# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The earthy matcha plays beautifully with oat milks natural sweetness, creating this velvety texture that feels indulgent but somehow light
  • Five minutes of whisking transforms into this café worthy moment that makes staying home feel like a treat
02 -
  • Water temperature matters more than you think - boiling water scorches the delicate matcha leaves and creates instant bitterness
  • The whisking motion isn't just for show - it aerates the matcha and creates that smooth mouthfeel that separates a good latte from a grassy disappointment
03 -
  • Sifting the matcha might feel fussy but it's the difference between smooth and clumpy every single time
  • Investing in ceremonial grade matcha transformed this from occasional treat to daily ritual - the flavor difference is genuinely worth it
