Whisk Holder (Naoshi)
A naoshi whisk holder is a small, cylindrical vessel used to store and protect a chasen, or Japanese tea whisk, when not in use. Naoshi whisk holders are designed to hold the delicate bamboo tines of the chasen in place, preventing them from becoming misshapen or damaged, an essential accesory for maintaining the longevity of the chasen.

an early morning to look forward to
It doesn’t need to be a weekend to have a slow awakening. When we create a morning practice that centers us for the day ahead, it becomes a sacred time not worth sleeping in to miss.
Every morning, as my consciousness gently comes into the room, I start to imagine the steps of making matcha. Carefully measuring with a bamboo spoon as the aroma of sweet grass hits my nose. Whisking the bright powder into a creamy froth, and intentionally sipping while the sun wakes with me.
We don't hate coffee (all the time)
Coffee is the number one beverage after water in America. Coffee is delicious, and the habit of making it may be keeping you more attached than how it makes you feel. Challenge yourself to start slowly cutting back, or replacing one cup with matcha and you may notice:
No jitters or crashes, just a smooth energy boost.
Less acidity than coffee, making it easier on the stomach
Less dehydrating than coffee, keeping you feeling fresh
FAQ
when will I get my order?
Orders are fulfilled in 1-3 business days. Depending on your location, shipping times vary, but orders should arrive within 5 business days after shipment.
how should I store my matcha
We recommend storing opened matcha in a cool dark place (like a pantry) away from heat, light, and humidity.
The next best storage option would be in the fridge, but with caution.
Here’s what to keep in mind:
- Matcha absorbs moisture and odors easily, so keep it sealed.
- Let it reach room temperature before opening – Condensation can form inside the container if cold matcha is exposed to warm air, affecting quality.
Avoid the Fridge
If frequently used – Taking it in and out can cause condensation and degrade the matcha faster.
f not properly sealed – It can absorb fridge odors, affecting flavor.
