Heatwaves, just love that avatarheatwaves wrote:I'm asking for a matcha starter set this christmas and I'd like to be able to point my wife in the right direction. I looked at O-Cha and their sets are all on the pricey side ($150). Any ideas? I'm hoping to find a capable set around $40-50.Many thanks, teaheads!
Did you get one for Christmas??? I did and it is from O-Cha and I love it. Let us know what you decided.
