The tea ceremony is an ancient tradition in Japan and thanks to matcha tea's calming and relaxing effect on both body and soul, it is widely drunk by monks before meditation. And because you drink the whole finely divided matcha leaf or, like here, the mulberry leaf, not just the tea water, you get more than ten times as much nutrition and antioxidants as from regular green or black tea.
Why beat with bamboo and not metal?
Well, because hot water causes the catechins (antioxidants) in the matcha to bond with the metal from the whisk. And we want the antioxidants to bind free radicals, not metal - just like with a bamboo whisk!

Användning / Dosering
Dose the matcha powder with a matcha spoon and then whisk in hot water (70°) with a bamboo whisk as you pour in more and more water.
Always store the matcha powder in the accompanying designer tin can. It has an extra tight-fitting inner lid that protects the matcha powder from oxidizing. Pour the contents of the bag into the jar and close with the plastic lid.
