Know before you buy
The 100-prong design is specifically engineered to incorporate more air into the tea, which is essential for achieving a smooth, consistent froth. This density is ideal for both thin (usucha) and thick (koicha) matcha preparations.
Rinse the whisk thoroughly with warm water after each use and gently pat it dry. Avoid using soap or a dishwasher, as these can damage the natural bamboo fibers and affect the flavor of your tea.
Yes, the container is vital for maintaining the whisk's shape. Storing the whisk in its case helps the prongs retain their curve and prevents them from becoming brittle or misshapen over time.
No, the bamboo is naturally chemical-free and untreated, ensuring it remains neutral. It is designed to preserve the delicate, grassy notes of high-quality matcha without adding any external flavors.
It is best to use hot water that is below boiling, ideally around 175°F (80°C). Boiling water can damage the delicate bamboo prongs and may also scorch your matcha powder, resulting in a bitter taste.
