Prepare Smoother, Lump-Free Matcha
Even high-quality matcha powder can develop small clumps when exposed to humidity or changes in temperature. These clumps can make matcha more difficult to whisk and may leave an uneven or grainy texture in the finished drink.
The Matcha & CO Stainless Steel Matcha Strainer allows you to quickly sift your matcha powder before adding water. Its fine mesh separates compacted particles and aerates the powder, helping you prepare matcha with a finer, smoother and more consistent texture.
Whether you enjoy traditional matcha tea, creamy matcha lattes or iced matcha drinks, this practical strainer can noticeably improve the preparation process.
Why Sift Matcha Powder?
Sifting is a simple but important step in traditional matcha preparation. Because matcha is ground into an extremely fine powder, it can naturally form small clumps during storage.
Passing the matcha through a fine-mesh strainer helps to:
- Break apart compacted matcha powder
- Remove small lumps before whisking
- Aerate the powder
- Help the matcha mix more evenly with water
- Create a smoother mouthfeel
- Make whisking easier
- Improve the appearance of the finished drink
Sifting is particularly helpful when preparing matcha with a traditional bamboo whisk, as smoother powder is easier to whisk into a light and even foam.
Fine-Mesh Stainless Steel Construction
The strainer is made from durable 18/10 stainless steel, a high-quality material commonly used for kitchen and tea accessories.
The fine mesh is designed specifically for finely ground powders such as matcha. It allows the matcha to pass through while breaking apart compacted particles.
Its approximately 8 cm diameter makes it suitable for positioning over many standard matcha bowls, tea bowls and cups.
How to Use the Matcha Strainer
- Position the strainer over your matcha bowl or cup.
- Add approximately one gram or your preferred serving of matcha powder.
- Use a matcha measuring spoon or teaspoon to gently move the powder across the mesh.
- Continue until all the matcha has passed through the strainer.
- Add warm water and whisk using a bamboo matcha whisk or electric frother.
For the best results, sift the matcha immediately before preparing your drink.
Suitable for Different Matcha Drinks
This matcha strainer can be used when preparing:

Easy to Clean
After use, rinse the strainer under warm water to remove any remaining matcha powder.
The strainer is suitable for hand washing and is also listed as dishwasher safe. Dry it thoroughly before storing to help keep the fine mesh clean and ready for your next matcha preparation.
