Matcha Whisk

Item Number: AP19

This bamboo matcha whisk (4 1/2" ht, 100 strips) is perfect for preparing matcha green tea by the ancient art of the Japanese tea ceremony. The Japanese tea ceremony is a ritual rooted in Zen Buddhism in which matcha is prepared and served to guests in a calm and tranquil environment. In Japan, the host performs the tea ceremony wearing a kimono on a tatami, or woven straw mat. A formal tea ceremony can take up to 5 hours may include serving sweets and other food in addition to matcha. The following are instructions on performing your own Japanese tea ceremony:

Step 1: Pour warm water into a matcha bowl.
Step 2: Empty the bowl of the warm water and add in 2 scoops of matcha powder.
Step 3: Add warm water into the matcha bowl.
Step 4: Using this matcha whisk, briskly whisk the matcha powder and the water together until the tea becomes lightly frothy.
Step 5: Remove the whisk and hold the matcha bowl with both hands. Turn the bowl counter-clock wise twice and serve to guest.

Worth it!

October 25, 2014

I was skeptical of the price. I'll admit it. I grumbled at myself thinking that it was too much for a small wooden whisk. It's worth every penny. I read reviews of matcha online and saw a huge concern for matcha in general was the notorious clumping issue. This whisk has thin, delicate bristles that gently break up clumps with no amount of force necessary. It's not some ornamental object for show and is definitely the way to go. I'm glad I got it.

If you drink matcha, you must have a matcha whisk

While I was waiting for my matcha whisk in the mail, I was whisking matcha with a regular whisk, which took my a couple o' minutes to get all of the clumps to disappear. With the matcha whisk it takes less than half a minute. Maybe less than ten seconds, depending on my zen. It's amazing, I love it. Definitely worth $17
