Mr.MATCHA - Matcha beater - bamboo - Handmade

For a traditional cup of matcha you need a matcha beater. This original handmade matcha beater or Chasen is made of bamboo. It is specially used for making matcha tea. With the whisk you can whip the Japanese powder tea lightly and you get a somewhat creamy and frothy, delicious-tasting tea. How to take care of your matcha beater The Japanese matcha beater or Chasen whisk is made of natural bamboo wood and is subject to natural wear and decay. However, if you take good care of your Chasen, it will last longer than the mass produced Chasens on the market. A healthy Chasen ensures that the natural infusions and essence of your high-quality Japanese matcha are optimized with every bowl. Clean your matcha beater before and after every use Clean your chasen before first use. This simply removes any impurities created during packaging and transportation and loosens the core. Use one of the following options to clean the chasen: Fill a bowl with hot or boiled water and submerge the matcha chasen teeth for about 30 seconds. Hold the Chasen strings under gently running hot or boiled water for a few seconds to remove any residue. Clean the chasen in the same way after each use. Nb. Never soak the Chasen handle in water as it may crack or fray. Let your matcha beater dry After you have made your matcha and washed the Chasen, it is imperative that you let it dry thoroughly. The best way to dry your Chasen is to rest it on a Chasen holder. The best quality Chasens comes with a holder for drying and storage. If you don't have a Chasen holder, dry the Chasen by placing it on the handle, never by the strings. Please note: If your bamboo Chasen is not properly dried, damp teeth can mold or splinter due to the natural wood product it is made from. In addition, the fragile Chasen strings can become loose or fail completely, minimizing the effectiveness of the whisk. How do you keep your chasen Proper storage of your Chasen is probably the most important way to achieve an optimal life. It is best to store your Chasen in the same way you dried it, preferably on a whisk holder. By storing the Chasen on a holder, you maintain the shape of the bamboo strings and prevent premature damage.
