Black Ceramic Whisk Stand
The Black Ceramic Whisk Stand is a vital component of your matcha ritual. It will prolong the lifespan of your bamboo whisk. We recommend that you store your bamboo whisk on the whisk holder directly after using and cleaning.
The bamboo prongs of the matcha whisk are delicate and, after repeated use, they can begin to lose shape. While the exact, original shape of the whisk is not meant to hold after use (the curve naturally adjusts and the curl at the ends releases), the whisk stand supports the structure and maintains the shape of the whisk strands.

MATCHA CONTAINS
POWERFUL ANTIOXIDANTS
Matcha is an antioxidant powerhouse. On the ORAC scale (oxygen radical absorbance capacity – a measure of the antioxidant capacity of food), it surpasses all other antioxidant-rich foods including blueberries, pomegranates, and dark chocolate.
The antioxidants in matcha are made up of 60% catechin polyphenols – the most potent antioxidant. Catechins offer protection against many kinds of cancer, helping to prevent heart disease, reduce cholesterol, and slow the process of aging. The most important and abundant polyphenol in matcha is EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) – the same polyphenol found in all green teas.
MATCHA PROVIDES
SUSTAINED ENERGY & FOCUS
L-Theanine, an amino acid found in matcha, combines with caffeine to create increased focused and sustained energy throughout the day. L-Theanine has been hailed for relaxing the brain, muscles, and blood vessels. It can help lower blood pressure, enhance mood and promotes a sense of calmness by relaxing alpha waves in the brain (associated with a feeling of happiness and alertness) and increasing dopamine production – two of the brain’s ‘feel good’ chemicals. This amino acid is the secret ingredient that leaves you feeling energetic and focused yet calm all day long.
MATCHA IS
CLEANSING & DETOXIFYING
Matcha is five times higher in chlorophyll than regular green tea. The primary reason chlorophyll is considered a superfood is because of its strong antioxidant and anticancer effects. Chlorophyll benefits the immune system because it’s able to form tight molecular bonds with certain chemicals that contribute to oxidative damage and diseases like cancer or liver disease. Chlorophyll can help give you clear skin, protect your blood and heart, and also help prevent joint inflammation.
