hi folks,

i found 2 different mills or grinder for making your own matcha.

the first one is a cheap grinder for only 55 USD from kyocera and the second one is an expensive mill from samovarlife for 290 USD.

I am just a little curious about your motivation to buy one ... except the stone one is of course very cool.

Do you plan on buying tencha and making matcha versus buying matcha?

or just taking Sencha and making powdered sencha?

i'm interesting in experementing with it.
i'd like to take high quality sencha like yutaka midori and make my own powdered sencha.

are you using it or are you kidding me?

Ohhhh, now that is interesting. I would have zero interest in making my own matcha as I am certain I can get much better matcha than I could create.

But creating interesting powdered sencha ... and maybe even blending, that is interesting indeed.

i'm sure you would get a fine powder with the expensive mill.
but you have to rotate the mill for a long time to get it very fine.

is anybody able to read japanese?
if so, please tell me some interesting facts about the grinder from kyocera:

If I got it right:

You can get 100% of the healthy properties of the tea with the grinder, compared to 30% when you brew it.

You can set the grinder to get different granularity.

They don't seem to claim it possible to make real matcha with this grinder.

Ahhwww, the soggy leaf pile looks sad.

Yes Chip... only joking.

Sorry TJ, I seem to be missing something???
