*Note: For articles with a label, there is a sticker on the bottom with the EAN code and our company data* The matcha whisk - Japanese Chasen - is indispensable for the traditional tea ceremony. This bamboo whisk with 100 bristles is probably the most commonly used matcha whisk. It is suitable for all Japanese powdered teas alike. With it, matcha can be whisked both as Usucha (thin tea, about 80ml water per 1g matcha) and Koicha (strong, thick tea, about 10ml water per 1g matcha). It is suitable for both beginners and professionals alike. The Chasen are handcrafted from a single piece of bamboo. An experienced person needs about two hours to make a single bamboo whisk from the first to the last step. The bamboo piece is repeatedly split with a sharp special knife. •Material: White bamboo •Total length: approx. 10.5 cm •Handle diameter: approx. 2.5 cm •Whisk head diameter: approx. 6 cm •Number of bristles: 100 Note on use and storage: The matcha whisk is delivered in a plastic or paper packaging. This packaging is only for transport. It is not suitable for storage after use. Under no circumstances should the Chasen be stored in the closed container while wet. The matcha whisk is an important utensil for matcha preparation, as it allows the green tea powder to mix with the water without clumping, thus allowing the full aroma of the tea to unfold. It is a utility item that, with good care, lasts a long time but not forever. To keep the Chasen in good condition, please note the following: A dry Chasen tends to break the bristles when whisking matcha. Therefore, the bristles should be made supple by gently rotating them in hot water before each use. After use, the Chasen must dry. For this, there is a special stand called Kusenaoshi. The bamboo whisk can dry quickly there. More importantly, it always retains its shape on such a stand, while the inner ribs can properly unfold.
