The traditional bamboo whisk or chasen is an indispensable tool in the Japanese matcha tea ceremony. The fine, handmade tines are carved out of a single piece of bamboo by craftsmen whose skills are passed down from generation to generation. When using a chasen to whisk matcha, it is best to hold your hand loosely and relaxed and make quick zigzag movements in the shape of the letter W or M. This helps to give the matcha the ideal frothy texture.
After use, it is best to dry on the Chasen Naoshi holder provided (sold separately). Never put your wet Chasen in the plastic container or any other closed container.
DID YOU KNOW? ... Matcha ( 抹茶) is the name given to Japanese green teas whose tea leaves are ground into a fine powder. The tea bushes are grown in the shade to protect them from too much sunlight. This method of cultivation results in a lush green colour and a higher amino acid and chlorophyll content in the plants. The first, freshest leaves are picked by hand and quickly steamed to stop fermentation. They are then dried and ground very finely.
