Description
This handmade matcha whisk set gathers the three tools you need to make matcha at home: a bamboo whisk, a ceramic stand to rest it on and a bamboo scoop. The whisk is made of bamboo, opening into a fan of fine, curling tines bound at the base with dark cotton thread. These tines whip powdered tea and hot water into a smooth, frothy cup. The stand is ceramic in a soft pale blue-green glaze, shaped like a little rounded vase on a foot. The scoop is a slim bamboo stick with a gently curved tip for lifting powder from your tin. The set is listed at 11.2cm high and 6.1cm across and weighs just 167g, so it sits neatly on a worktop or tray.
We think it belongs wherever you make your tea: on the kitchen worktop beside the kettle, on a tea tray or on an open shelf with your bowls and cups. If you have been meaning to make matcha properly rather than stirring it with a spoon, it gives you the right tools in one go. If you already drink it, the stand gives your whisk a tidy home between cups. The pale glaze sits happily beside natural wood, stoneware and linen, and the warm honey tone of the bamboo looks lovely left out on show.
The whisk and scoop are bamboo, the whisk's tines tied with cotton thread, and the stand is ceramic. A storage container for the whisk, in plastic and card, comes with them. As good practice for bamboo, rinse the whisk in warm water after use, shake it gently and leave it upright on its stand to air dry. Wipe the stand and scoop with a damp cloth. Set in its card box, it is ready to give as it is, perhaps with a tin of matcha tucked alongside.
