Disclaimer

It is important to understand that we can not and will not teach you how to whisk during this webinar. Nor it will qualify you as whisking practitioner. Whisking is thorougfully practical skill. Moreover - it is a skill of real time and needs to be shown, experienced and trained by qualified master live. Yet we strongly believe that knowing whisking theory makes any practitioner of whisking more conscious, therefore more professional. It is also very good that people who are going to receive and enjoy traditional leaf whisking in sauna will know basic do`s and dont`s of whisking - it will make their bathing safer in the end.
