Stainless Steel Matcha Strainer

Sifting matcha through a strainer is a key step for improving the quality of your drink in order to fully enjoy it. Simply whisking the powder in water might sometimes leave some lumps in your matcha. This is the result of static electricity keeping tea powder particles together making them difficult to separate and often leaving them floating on the top of your drink or sticking to the side of your tea bowl. In order to prepare authentic matcha with a smooth texture, and a properly aerated, frothy surface, it is important to sift the powder through a strainer first to separate any lumps, allowing you to properly mix your drink during whisking. This stainless steel tea strainer is ideal in both size and quality and will be the only strainer you will ever need to prepare delicious matcha.

Dishwasher safe.

Tōhoku

Tōhoku consists of six prefectures located in the north-east of Honshu island. This region is known for its hot spring (onsen) resorts, colourful festivals, remote sacred mountains and harsh winters. In 2011, the devastating earthquake and tsunami hit the region hard; however, the massive efforts in reconstruction are proof of the people’s resilience. Urushi (lacquer) ware, ironware and the crafting of kokeshi dolls make up but a few of the local industries in this lesser-visited region of Japan.
