Matcha Bamboo Whisk (Chasen)
1. Before using your chasen for the first time, soak the whisk in hot water for 10-15 minutes to unfurl the tips.
2. Afterwards, before each use, soak the chasen in hot water for 1-2 minutes before whisking to soften the tines.
3. After making Matcha, rinse the chasen in clean water to remove excess matcha and dry it in a well-ventilated place.
4. Avoid use of detergents. NOT dishwasher-safe.
5. To keep your chasen in the best condition for as long as possible, use a kusenaoshi once dry to preserve the shape of the chasen tines.
Preparing the matcha tea is not difficult, time-consuming, nor does it require any special skills.
It is a fine powder that should be mixed with water. For this purpose, you can use both traditional bamboo whisk (chasen) or electric milk frother.
The traditional method of making the matcha tea comes from the Japanese tea ceremony (Chanoyu).
To prepare the drink, we need a bowl, a bamboo whisk and a bamboo spoon.
Put two bamboo scoops of matcha into a bowl, pour 100 ml of hot water (75-80 °C) and whisk vigorously with a whisk until a dense green foam is formed.
