A little how-to

Three ways to find your tone.

Keep it simple. Start with matcha, then make the moment your own.

01 / classic

Whisk it bright.

Sift matcha into a bowl, add a splash of warm water, then whisk until smooth and softly frothy.

⌁
02 / creamy

Meet it with milk.

Pour your whisked matcha over milk, hot or cold. Add a little sweetener if that’s your kind of thing.

◯
03 / blended

Take the scenic route.

Blend with ice, milk or your favourite smoothie ingredients for a fresh, lively lift.

✳
For cafés & good company

Shigatsu is made to work in lattes, iced drinks and smoothies. For café, hospitality and wholesale enquiries, connect with Four Tone.
