The bamboo 80-prong Matcha tea whisk is the essential accessory for preparing Matcha tea: for hundreds of years, it has been prepared with bamboo whisks (chasen), which give the tea its creamy and frothy consistency. The art of preparing the perfect Matcha Tea The bamboo whisk is an essential component in the Matcha tea ceremony. The chasen is handmade, and the prongs are painstakingly cut from a bamboo stem and then carved into shape. The art of making these whisks is exclusive to specially trained artisans. Their knowledge has been passed down through generations. It is not possible to produce matcha bamboo whisks with machines, and this is what makes each product unique. Chasen are made from sustainable raw materials and are designed to create perfectly frothy matcha. Our bamboo whisks also make the perfect gift as part of a set when combined with matcha tea.
