If your matcha is clumpy or flat, the fix is usually a proper chasen. A 100-prong bamboo whisk whips air into the tea and breaks up powder far better than a spoon or fork, producing the fine, stable microfoam good matcha is known for. It’s cheap and consumable — rinse it, air-dry it on a holder, and replace it when the prongs splay.
