Instructions
Preparation:
- Before each use, soak the whisk's tines in warm water for a few minutes. This helps to soften the bamboo, preventing breakage and making the whisk more flexible.
Whisking Matcha:
- Place 1-2 teaspoons of matcha powder into a matcha bowl (chawan).
- Add a small amount of hot water (about 70-80°C or 158-176°F) to the bowl, just enough to cover the powder.
- Hold the whisk with one hand and the bowl with the other.
- Use a gentle wrist motion to whisk the matcha in a "W" or "M" shape, back and forth, until the matcha is frothy and well-mixed.
- Add more hot water to your desired consistency and continue whisking until the matcha is smooth and frothy.
Maintenance
- After each use, rinse the whisk under warm running water to remove any matcha residue.
- Gently shake off excess water and carefully pat the whisk dry with a clean cloth.
- Avoid using soap or detergents, as they can damage the bamboo.
- Place the whisk on a whisk holder (chasen naoshi) to help maintain its shape and allow it to air dry naturally.
- Ensure the whisk is completely dry before storing it to prevent mold growth.
- Store the whisk in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity.
