Inside the Crafting Process

Care Instructions

To use, first soften the tines in hot water. Add matcha to your tea bowl, pour in hot water, and whisk briskly in a straight vertical back-and-forth motion. About 40 strokes should produce sufficient froth. After use, rinse with clean water and dry upright. With proper care and storage, it maintains its optimal condition for an extended period.
