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 powdered teas. With it, Matcha can be brewed as Usucha (thin tea, approx. 80ml water per 1g Matcha) as well as Koicha (strong, thick tea, approx. 10ml water per 1g matcha). It is suitable for beginners and professionals alike.  The chasen are handmade from a single piece of bamboo. An experienced person needs about two hours to make a single bamboo broom from the first to the last step. The piece of bamboo is split again and again with a sharp special knife. • Material: White bamboo •Total length: approx. 10.5cm •Diameter of handle: approx. 2.5cm •Broom head diameter: approx. 6 cm •Number of bristles: 100 Note on use and storage: The matcha whisk is delivered in plastic packaging. This packaging is for transport purposes only. It is not suitable for storage after use. Under no circumstances should the Chasen be stored in a damp condition 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 develop. It is a utility item that, if well cared for, will last a long time, but not forever. To keep the chasen in good condition, please note the following: A dry chasen tends to have its bristles break when beating the matcha. Therefore, the bristles should be softened by gently turning them in hot water before each use. After use, the chasen must dry. There is a special stand for this, called Kusenaoshi. The bamboo broom can dry quickly there. More importantly, it will always retain its shape on such a stand, but at the same time the inner ribs will be able to unfold properly.
