Frequently Asked Questions From Customer:
How do I prepare matcha with whisk?
- Add 2 scoop of matcha into matcha bowl, then add 80ml hot water (not boiling) into the matcha bowl.
- Whisk in a "M" or "W" motion until well-frothed (light foam covers the top).
Do I really need a whisk?
- Whisk is useful for incorporating water and air evenly in matcha tea. But even without a whisk, one still can prepare matcha. But there will be lumps in your matcha tea. Bamboo whisk can help break the lumps when you whisk matcha.
