This chasen is smaller than the usual and therefore suitable for smaller portions as well as smaller bowls.
Traditional bamboo whisk or “chasen” is an indispensable tool of the Japanese matcha tea ceremony. The fine, handmade prongs are carved out in a single piece of bamboo by craftsmen whose skills are past on from generation to generation. When using a chasen to whisk matcha it is best to keep a loose and relaxed wrist and make rapid zigzag motions in the shape of letter “W” or “M” – this helps to give matcha the ideal frothy texture.
After use best to dry on dedicated Chasen Naoshi holder (sold seperately). Do not place a 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.
