The name "Fifty Bells" is a reference to the Isuzu river that flows through the Ise Grand Shrine in Mie Prefecture, Japan. While suitable for use in tea ceremony, Isuzu is excellent for everyday matcha drinking and for cooking. Store in refrigerator or freezer to maintain freshness! This is a 40g can of matcha.

Traditional matcha is prepared with a bamboo whisk, called a chasen. This whisk is carved from one piece of bamboo and is uniquely designed to aggravate the finely ground tea leaves until they are fully suspended. Using a brisk “W” or “M” motion, you simply mix your matcha and water in your bowl (called a chawan) until the matcha is frothy and thus suspended. Ideally, you should purchase a tea whisk stand to ensure it keeps it shape after use and cleaning. Wash the tines with cold water only and pat dry afterward to prevent mildew.
