Know before you buy
Dark bamboo is a natural, durable material that provides a sturdy structure for the whisk's tines. It is free from chemical treatments, ensuring that no artificial substances or anti-mold agents leach into your tea.
Yes, this whisk is designed to handle both styles. The 100-prong configuration provides the flexibility needed to create a light, frothy usucha and the precision required to blend a smooth, rich koicha.
Rinse the whisk thoroughly with warm water immediately after use and allow it to air dry completely. To maintain its shape and longevity, store it upright or on a dedicated whisk stand to prevent the tines from bending or molding.
The 100-prong design is standard for achieving a consistent, fine foam. More prongs allow for faster aeration, which helps to properly emulsify the matcha powder and prevent clumps.
The handle is crafted from wood and designed with a lightweight profile. This makes it easy to maneuver during the rapid, zig-zag whisking motion required to achieve the perfect matcha consistency.
