Do I need a bamboo whisk to prepare matcha?

A whisk is not necessary for preparing powdered sencha. A bamboo whisk is recommended for matcha preparation as the leaves are ground to a very fine powder that has the consistency of talc.

No other implement has the flexibility to whip the tea leaves to their desired consistency like a bamboo whisk.

For a bamboo whisk (or a Japanese matcha set- whisk, bowl, and tea) please go to our accessories catalogue
