Matcha whisk Chasen made of white bamboo with 100 bristles - handmade

The matcha whisk - Japanese Chasen - is indispensable for the traditional tea ceremony. This bamboo whisk with 100 bristles is probably the most commonly used matcha whisk. It is equally suitable for all Japanese powder teas. It can be used to whip Matcha as Usucha (thin tea, approx. 80ml water per 1g Matcha) and Koicha (strong, thick tea, approx. 10ml water per 1g Matcha). It is suitable for beginners and professionals alike. The chases are made by hand from a piece of bamboo. An experienced person needs about two hours from the first to the last step for the production of a single bamboo broom. The bamboo piece is split again and again with a sharp special knife. •Material: White Bamboo •Total length: approx. 10.5 cm • Diameter stem: approx. 2.5 cm •Broom head diameter: approx. 6 cm •Number of bristles: 100 Note on use and storage: The matcha whisk is delivered in a plastic packaging. This packaging is only for transport. It is not suitable for storage after use. Under no circumstances should the Chasen be kept wet in the closed container. The matcha whisk is an important utensil for preparing matcha, as it allows the green tea powder to be mixed with the water without lumps, which is the only way the full aroma of the tea can unfold. It is a commodity that will last a long time if cared for properly, but not forever. To keep the Chasen in good condition, please note the following: A dry chase tends to break the bristles when hitting the matcha. The bristles should therefore be softened before each use by carefully turning them in hot water. After use, the chasen needs to dry. There is a special stand for this, called Kusenaoshi. The bamboo broom can dry quickly there. More importantly, on such a stand it will always hold its shape while allowing its inner ribs to properly unfold. EAN: 4270003237888
