How to use

Old or new, we recommend soaking your bamboo whisk in a bowl of warm water for up to 2 minutes before every use. This will help to soften the bamboo and extends the shelf life of your whisk by making the tines more elastic. You may notice "blooming" of the tines as they gently unfold and spread.

After adding 1/2 teaspoon of matcha powder to a bowl and adding approx 1/3 cup of 85°C water its time to whisk. Hold your whisk vertically from the top and move vigorously back and forth using a "Z" or "M" motion. This should feel easy on your wrist. No need to scrape the bottom of the bowl, stay at the surface surrounded by water only. After about 20-30 seconds you should be able to see an inviting green foam. The rich frothy layer helps to mellow the bitterness of the matcha, bringing its delicate nuances to light which is what makes a delicious cup of matcha tea.

After use, gently rinse your whisk with warm water and store on the whisk holder to dry.
