Ukuba ubone abantu abaninzi betshintshiselana ngekofu ngee-latte ze-matcha kwimidiya yoluntu kutshanje, mhlawumbi sele uqalile ukukhangela kwi-intanethi umgubo we-matcha ongcono wokuzenzela owakho ekhaya. I-Matcha ithandwa ngoku, kodwa ayisosiselo sitsha; umkhwa wokugaya amagqabi eti amatsha abe ngumgubo ocolekileyo ukwenza isiselo esiluhlaza esiphilayo ususela kwiminyaka ephantse ibe liwaka. I-Matcha ityebile kwii-antioxidants kunye ne-amino acid L-theanine, ekholelwa ukuba inceda ukuphumla ingqondo nomzimba kwaye inike amandla azinzileyo nazinzileyo. Njengoko uza kubona ngezantsi, i-matcha ekumgangatho ophezulu iveliswa eJapan, apho idlala indima ephambili kwiinkcubeko zemveli ezifana nomsitho weti.
Nangona singenakukwazi sonke ukuya eJapan ngenqwelo moya ukuze sifumane eyona matcha ilungileyo kwihlabathi (kwaye iiwallet zethu azisivumeli ukuba sityelele iivenkile zekofu yonke imihla), kukho iipowder ezininzi ze matcha ezikumgangatho ophezulu nezikhethwe ngononophelo ezikuvumela ukuba wenze i matcha emnandi ekhaya. Ukuze sifunde indlela yokukhetha ipowder ye matcha efanelekileyo, sidlan’ udliwanondlebe neengcali ezimbini: uZach Mangan, umseki wenkampani yeti eseNew York iKettel Tea (efumana iti ngqo eJapan), kunye noRemi Morimoto Park, umbhali weblogi kwibhlog yeresiphi ye-vegan iVeggiekins kunye nomseki webhrendi ye matcha iFrauth. Sikwavavanye kwaye senza inqwaba enkulu ye matcha ekhaya ukuqinisekisa ukuba isiko lethu lasekuseni limalunga neendaba (kwaye kungekuphela nje into yokundithatha).
Nokuba ujonge ukunciphisa ixesha lokutyelela iivenkile zekofu kwaye wonwabele iingenelo zesi siselo sityebileyo kwi-antioxidant, okanye wongeze nje uxolo oluncinci kwisiko lakho lasekuseni, nazi iindlela zokupheka ezilithoba ze-matcha ezifanelekileyo zokwenza ekhaya.
Olu hlaziyo luquka: Songeze iinkcukacha ezithe vetshe ngezona zixhobo zibalaseleyo zokwenza i-matcha, sagqamisa i-matcha yethu esiyithandayo evela kwi-Fellow Matcha Kit, saza saphucula izichazi zethu ezibalaseleyo ukuze senze iingcebiso zethu zichaneke ngakumbi.
Isizathu sokuba sithande iKettel: IKettel ayifumani nje kuphela amagqabi ayo eti evela eJapan kodwa ikwawapakisha kwifektri yayo eFukuoka ngaphambi kokuba iwathumele kubathengi ngenqwelo moya. IKiyona Matcha kaKettel ibonakalisa oku kuzibophelela kumgangatho kunye nengqalelo kwiinkcukacha, nto leyo eyenza ibe yimatcha esiyithandayo yemihla ngemihla. Inencasa ethambileyo netyebileyo kwaye ixabiso layo lifanelekile kwabo baxabisa imatcha ekumgangatho ophezulu. Le matcha imnandi kancinci iyasebenziseka, ityebile kwaye iyahlaziya, ifanelekile ukuselwa yonke imihla, ishushu kwaye ibanda, kwaye yenza iti emnandi okanye i-matcha latte. Ngaba ufuna ukuzonwabisa? Kwiwebhusayithi yeKettel, uza kufumana imatcha efanelekileyo kuwe, ukusuka kwabo baphakelwa kakuhle ngobisi ukuya kwabo baxutywe kakuhle.
Esifuna ukukuthetha kukuba akukho zikhalazo malunga nomdlalo kaKiyona, kodwa abanye banokumfumana enomsindo kancinci.
Isizathu sokuba siyithanda: Eyona nto ibalaseleyo kwiRocky's Matcha kukupakishwa kwayo: itini yesinyithi eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka enemibala eqingqiweyo phezulu kunye nelebheli eluhlaza eqaqambileyo ecaleni, echaza uhlobo lwe-matcha, iintlobo ngeentlobo, kunye neempawu zayo. Yasekwa nguRocky Xu ngo-2022, le bhrendi intsha ibonakalisa umoya opholileyo nomhle, ukusuka kwiimpahla zayo kunye neti ukuya kwintsebenziswano yayo yakutshanje nebhrendi yobuhle ecocekileyo iSaie. Le Ritual Matcha yindibaniselwano yeentlobo ezintathu ze-matcha—i-Okumuro, iSaemuro, kunye neYabukita—ebangela ubume obuthambileyo kunye nenye yezona mibala ziluhlaza ziqaqambileyo nezinamandla esakha sazingca. Ngaphandle kokuba krakra, le Ritual Matcha ithambile, ityebile, kwaye inevumba elimnandi, okwenza ukuba ifaneleke ukusetyenziswa imihla ngemihla, nokuba kwiti okanye kwi-matcha lattes. Kwabo bafuna amava amnandi ngakumbi, le bhrendi ikwabonelela ngeeti zemvelaphi enye, imixube yendalo, kunye nomgubo we-hojicha.
Singathanda ukukhankanya ukuba ngenxa yokuthandwa kwebhrendi yethu, ezinye zeencasa zethu ziphela ngokukhawuleza emva kokuqaliswa kwayo. Oku sikuthatha njengophawu lokuzama iimveliso ezintsha.
Siyayithanda le ti kuba yenye yezona ntlobo zibalaseleyo ze-matcha ezivela e-Ippodo, inkampani yeti eseKyoto ebeyiyeyona nto iphambili ekulinganiseni umgangatho we-matcha ukusukela ngo-1717. Le ti ye-Isemon inencasa etyebileyo ye-umami, umbala oluhlaza oqaqambileyo, kunye nevumba elimnandi. Incasa ithambile kwaye igcwele umzimba, inencasa yomhlaba omncinci, kodwa ayinakrakra. Ngenxa yobumnandi bayo bendalo, ndikhetha ukuyipheka ngamanzi endaweni yobisi. Le ti ihluzwa lula, kwaye ukuyixuba ngamandla kuvelisa igwebu elityebileyo elinoburhabaxa, obuthambileyo kwaye kungabikho maqhuqhuva.
Kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuba le ti ipakishwe eJapan kwaye ihlala ixesha elifutshane—u-Ippodo ucebisa ukuba uyitye kwisithuba senyanga emva kokuba ivuliwe. Sicebisa ukuba ukhethe ibhotile encinci (ingakumbi xa ixabisa kakhulu) ukuqinisekisa ukuba uyonwabela iti xa ikwimeko entle kakhulu. Ukuba ufuna i-Ippodo esemgangathweni kodwa ufuna ukuqala ngeti engabizi kakhulu, iti zabo zeSayaka kunye neHourai nazo zilungile.
Singathanda ukukhankanya ukuba le ti ye-matcha ibiza kakhulu (yiyo loo nto inexabiso eliphezulu kakhulu), kwaye kungcono ukuyisela ngokukhawuleza emva kokuba uyivulile. Ke ngoko, ifanelekile ngakumbi kwabo basela i-matcha yonke imihla, kunabo bayisela ngamaxesha athile.
Uluvo lweengcali: UNksz Park uthe le yi-matcha eyayityiwa ngumakhulu wakhe esengumntwana, ngoko ke kufuneka ukuba yi-matcha esemgangathweni ophezulu.
Isizathu sokuba siyithanda: I-matcha kaNaoki ekhuliswe ngomthunzi ifumaneka nge-$25 kuphela, nto leyo eyenza ukuba ibe lolona khetho lufanelekileyo kubantu abatsha kwi-matcha. Le matcha inombala oluhlaza oqaqambileyo, kwaye utywala bulungelelene kakhulu, bunencasa encinci yeentyatyambo kwaye buncinci kakhulu. Imnandi xa iphakelwa ishushu okanye ibanda, kwaye ilungile kakhulu ekwenzeni i-matcha lattes. Ukuba emva kwekomityi yakho yokuqala ufuna into entsha, zama enye yeentlobo ze-matcha ezidumileyo ze-brand. — Umbhali uKarina Finn
Isigqibo sethu kukuba olu hlobo lwe-matcha alunancasa kwaye alunambitheki njengezinye, ngoko ke ukuba ufuna incasa etyebileyo neqinileyo, ungakhetha uhlobo olwahlukileyo lwe-matcha.
Isizathu sokuba siyithanda: Umgubo we-matcha weGolde ongokwemvelo usisiseko esihle kakhulu se-lattes ezishushu nezibandayo, uhambelana kakuhle nalo naluphi na uhlobo lobisi. Unesimo esithambileyo, ivumba elincinci lemifuno, kunye nobumnandi bendalo. Incasa ayinamandla kakhulu, nto leyo eyenza ukuba ilungele ukongeza kwizitya zesidlo sakusasa ezifana neyogathi okanye i-chia seed pudding. Ngaphezu koko, lo mgubo we-matcha wenza i-foam etyebileyo, ekhrimu, enika incasa emnandi. Njengazo zonke ii-superfoods zeGolde, lo mgubo we-matcha uza kwijagi eluhlaza eqaqambileyo, nto leyo eyenza ukongeza okuhle kuyo nayiphi na i-countertop yasekhitshini.
Singathanda ukukhankanya ukuba abo bathanda incasa ye-matcha etyebileyo banokufumanisa ukuba iGolde's ayithambi kakhulu.
Siyayithanda kakhulu iMatchaful, uphawu lwe-matcha olusekwe ngabasetyhini oluneekhefi ezininzi kulo lonke iSixeko saseNew York (enye yazo ikufutshane neofisi yethu). I-matcha yabo ye-Hikari enemvelaphi enye yenza kube lula kum ukuphinda ndizenzele ii-latte zam endizithandayo zesitayile se-cafe ekhaya (njenge-Chai Fountain eneti yobisi lwaseIndiya kunye ne-Ganoderma lucidum okanye i-Cacao Dream ene-cacao kunye ne-chaga mushroom). I-matcha ye-Matchaful yenziwe kwifama enye kusetyenziswa amagqabi eti avunwa kuqala, akhuliswe emthunzini kwaye angenazo izibulali-zinambuzane, okwenza ukuba ihlale ixesha elide kwaye ibonelela ngokubonakala kwezithako—inzuzo eqinisekileyo. Le matcha yemvelaphi enye inencasa ekhanyayo, enamantongomane, kunye neentyatyambo. Ilungile ngakumbi kwii-latte, kodwa ikwamnandi namanzi okanye kwi-smoothie. I-Matchaful isandula ukukhupha i-matcha yayo ye-Tsuyuhikari enemvelaphi enye njengohlelo olulinganiselweyo, kwaye mna ngokwam ndilangazelela ukuyizama.
Singathi kunzima ukugxeka iti yeHikari matcha esele ivavanyiwe. Ine-astringency ecacileyo, kodwa ayikrakra; ukuba ufuna i-umami, incasa yayo ye-umami isenokungabonakali kangako.
Siyayithanda i-Isshiki kuba isebenzisa umgubo we-matcha ofanayo noweMoko, indawo yokutyela yaseJapan ekwi-East Village eNew York evuliwe imini yonke. Udumo lwe-Isshiki lwanda kakhulu emva kokusebenzisana neebhrendi zobuhle kunye nendlela yokuphila ezifana neTatcha kunye ne-WTHN kwiziselo eziphefumlelwe yi-latte. Njengakwindawo yokutyela, lo mgubo we-matcha unencasa ethambileyo, ethambileyo enokulinganisela okugqibeleleyo kobumnandi bendalo kunye nevumba elimnandi lomhlaba. Ngaphandle kobukrakra, imnandi ngokuthe ngqo namanzi okanye kwi-latte, kwaye ihambelana kakuhle nezinye iincasa, njenge-syrups yeziqhamo okanye ubisi olutyebileyo olusekwe kwizityalo njengobisi lwe-pistachio.
Isigqibo sethu sesokuba olu luhlobo lwe-matcha oludumileyo, ngaphandle kokuba ukhetha i-matcha enamandla, enencasa engakumbi, okanye engcono kancinci.
Siyayithanda le siselo kuba: Bendisoloko ndisela i-matcha iminyaka kwaye ndisoloko ndiphethe ibhotile endala yomgubo we-matcha, eyahlala iintsuku ezimbalwa. Iipakethi ze-matcha zikaPique ezisetyenziswa kanye zenza le nkqubo ibe lula kakhulu. Ibhokisi nganye ineepakethi ezingama-28 ezilingana ngokulula kwibhegi yokusebenza okanye kwimpahla oza kuyiphatha, nto leyo ekuvumela ukuba ulungiselele indebe emnandi ye-matcha nanini na, naphi na, ngaphandle kwezixhobo zokulinganisa. I-matcha inobume obuthambileyo nobuthambileyo obungenabukrakra. Ngokuphathelele amabango akwiphakheji malunga "nobuso obukhazimlayo, amandla amaninzi," okanye "ukukuguqula ube nguthixokazi okhazimlayo," andinakuthetha ngokunyaniseka kwabo, kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo uPique wenza kube lula kakhulu ukonwabela i-matcha nanini na, naphi na.
Ngokwembono yethu, nangona incasa yale ti ye-matcha iphantsi kancinci, ilungile ngokwaneleyo ukuba isetyenziswe lula kwaye iphatheka lula.
Kutheni sizithanda iiNavitas Organics: Sizithanda ukutya kwazo okunezityalo ezifana nembewu yecacao kunye ne-chia, kwaye i-matcha yazo ayifani. Le matcha ikumgangatho ophezulu, ekumgangatho wokupheka ifanelekile ekubhakeni (njengeekuki ze-matcha okanye i-chocolate mochi enebhotolo kunye ne-matcha) kunye nesidlo sakusasa (njenge-matcha, imango, kunye ne-chia seed pudding). Ikwafikeleleka lula, nge-$18.85 kuphela ngee-ounces ezi-3. Phakathi kweendlela ezahlukeneyo zokupheka i-matcha, le ayinakrakra kangako, incasa ethambileyo, enengca, kwaye inyibilika lula kakhulu.
Esikutshoyo kukuba le ti ye-matcha ilungele ukubhaka nokupheka kunokuba iselwe ngqo okanye yenziwe ngee-latte kuba incasa yayo ayityebanga njengezinye iintlobo ze-matcha zemveli, kwaye i-umami yayo nayo ayinamandla kangako.
Xa sikhetha umgubo we-matcha okumgangatho ophezulu, siqwalasele ngononophelo imvelaphi yawo, uhlobo lwawo (ukwahlula phakathi kwe-matcha yesiqhelo kunye nohlobo lokutya), incasa, kunye nobunjani bawo. Kuhlobo ngalunye lomgubo we-matcha, siqale siwufake ngqo emanzini size siwusebenzisele ukulungisa ii-lattes ezibandayo nezishushu, ngokulandelelana.
Ukwenza i-matcha esemgangathweni ophezulu ekhaya kufuna okungaphezulu nje komgubo we-matcha okumgangatho ophezulu. Kufuna iseti ethile yezixhobo—ezona zilula kakhulu sisitya (isitya seti) kunye ne-tea whisk (i-chasen)—kodwa ezinye izixhobo, ezifana nesihluzo esifanelekileyo okanye i-teapot echanekileyo, zinokunceda ukuphakamisa umgangatho we-matcha yakho ukusuka ekubeni “kulungile” ukuya ekubeni “intle kakhulu.” Nazi ezinye iingcebiso zokwenza i-matcha egudileyo, engenamaqhuqhuva.
Ikiti ye-matcha ekhethwe ngononophelo yindlela entle yokuqalisa ngesi siselo ekhaya, kuba siquka phantse yonke into oyifunayo (kwaye ngamanye amaxesha nangaphezulu). Ukuba ukhetha ikiti enokuboniswa kwikhawuntara yekhitshi lakho kwaye iphindwe kabini njengento yokuhombisa, sicebisa ikiti ye-Fellow. Ikiti ye-Rocky's, kwelinye icala, iquka ibhotile ye-matcha powder engama-20-gram kwaye ayifuni khawuntara okanye indawo yokugcina izinto, kodwa isenayo yonke into oyifunayo.
Xa upheka imatcha, kubalulekile ukusebenzisa iketile enobushushu obuhlengahlengiswayo, njengoko amanzi ashushu kakhulu anokubangela incasa ekrakra. Yiyo loo nto sizixabisa kakhulu iiketile zeFellow.
I-matcha latte emnandi ayinakwahlulwa kubisi olufakwe igwebu ngokupheleleyo. Ukuba ufuna ukufudumeza nokukhupha igwebu ubisi ngokucofa iqhosha, iNespresso Aeroccino ngokuqinisekileyo lolona khetho lulungileyo; nangona kunjalo, ukuba ubisi sele lufudunyeziwe, igwebu lobisi oluphathwayo nalo luya kufezekisa isiphumo esifanayo.
Umgangatho we-matcha uqala ngemvelaphi yawo—yonke i-matcha ecetyiswayo apha ngasentla ivela ngqo eJapan. Uninzi lwayo lukhuliswa e-Uji, ummandla waseJapan onembali ende neyaziwayo yokuveliswa kwe-matcha. I-Mangan icebisa ukuba iJapan idweliswe njengelizwe lemvelaphi kwiphakheji, kodwa kungcono nokuba ibekwe kuluhlu lommandla, isixeko, kunye nomvelisi (umzekelo, i-Uji Prefecture, i-Fukuoka Prefecture, i-Aichi Prefecture, kunye neKagoshima and Shizuoka Prefectures ezithandwa kakhulu, ezaziwa nge-matcha yazo yendalo).
Sikwaqwalasele izinto ezininzi zokupakisha, njengoluhlu lwezithako kunye nomhla wokuphelelwa. UPark ucebisa kakhulu ukukhetha i-matcha engenaswekile eyongezelelweyo okanye izinto ezithintela ukugaywa njengesitatshi. Ngokuphathelele umhla, uMangan ucebisa ukuyiprinta ezantsi kwetini okanye ebhegini. “Ngokungafaniyo newayini, incasa ye-matcha ayiphucuki ngokuguga okanye ukugcinwa emva kokugaywa. I-matcha kufuneka ityiwe ngokukhawuleza emva kokugaywa.” Iimpawu ezikumgangatho ophezulu ezifana neKettel okanye i-Ippodo zingcono ukutyiwa kwinyanga emva kokuvulwa.
Ekugqibeleni, sivavanye incasa kunye nobume be-matcha. Kakade ke, uMnu. Park wasikhumbuza ukuba incasa ye-matcha, njengeyekofu, ixhomekeke kwimbono yomntu. Abanye bakhetha i-astringency ecacileyo kwi-matcha, ngelixa abanye bekhetha incasa etyebileyo ye-umami. Ngokuphathelele ubume, sikhangele i-matcha egudileyo, engenabume obufana neengceba, enyibilika ngokukhawuleza emanzini emva kokuhluzwa, kwaye enokubethwa ibe yi-foam etyebileyo kusetyenziswa umxube okanye i-whisk.
I-matcha yeklasi yesiko yeyona ti iphezulu, ifanele ukuselwa. UNjingalwazi uPark ucacisile ukuba ngenxa yokuba i-matcha ivunwa kwiqabunga lokuqala lamagqabi eti lonyaka, inencasa etyebileyo, izondlo ezingaphezulu, kunye nombala oqaqambileyo. I-matcha yeklasi yesiko isetyenziselwa kuphela imisitho yeti yaseJapan, ngelixa i-matcha yeklasi yokupheka ivunwa kwiqabunga leti elivunwa kamva kwaye ifanelekile ukupheka okanye ukubhaka.
Nangona zombini iti ye-matcha kunye ne-green tea zivela kwisityalo esinye, iindlela zazo zokucubungula zahlukile, nto leyo ebangela umahluko kwincasa, ubume, kunye nombala. Iti eluhlaza ikhuliswa elangeni, ngelixa i-matcha ifakwa umthunzi iiveki ezimbalwa ngaphambi kokuba ivunwe. Umthunzi uyandisa umxholo we-chlorophyll, nto leyo eyinika umbala oluhlaza oqaqambileyo. Ngaphezu koko, i-matcha ithengiswa njengomgubo ocoliweyo ngamatye, ngelixa iti eluhlaza idla ngokupakishwa kwiingxowa zeti okanye ithengiswe ingaxutywanga. Ngenxa yokuba i-matcha yenziwe ngomgubo, ngelixa amagqabi eti apheleleyo etyiwa, ixabiso layo lesondlo (njengomxholo we-antioxidant kunye ne-amino acid L-theanine) liphezulu. I-Matcha ikwanencasa etyebileyo, emnandi kunye nobume obuthambileyo.
UMangan ucebisa amanzi abilayo, emva koko ugalele i-65 ml yamanzi ashushu kwikomityi encinci uze uwavumele aphole kancinci. Galela amanzi ashushu kwikomityi yeti engenanto (ikomityi yeti yaseJapan) uze uyiyeke ihlale okwethutyana. Lahla ikomityi yeti efudumeleyo uze uyomise ngetawuli ecocekileyo. Yongeza i-1.5-2 grams yomgubo we-matcha uze uyihluze ngesihluzo (koi) phezu kwekomityi yeti. Xa amanzi asekomityi epholile ukuya kuma-77-82 degrees Celsius, yigalele kumgubo we-matcha. Shaya umgubo we-matcha kancinci emanzini, uze uwuxube ngamandla ngendlela ejikelezayo de uphume igwebu. Phakamisa igwebu phezu kwegwebu uze uqhubeke uvuselela kancinci de kuphume igwebu elincinci. Bamba ikomityi yeti ezantsi, yizise emilebeni yakho, kwaye wonwabele isiselo.
UMangan ucebisa ukuba ufake iipakethe ze-matcha ezingavulwanga efrijini emva kokuthenga uze uqhubeke nokuzibeka efrijini emva kokuvula. Ukuze ugcine i-matcha iluhlaza, ipakethe ingagcinwa kwingxowa yeplastiki engangeni moya. Iintlobo ezininzi ze-matcha zipakishwa kwiingxowa zefoyile ye-aluminium, ezibekwa kwiitini ezincinci ezineeplastiki ezifunxa ioksijini okanye izivikelo. Musa ukulahla ezi ngxowa zeplastiki okanye izivikelo; zinceda ekuthinteleni i-matcha ukuba ingangeni emoyeni (i-oxidation iyayitshabalalisa ngokukhawuleza incasa kunye nombala we-matcha).
