Dear Skeptic: trust in Japan's tea masters and centuries of wisdom—bamboo was born for this. Our bamboo whisk declumps and froths matcha powder better than metal or plastic, and doesn’t impart off flavors. You also look legit while using it, we will admit.

Tip: 20-30 seconds of whisking powder in near-boiling water will achieve a gorgeous pour of tea. It's all in the wrist.
