In Japan, the bamboo whisk is the most indispensable tool when it comes to making the best tasting matcha green tea.
There are different whisk types depending on the number of their tines.?The more tines a bamboo whisk has, the easier it will be to create a creamy and frothy texture.
Since, a tea whisk with fewer tines requires a proper whisking technique, a tea whisk with at least 80 or 100 tines is usually recommended for beginners.
Before use, soak the whisk in warm water to soften the bamboo tines. It will help you achieve the perfect creamy and frothy texture of matcha.
It is a long and thin type of chasen that can be used for whisking matcha green tea powder in a tea bowl or in a tea cup.
A whisk with 70 tines.
A whisk with 80 tines.
A whisk with 100 tines.
Because bamboo is a natural material and retains moisture, the chasen can grow mold and break. We strongly recommend that you get a bamboo whish holder to air dry nicely the chasen after use and to store it in a cool, dry place.
