Three ways on How to Drink
Usucha - smooth/Light
A small quantity of matcha and a large quantity of hot water. It is named light, but the balance of hot water and matcha is just right and it can be drunk smoothly. It is also delicious when chilled with ice or dissolving match in cold water (Iced Matcha).
Koicha - Rich/Thick
A large quantity of matcha and a small quantity of hot water. This is a method of drinking matcha, which is prepared at about the thickness of a sauce and allows you to directly feel the quality of the matcha. In the tea ceremony, Koicha is often drunk when performing a prestigious tea ceremony. It is very bitter and is usually eaten with sweet foods such as Japanese sweets.
Matcha Latte
It is a modern style of drinking, combined with dairy milk or a variety of milk. Usucha and Koicha are usually drunk straight without sugar, but matcha latte is easier to drink and tastes better with milk and sweetness. It is also an easy way to drink for people who do not like(tolerate?) bitter taste and for children.
