I had matcha before, it wasn't bitter at all...

Maybe one was "organic" and one wasn't? I don't fucking know. Anyone want a picture of the stuff I bought the first time? It was from a health food store that was bottoming out all their stuff because they were changing locations.

It was probably a 'matcha flavored ice tea drink' or something.

Look, matcha is crushed up tea. You are ingesting the entire thing. It goes against every principal of making good black tea, large leaves, careful steeping time. It's going to be bitter. That's why you drink it with sweet snacks.

Ever noticed how japanese sip their noodle and tea and make a lot of noise?

You know why it makes noise? Because they take air with pasta/tea as well and it makes it easier for the sound to travel without losing decibels: air is mostly made out of vacuum, while pasta/water means more collision so soundwave lose their strengh- but are actually faster too!-

Now, why is adding air making it cooler? it's not as much the air as the FLOW of air.
As we all know, we need to add energy (temperature is one form of energy) to transform 100℃ liquid water into 100℃ gaseous water (aka steam); This ammount of energy is named enthalpy of vaporization (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enthalpy_of_vaporization).).

It is to be noted that the vapor pressure equilibrium (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor_pressure)) also plays an important role. As we can infer from the terminology it IS an equilibrium. What does that mean? It means that even at 20℃ (standard ambiant temperature) some water will transform into vapour. Which is why water evaporates slowly, even without boiling!

Now, if we need energy to transform liquid water into gas water (steam) and that temperature is energy, it means that the water evaporating TAKES energy fromm somewhere!

And if it's an equilibrium, if you change the composition of the air above water to something that contains less gaseous water (steam), you will provoke some liquid water to turn into gaseous water (steam)!

So if you blow above hot water, it will evaporate faster, and the liquid water will get cooler.
OR if you slurp tea/ noodles and take an airflow alongside, you will cool them down while ingesting them!

Now you too understand the dark japanese ars magna of つるつる!!

>>11327093

yes, it shouldn't be lumpy

In regards to bitter matcha, it means the water was too hot or you went wild and whisked it for way too long (which would require impressive amounts of stamina). You know you got it right when the liquid has a taste to it like someone added msg to it but without the salt. Smell should be strong and taste should be pretty green with a little bit of sweetness. No sugar/milk necessary.

Anonymous Tue, Aug 20, 2013 02:21:53 No.11328010

>>11327815

I've tried various things, and the only guaranteed way to do it with storebought matcha (usually vacuum packed) is to pass it through a mesh/sieve beforehand. Obviously doing this every time you want some tea would take up way too much time, so if you just presift in small batches it works fine.

You can get a special container for it if you want (chaki or natsume I believe?), really anything that will hold enough tea for maybe a week or so will do. It works out better this way anyways since digging around in a container full of compacted matcha with the scoop usually results in massive clumps and sometimes a mess.

There are some suggestions that involve putting a little bit of water with the unsifted matcha, mushing it around with the whisk then pouring in the rest of the water and whisking as usual. You would have to spend quite a bit of time just getting the lumps to dissolve this way, and usually what ends up happening is a bunch of matcha gets stuck to the whisk.

I noticed that it kinda does fuck up my system. I have big high where I'm gung-ho, and then for the rest of the day I don't wanna do shit and I just shit around and funpost on /jp/.

I've tried cutting down before but I always go back. Is cutting down to one cup a day the key to being able to wake up before 9 without feeling like shit? Please help/respond, you are my only friends.

I wake up before 8:00 every day, and I never drink coffee or feel tired.

Go to bed 10 hours before the time you want to wake up, because it will take you a while to get to sleep. When you wake up in the morning, you will probably have a full night's sleep. Then, drink a lot of water as soon as you wake up, and wash your face to freshen up. Eat a good breakfast as well.

Bam, you are now feeling better than ever and no coffee needed.

Let's say we have a pool 20ft by 15ft. Goes from 3ft to 5ft.
Volume is (20 * 15 * 3) + (2 * 20 * 0.5 * 15) = 1200 cubic ft

Average filing cabinet is 2ft x 3ft x 4.5 ft
Volume is 27 cubic feet

1200 / 27 ~ 45 file-cabinets.

The material contained in filing cabinets doesn't matter as long as we are talking about non-compressible rigid-body structures.

True, coffee has more antioxidants per cup consumed, but think about it this way:

You can drink 10+ cups of green tea a day, and be perfectly fine
Drinking 10+ cups of coffee a day would be bad for you, so in the long run, drinking tea would give you more antioxidants while keeping you healthy than coffee.

Still, that study does seem pretty damn loaded.

My point was that none of those things are valid units of measurement.

It could just be a matter of causation vs. correlation. As in, people who live high-risk lifestyles are more prone to drinking lots of coffee.

Such as me. I picked up my four-six cups habit when trying to quit drugs and drinking. Of course, I'm still at a much higher risk for relapsing, and my activities as a drunk racked up a few dangerous debts. Plus there's suicide and all that.
