- Use scoop (chashaku茶杓) to transfer matcha powder into the bowl. Slowly pour in the hot water to brew.

After the ceremony…
Rinse the whisk and let it air dry by placing it onto the whisk holder. The holder also helps the bamboo bristles maintain normal shape to prevent premature damage.
Did you know…?
Japanese tea ceremony (aka. chadō 茶道, lit., "The Way of Tea") is a Japanese cultural ritual involving the preparation and presentation of matcha (抹茶), powdered green tea. Buddhism, particularly the Zen (Chan禅) Buddhist school has a strong influence in the development of the Japanese tea. Chadō is counted as one of the three classical Japanese arts of refinement, along with kōdō for incense appreciation, and kadō (ikebana) for flower arrangement.
