A Tea That Makes You High? All About Koicha

[@MilkByCow]

THC is legal in my country so sometimes I add some oil drops into my matcha. I had no idea matcha alone can have a similar affect. Trying making koicha next 😈

[@Nioteas]

I'm glad you liked the video! If you want to learn more about matcha you can watch this video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpjPlZWYn9iWe9U

[@luikaiser4712]

I have never seen anyone drink it so thick. Add more water to the left overs and drink it

[@Nioteas]

yes this is a good idea. It is really only used in special tea ceremonies

[@CoryHobbs2178]

Legal high? Now you have my attention

[@yxtsama]

I started watching this kind of videos and I want to try Matcha now but it's so expensive for my 3rd world ass :(

[@sometimesicryinthebasement5121]

I feel you. I have very little money and find it impossible to find a job.

What is the strongest one? I am trying to get rib of alcohol addiction

[@Nioteas]

Which matcha is strongest? I would say the gokou matcha koiai has a very strong savory flavor. The Chiran premium does as well: nioteas.com/

[@CoryHobbs2178]

P.S. Where is the guy that narrates all the videos?

[@jacobuwanawich5001]

i didn't get a high feeling or stress relief from the Wazuka Tea Nakai Superior at all ):

[@Nioteas]

I'm so glad to hear you liked it!

[@luikaiser4712]

Is that ceremonial matcha

[@Nioteas]

yes you have to use the very highest quality

[@luikaiser4712]

You didn’t put enough water - why?

[@Nioteas]

this is a concentrated matcha paste called Koicha

[@dhuskins]

He actually put in more water than normal for koicha. A serving of koicha is about 3 grams of matcha. I typically put 3 grams per serving plus one extra gram "for the bowl". Then, I add about 12 grams per serving (plus 2 for "the bowl") and knead it much more slowly than shown. That lets the leaves bloom and absorb the water fully. Once that happens, I add 18 more grams of water per serving (plus 2 for the bowl) and blend it in. This way, the tea is fully bloomed and at its best flavor, while still being tastefully hot. So, for 4g of matcha, I use 35g of water, split into two pours. What he showed in the video (based on the condition of the chasen) was probably 45 or 50 grams. He also whisked the koicha which will make it much more bitter than normal. For koicha, don't whisk it... knead it. The more agitation you do, the more tannic acid is pulled out of the leaves, overshadowing the sweeter amino acids. With the concentration of koicha, that difference is pronounced.
