Details

Essential to the Japanese tea ceremony, this bamboo whisk is crafted according to Japanese traditions and artisanal expertise. Since matcha is a green tea powder that cannot be infused, it must be stirred. The traditional utensil, known as a "chasen," is specially designed for preparing matcha tea.

Use

Before first use, place the chasen in a bowl of hot water for 10 to 15 minutes to relax the stems.

Place the matcha powder in a bowl, then add a little hot water (maximum 75°C). Take your chasen whisk and whisk vigorously in a "W" motion.

After 20 seconds, you will see a beautiful creamy foam forming on the surface of your drink, and it's ready to enjoy!

Interview

Rinse this whisk with cold water without using any cleaning products. Let it dry upright, stems upwards, in the open air in a dry place. You can also place it on a stand provided for this purpose: the naoshi.

To prevent mold and preserve the taste of your matcha, do not put it back in its case.

The lifespan of a chasen is approximately 300 uses.

Bamboo matcha whisk, the essential accessory for perfect preparation

Preparing matcha tea is a ritual, a true moment of pleasure and relaxation. To achieve a fine, creamy froth, a matcha whisk (also called a chasen) is essential. Crafted from bamboo using Japanese craftsmanship, this accessory helps you achieve a perfect match every day.

Why use a bamboo matcha whisk?

The matcha whisk is designed to evenly mix matcha tea powder with hot water. Unlike a simple spoon or a traditional blender, the chasen prevents lumps and creates a light foam that enhances the aromas of the green tea. It's the ideal accessory for an authentic and successful preparation, as required by the Japanese ceremony.

A quality chasen for a unique experience

Our matcha whisk is crafted from natural bamboo, precisely carved into dozens of thin, flexible rods. This meticulous craftsmanship ensures excellent durability and ease of use. Each strand is designed to efficiently whisk matcha tea, promoting a beautiful froth and a perfectly emulsified infusion.

FAQ

Why use a chasen whisk to whisk matcha?

The chasen is specially designed to thoroughly mix matcha powder with hot water. Its fine bristles help dissolve the powder without leaving lumps and create a light foam that enhances the texture and flavor of the tea.

How to whisk matcha?

Pour hot water over the matcha powder in a bowl and use the chasen in quick "W" motions. This technique helps to emulsify the drink and create a perfect foam.

How to maintain your matcha whisk?

Rinse it with clean water after each use and let it air dry, stems upwards, or on a suitable rack. Avoid prolonged contact with water to preserve the quality of the bamboo.

What are the differences between a chasen and an electric whisk?

The bamboo chasen allows for a traditional and respectful preparation of matcha, preserving its aromas and creating a finer foam. An electric whisk, while convenient, can aerate the tea differently and alter some of the flavors. For an authentic experience, the chasen remains the best choice.
