THE WHISKING ART
Four Steps to Clarity
Ensure 2g of powder is sifted into your chawan to eliminate clumps.
Add 70ml of water at exactly 80°C to preserve the delicate amino acids.
Use a bamboo whisk in a vigorous 'W' motion until a micro-foam forms.
Hold the bowl with both hands and inhale the aroma before the first sip.
