I'm a "hipster" because I'm autistic when it comes to tradition and quality of things. I brew a matcha every morning with a whisk and traditional matcha tools. I also like to wear more traditional Western clothes with buttons and sometimes mix it with traditional Japanese style clothes like clog sandals. I even keep a samurai hairstyle and wash my hair with home made fermented rice water like ancient people did.
Any hipsters on Yas Forums?

I think I could pass for a hipster if I were gay.

I've never tried matcha. Maybe I should go buy some today. Been wanting to try for some time...
Do you have any advice for a matcha noob? Can I use a electric milk frother as whisk?
Should you eat something with the tea?

Here are basic things you need:
>Buy a matcha bowl(~$30), matcha whisk (~$10), and a bamboo tea spoon thing (~5).
>Warm kettle of boiled water.
>Pour slowly into bow to warm it around.
>Dry the bowl with towel
>pour 2 spoons matcha powder into bowl with bamboo stick. Make sure you even out the powder
>Pour 80°C water into. Only a couple drips.
>Mix up the powder into a sludge with no slid blocks
>Then pour more water
>Mix it with the whisk very fast in a "M" motion until it becomes foamy smoothe
Then drink

so redpill me on this Japanon, why would I do this and not just drink cheap green tea in tea bag form?
Lucas Sullivan
You can't drink matcha in bag form lol

Pretty much all teas are made from brewing tea leaves. Matcha is an exception because it's not brewing. You grind the leaves into powder and you drink the powdered leaves mixed into hot water. That's why you have to mix it whisk and drink it hot

Do they have this in Japan? It's very nice! Green tea is very relaxing.
