Now, think about what you're missing for smooth spring mornings. That's your gap list. Don't buy upgrades for the sake of it. Ask yourself: do I actually need this?

A common gap is a fresh tin of ceremonial matcha to replace the one you retired. Another is a proper sifter—many people skip it, but it prevents clumps and makes whisking easier.

If you're happy with your bowl and whisk, don't replace them. Just restock the matcha.
