Is Matcha this high maintenance?

05.December, 2008

I just bought some matcha and the guy who sold it to me said in order for me to get the health benefits from it I HAVE to let it steep in 80 degree water for 5-6min. Also he said if I just pour boiling water in and make tea like normal I would be burning of ALL the health benefits and would be drinking green water. Even before putting it in ice cream and other deserts he said to let it steep in 75-80 degree water first..

Is this true? If so what are some easy ways to prepare?
I have 30g tin powder stuff.
Anybody?? I dont wanna waste this stuff.

Actually it is just like any other tea. If you let it steep longer, more of the extractives come out into the water. I suggest you get yourself a "tea ball" and just make it in the cup like normal. I cannot imagine putting in ice cream or other deserts.
