T.Kettle Part 7: The Matcha Roll Out
Tumblr media
Anyone who has ever worked in a tea shop with a tea bar, a cafe, or any establishment that serves lattes and other hot drinks can tell you that matcha is popular. From nearly the first day the store opened people had been asking for matcha. It took a while but we finally got T.Kettle brand matcha. At first though, it was only available to purchase on our wall in either prepacked tins or in weighed amounts.
I always hated scooping and weighing matcha. It gets everywhere so easily, and if you have pure and flavoured matchas then you need separate scoops and someone always ends up forgetting which is which. Thankfully our prepacked tins of matcha sold fairly well. The pure matcha wasn’t anything to go crazy over, nor was it something that left you wishing you hadn’t just drank that. It was a very nice medium grade. Not even close to a Grand Cru but very far from a culinary grade. It was just a good, fairly priced everyday drinker.
Tumblr media
Our flavoured matchas on the other hand were really hit and miss. A couple were very nice and made a great iced matcha while the others were terrible. No sugar coating it. But as the company rolled out the tins of matcha along with the new flavours, the next demand was for matcha to be served at the tea bar. Well, it just so happened that that was the next thing to be rolled out, starting with the company sending us the “tools” needed to make matcha at the tea bar.
Now there isn’t a ton of tools needed for this. Really all you need is a good matcha whisk and a proper bowl. Doesn’t have to be a matcha bowl made specifically for the purposes of matcha, but a nice wide bowl with a flat bottom will go a long way. When our box of “tools” arrived we found the company had sent us two electric whisks and a stainless steel milk frothing pitcher. Yep.
We were told that proper whisks would be arriving “at some point” and that when they did we could mark out a couple to use at the bar instead of the electric whisks, but for now that was the best they could do. A few day later they sent out a communication that included a matcha making instructional video, and how they wanted the managers to train the staff on making matcha. What they wanted was for each manager to watch the instructional first and then once they felt confident on making matcha correctly, each manager would have a teams meeting with a rep who would ask us to make a hot matcha and an iced matcha. If the rep okayed how it was prepared, we would be “certified” and could then train our teams.
Now not to toot my own horn, but I don’t need training on how to make matcha. I came from Teavana where we made matcha frequently on a daily basis. Now with that being said, not all managers had a background in tea or previous experience working in a tea shop. But for the sake of argument I watched the instructional video. I want to be clear when I say that this instructional was made by the head of tea development. The rep who had worked previously for DavidsTea and had all this experience and knowledge of tea. Please keep that in mind as you read the instructions we were provided for making matcha.
1. Place 8 teaspoons of pure matcha into your pitcher. If using flavoured matcha, added 10 teaspoons.
2. Add 1 cup of boiling water.
3. Blend well with electric whisk until thick and frothy.
4. Serve.
8-10 teaspoons??!!!
No I’m not joking. Was this a joke? This had to be a mistake. There was no way that anyone with even thimble of tea knowledge would tell you to use 8-10 teaspoons of matcha in a single cup of water. Even 4 teaspoons would have been overkill. But no, I watched the video over and over and sure enough that is exactly what he made, then drank it and said it was perfect.
Well, I wasn’t the only manager in the company who knew just how wrong this was. Manager reached out to manager, discussing the same issue, and before long the company had gotten concerned emails from the majority of store managers. All of them explaining just how incorrect these instructions were and that we were not going to train our teams this way. I even offered to volunteer my time and make a new and correct instructional video.
It was radio silence for the better part of a week. Then just before the due date for virtual matcha making certification to start, the company sent out a communication telling us to disregard the previous instructions, saying that they were “mistaken” with the head of tea development saying, he decided 8-10 scoops because the matcha wasn’t high grade and therefore needing more added. Now I’m not sure what their teaching people behind the scenes over at DavidsTea but I’m pretty sure this kind of logic isn’t it.
Even before I heard back from the company I told my staff to disregard the instructional video and that I would train them with proper instruction, but that should the company insist on using their ridiculous instructions that they should be ready to do in case anyone ever came in to test them. Luckily no one ever did, and the instructional video was revised. A few days later I logged on for my teams meeting with the rep for certification. I had no idea who this person was and had never seen them before, and it turned out she was someone from HR???
I asked her what she wanted me to do. She told me to make a hot matcha, and so I did just as a I normally would. Then she asked me to taste it. I took a sip and she asked me how it tasted. I told her it tasted how a pure hot matcha should taste, and she said, “Okay great! Your certified”. And that was the end of it. I wondered why someone from HR was conducting these certifications and what made her qualified to do so? I know I was wasn’t the only manager to question this.
Now that that was over and my staff has been trained we were ready to roll out serving hot matcha. I still remember the first person to come in and order a hot matcha. I made it for them perfect and passed it to them. “Do you have any milk?”, they asked.
“No, sorry”, I answered. “We don’t carry milk options.”
“Why?”, the customer asked with obvious confusion. I didn’t know what to say. Because the company wants you the customer to taste the tea the way it was meant to be tasted? I couldn’t give them that stupid line, so I said the only thing I truthfully could.
“I honestly don’t know sir, I apologize.”
To be continued...

Matcha Tea Loops
Ingredients:
[For 30 cookies]
➝ 150 gr 00 Flour
➝ 100 gr Rice flour
➝ 63 ml Seed oil (or light extra-virgin olive oil)
➝ 63 ml Oat milk (or rice, or soy, but cow’s milk is fine too)
➝ 100 gr Granulated sugar
➝ 12 gr of ammonia for cakes (or 1/2 sachet of baking powder)
➝ 12 gr of salt
➝ 12 gr Matcha Tea powder (or a bit more, according to your preferences)
[Coating]
➝ Granulated sugar or
➝ 150 gr Chocolate 80%
Preparation:
1. Sift the powders all together: flour + matcha powder and the leavening agent of your choice.
2. Emulsify oil and milk - add sugar and salt then mix. (Tip: I used an electric whisk, but it is not mandatory - the mixture will be well blended but not whipped)
3. Add the liquids to the flour and knead quickly with a fork or your hands: the dough will be similar to a shortcrust pastry but softer and more sticky.
4. Let the dough rest in the fridge for at least 60 minutes wrapped in cling film (Tip: it can also stay all night, even better)
5. Once the time has passed, take some small nuts of dough (Tip: I chose 15 gr so as not to have too large biscuits) and form small cords the thickness of a little finger and join them at both ends forming small loops.
6. Pass them in the granulated sugar on one side only and place them on the baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7. Bake at 190 degrees for about 10-12 min (Tips: they mustn't brown too much otherwise the dough will be too crunchy)
* For chocolate lovers like me: if you want to add a bit of spark, you can plan to bake them without sugar coat and dip them for half into melted chocolate. After you’ve done it, let the chocolate set in the fridge for 1 hour.
