Ceremonial Matcha
THE GOOD BOWL, TODAY
The whisk has been waiting for an ordinary Tuesday.
Finely stone-ground matcha for a vivid green bowl, made by whoever owns the kitchen.
The story
There is a particular cupboard containing a bamboo whisk, a small bowl and the suspicion that one ought to become better at matcha before making any. This is how objects become décor. The first bowl is allowed to look like a first bowl.

The sensible bit
Matcha naturally contains caffeine. Check the complete ingredient and allergen declaration on the tin before use. Hot water can scald. Keep the tin tightly closed and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, moisture and strong odours. Use by the best-before date shown on the pack.
Gift tag
For: The person who owns the tools and needs permission to use them imperfectly.
Do not give to: The froth inspector. Breakfast has suffered enough administration.
