This bamboo-handled sieve is used to sift matcha before whisking it: the green tea powder, which clumps easily, passes through the fine mesh and falls into the bowl without lumps. This preliminary gesture, often overlooked, determines the fineness of the foam and the evenness of the cup. The bamboo handle offers a pleasant, natural grip. A small utensil that makes a big difference, to be included in the ritual between the scoop and the whisk.
