Can someone who knows how please fix the broken image for this? I tried but couldn’t get it to work.
Eureka! I finally got sea green foam today for the first time in a long time. The secret? MORE MATCHA.
O-Cha recommends 1.5 to 1.75 chashaku. I did 2. I sifted. I heated the water to 175 in the Breville, then measured .5 cups and whisked. The foam came almost instantaneously!
I also used a different bowl. Not sure whether that makes a difference. I can’t think of why it should.
In any case, everything worked very nicely.
I don’t know whether it is psychological or not, but I think matcha tastes better with foam. Is it just that thing where a sandwich tastes better if someone else makes it? Or is it real?
This has a fluffy mouthfeel from the foam. It has a mild flavor with a slight downturn that isn’t sour or bitter but could be headed that way. In any case, it is pleasant, not disturbing.
It has an interesting, sweet pea note at the front of the sip and a grassy, seaweed finish. Not marine, like yesterday’s. More reminiscent of a field than an ocean.
My success today makes me want to go back and try all of the other matchas that were a miss in the foam department over again.
All in good time.
Flavors: Grass, Peas, Seaweed

Thanks to whoever fixed the image. What is the trick there? I could get the picture to show up in the additional pics but not in the one that is next to the name.
I fixed it. You just have to select the “Featured” option next to the photo that you want displayed as the main image when you’re editing the tea.
Huh. Is that in the screen you get after you click on edit tea? Or some other screen? I don’t recall seeing anything like that.
Yes, it’s the screen you get when you click “Edit Tea”. On the left side, at the top there is the featured image, and on the bottom there are small thumbnails of all the tea’s images. Underneath each thumbnail is a “Featured?” option and a “Delete” option.
I don’t believe an image that you’d just added will show up in the small thumbnails though, so that may be why you didn’t see it there.
Weird. I don’t get any thumbnails at the bottom. Just something that says “Featured.”
Oh, that is weird. Sounds like for some reason the images aren’t loading for you.
Here’s what it looks like for me: https://imgur.com/H2odPgN
I have never had anything display under the “choose image” button. I wonder what that is about?
