How to choose a tea brush? Let's get it all straight in one go.
[吧唧R] The variety of tea whisk types is bewildering. As a newbie to matcha, how should I choose?
And what kind of tea whisk can be used to quickly create rich foam?

1️⃣ Commonly used tea whisk is divided into white bamboo and purple bamboo.
Difference 1: White bamboo is off-white, while purple bamboo is dark brown (personally, I prefer purple bamboo as it looks more luxurious, but the downside is that if it gets moldy, the mold is harder to spot because the color is darker).
Difference 2: Under the same conditions, the elasticity of purple bamboo is better than that of white bamboo.
Difference Three: Purple Bamboo is more resilient than White Bamboo, with a longer service life.

2️⃣ (Common in the market) According to the amount of silk from less to more, it can be divided into: wild points, common silk, several silk, 80 books, 100 books, 120 books. Theoretically, the more silk, the easier it is to produce foam, and the foam is also more delicate. (Actual measurement and tea discovery found that the amount of silk and theory are slightly inaccurate, and the most critical factor affecting the efficiency and actual effect of tea is the elasticity of silk, followed by the amount of silk. Therefore, it is very necessary to open the new tea brush, and soften the tea brush before each tea after.)

Size: including the overall diameter of the tea whisk, the length of the handle, and the diameter of the handle. This article will mainly discuss the diameter of the handle. Among the eight models selected this time, the diameter of the handle of the white bamboo Changhui and the purple bamboo Zhen is smaller, respectively 2.1cm and 2.4cm, and the widest diameter of the white bamboo Bai Ershibenli is 3.2cm. The remaining handle diameters are between 2.5cm and 2.8cm (the bamboo is not a perfect circle, and there may be some errors). Small diameter handles feel light and suitable for small-handed and less powerful women, but the handle of the small handle tea whisk is thinner and softer, and beginners need to pay attention to the control of force. The medium-sized handle is average, and the large handle is used by those who are strong [laughing R], I don't know if it is wasted [observing R]".

[Thumbs Up] Here are eight domestic tea whiskers purchased, through the handle diameter, tassel quantity, tassel width, hardness, elasticity, and the time required to create a certain thickness of foam, analyzing the characteristics of different tea whiskers, providing some reference for purchase.
