A NOTE FROM LISA
Family-built since 2023.
I started Strabella in 2023, in our kitchen in Newport Beach.
The first thing we made was the matcha bowl — heavy enough to hold heat through a full sit. Fourteen versions before we got it right.
Everything we sell now is a thing we kept on our counter for a month before shipping. The stone drying mat. The brush set. The cutting board that came out of the dishwasher unscarred.
Hand-packed in California, by people who actually use what they pack.

How to make matcha in 90 seconds
The four steps that actually matter — from a kitchen in Newport Beach.
Sift the matcha
About 1 gram, or half a teaspoon. Through a fine sieve into a wide bowl. Don't skip this — clumped matcha never fully whisks.
Pour 175°F water
Hot, but not boiling. Boiling water makes ceremonial matcha bitter. Start with one tablespoon — just enough to make a paste.
Whisk in a W motion
Not a circle. Two strokes per second, from the wrist. The chasen prongs are designed for back-and-forth. Stop at fine foam.
Drink within 2 minutes
The foam dissipates fast. So does the heat. The bowl was made heavier than usual to slow this down — but only by a minute.
