MATCHA WHISK

DESCRIPTION

• A handmade bamboo whisk, also known as a chasen, is an essential tool for preparing traditional Japanese matcha tea. The whisk is used to mix the matcha powder with hot water and create a frothy, creamy texture.

• The bamboo whisk is typically made from a single piece of bamboo that has been split into thin tines or prongs. The number of prongs is 80-100 prong which is a common size that is ideal for creating a smooth and creamy matcha.

HOW TO USE

• To use the whisk, first, sift the matcha powder into a bowl to remove any clumps. Then, add hot water and use the whisk to mix the powder and water together in a rapid, back-and-forth motion. The goal is to create a frothy texture with small bubbles on the surface of the tea.

• Using a bamboo whisk can take some practice, but it is an important part of the traditional matcha tea-making process. With a little patience and persistence, anyone can learn to use a bamboo whisk to create a delicious and frothy cup of matcha tea.
