Chasen — Bamboo Matcha Whisk
Overview
A chasen (tea whisk) is the traditional tool for preparing matcha. Its fine bamboo tines dissolve the powder and whisk air into the tea, creating the smooth, frothy surface that defines a well-made bowl of matcha.
This whisk is used the same way in the tea ceremony and in everyday matcha-making at home. Please note the design may differ slightly from the photo.
