Chasen | Bamboo Whisk

For best results, whisk your matcha in an “M” or “W” motion for around 20 seconds, creating a vibrant layer of froth on top. Reduce the pressure and brush the top layer to smooth out any large bubbles to achieve a perfect micro-foam.

To maintain the longevity and performance of your Chasen, soak it in warm water before each use. This gentle care helps preserve the bamboo's flexibility and shape. For detailed care instructions, visit our blog here.

Measure about 3g with 40 mL of hot water (80º C). Whisk and enjoy hot or iced as a straight tea or as a latte with your milk. See more preparation tips here.

To prepare matcha, you'll need a few essential tools and ingredients. Here’s a basic guide to what you need and how to use them:

Essential Tools:

1. Matcha Powder: High-quality matcha powder is crucial for the best flavour and texture. Look for first harvest matcha for drinking and culinary-grade matcha for cooking and baking. All our matcha is first harvest and pesticide-free or certified organic.

2. Chawan (Matcha Bowl): A wide, shallow bowl that allows for whisking the matcha properly. We have partnered with Porch Ceramics to create a bespoke matcha bowl which you can purchase here.

3. Chasen (Bamboo Whisk): A bamboo whisk specifically designed to mix matcha and water, creating a frothy texture. This can be purchased here. We also worked with Porch Ceramics to create a unique whisk stand design to house your whisk. This allows appropriate drying of the whisk with slight separation of the bamboo prongs. This is also available here.

4. Chashaku (Bamboo Scoop): A bamboo scoop used to measure the right amount of matcha powder. Whilst this is traditional, we decided to create a stainless steel spoon for greater longevity and perfectly sized for the correct portion. This is available here.

5. Sifter: A small sifter or fine mesh strainer to remove clumps from the matcha powder. Our sieve is available here.

Once matcha has been opened, the oxidation process can occur, resulting in less freshness. Keep sealed in a cool, dry place. Refrigerate after opening to preserve freshness and vibrant colour. It is best consumed within 1-2 months from opening. An unopened tin of matcha will remain fresh for 6 months from harvest.
