Sauna Whisk — Oak

For those who like their sauna traditions a bit more robust. Oak vihtas are firmer and longer-lasting than birch, and give a deeper, tannin-rich woody aroma when heated. Popular in the Baltic and Eastern European sauna traditions, oak leaves also hold up beautifully to repeated use — you'll comfortably get two or three sessions from a single whisk before the leaves start to shed.
