Handmade Bamboo Matcha Whisk – Chasen

Why You Should be Whisking Matcha?

The main reason why you stir matcha is that matcha doesn’t dissolve well in hot water. When you pick up the matcha, it looks as if it’s dissolving, but if you look closely at the matcha liquid, you’ll see there are a lot of particles floating around, making the tea look like it’s dissolved. When you leave the tea for a few minutes, you’ll see that the particles eventually settle to the bottom. Stirring is also popular for another obvious reason: it tastes good.  The bubbles created by stirring make the tea taste milder.

How to Choose Your Whisk?

The traditional tea whisk is made from a young bamboo. It comes in various thicknesses and threads. The number of threads in a tea whisk ranges from 16 to 120. The more threads there are, the easier it is to whip the matcha into a traditional foam, giving the matcha a sweet texture and light quality. The fewer threads there are, the opposite is true. When choosing a tea whisk, the highest artisan quality is reflected in the choice of bamboo and the precise cutting and shaping of each thread (down to 0.1 mm).
