The Chasen de Bambou pour Matcha is the whisk that gives matcha its texture. It is shaped from a bamboo stem, split into fine tines. These supple prongs blend the green tea powder with hot water and raise an airy foam on the surface of the bowl.

For which teas?

The chasen is used to whisk matcha, the powdered green tea that is whisked with hot water. It is used, for example, with Matcha Midori and our entire matcha range.

How do you use it?

Once the powder and hot water are poured into the bowl, whisk briskly with a wrist movement, in an M or a W shape. Keep the tines above the base of the bowl, without scraping it, until foam forms on the surface.

It forms a trio with the bowl and spoon: the Bol ‘Shizuka’, 300 ml and the Cuillère en Bamboo Chasaku complete the preparation. Our matcha guide details each step.

How do you look after it?

After each use, rinse the chasen under clear water, then leave it to dry in the open air on a whisk holder, such as the Matcha Porte-Balai en Bambou, to preserve the shape of its tines.
