Alas, you do need [good tools](https://breakawaymatcha.com/collections/matcha-teaware/products/matcha-tea-tool-kit?ref=explore.breakawaymatcha.com) to make good hot matcha.

A [sieve](https://breakawaymatcha.com/collections/matcha-teaware/products/matcha-sieve?ref=explore.breakawaymatcha.com) is key; our matcha is so finely ground (5 microns) that static electricity makes it clump together. Pushing it through a sieve dispels that electricity and creates a super creamy brew with no clumping.

A [bamboo scoop](https://breakawaymatcha.com/collections/matcha-teaware/products/matcha-scoop?ref=explore.breakawaymatcha.com) isn’t totally necessary, but it is ideally shaped to both grab a serving of matcha from the jar, and for pushing the matcha through the sieve.

We prefer the [electric frother](https://breakawaymatcha.com/collections/matcha-teaware/products/matcha-frother?ref=explore.breakawaymatcha.com) to the traditional whisk (it really does create better crema when used properly) as well. It’s pretty much impossible to make great matcha without these tools.
