This 100 tine whisk is great for using to make a smoother Usucha (thin tea)

Made from a single piece of bamboo, split with approximately 100 tines. Designed as such to efficiently create a fine, smooth and velvety froth, from whisking steadily with the wrist and feathering the tea in a 'w' motion, bringing the whisk up to peak the froth. The whisk is great for using to make Usucha (thin tea)

For Usucha (thin tea)
Tea - 2 Chashaku scoops
Water/Temp 50ml / 75*c
Whisk slowly until smooth in a 'w' motion
Add more water to taste.

Whisk Care:
Hand wash before first use in hot water, hand washing then after each use of the whisk, allowing to air dry fully to avoid moisture build up. Using the whisk carefully and centrally within the Chawan (Matcha Bowl).

Each unique, therefore slight variations in shape, size will occur.
