle.
If you had iron kettle it is ideal, but any kettle is no problem.
I recommend boil without rid of kettle.
Make warm bowl enough, and wipe by cloth to take drops off.
Pour boiled water into empty bowl in order to make bowl warm.
If you felt cool, please round the bowl, and warm bowl enough.
Then wipe with cloth. If any drops were left, powdered tea will be lampy.
Put tea into bowl
Place one and half heaping of Matcha spoonful tea into tea bowl.
"One and half" is one of mode of impression.
If we felt the first heap was too small, second is whole one more, and
if the frist was too much, please small at second.
Of course if you like rich taste, it is no problem with three heaping or
more.
Then please look tea condition, if you found any lumps, break it with tea
spoon.
It is against correct way, but it is very easy at cusual way.
Pour Boiling water
 Around 40 to 50ml of wate is basic, but if you like more, it is no problem
60 to 70ml.
Please try to change the balance of quantity of tea and water, aqnd find
your favorite taste.
Only you can find your favorite taste.

It is the most important.
