The matcha whisk, called a chasen in Japanese, cut from a piece of bamboo, is, along with the matcha bowl, the only essential accessory for preparing beaten tea. It mixes the tea powder evenly with the water. This bamboo chasen has a diameter of 3 cm, is 15 cm long, and is sold with its stand.
Two types of matcha infusion can be distinguished: the usual infusion (usucha), light, airy and frothy (or smoother, depending on taste) produced with a brisk flick of the wrist, and the concentrated, creamy infusion, produced with a larger quantity of tea and a slower flick of the wrist (koicha). The latter, generally used during the tea ceremony, is reserved for high-quality matcha, as it accentuates the flavours (and can be too bitter with entry-level powder).
Please note that this whisk is not suitable for the matcha whisk rest sold on our site.
Product use:
Before use, moisten the whisk in the matcha bowl filled with hot water to soften it.
Also check that the pistils are intact to avoid breakage during infusion.
Care instructions :
Rinse in cold water after use, but always with the pistils facing downwards to prevent moisture from stagnating in the heart of the whisk.
