SET CONTENT 1- Handmade Bamboo Whisk (Chasen) 2- Handmade Matcha Scoop (Chashaku) Features of the Products in the Set Bamboo Whisk Bamboo Whisk is used to well mix green Matcha tea, which has a very special place in Japanese tea ceremonies. Bamboo Whisk is known as Chasen in Japanese. Bamboo Whisk, one of the essential parts of Matcha Tea ceremonies, is the mixer used to ensure that Matcha tea, consisting of very fine powder particles, mixes well in water. Made from a single piece of bamboo, bamboo whisk is a fine handcrafted product made using traditional methods. Each end on bamboo whisks is called a "prong" and the more "prongs" there are, the better the whisk performs the mixing process. Bamboo Whisks have a high prong count and have 100 prongs (bristles). There are a few points you should pay attention to in order to use the bamboo whisk you use when preparing matcha tea correctly and to ensure its longevity.
Before mixing the matcha, put some warm water in the bowl where you will prepare the tea and leave the bamboo whisk in this water for five to ten seconds. When you do this before the first use, the twisted area in the middle of the bamboo whisk will loosen a little and the curled ends on the outside will straighten out. While whisking the matcha, it is enough to touch the bamboo whisk just enough to rub it on the bottom of the bowl, without pressing too much. In this way, the ends of the bamboo stirrer will not be damaged. Slamming the Whisk against the bottom of the Matcha bowl too quickly will damage the tips. After the matcha is whisked, it is passed through warm water without allowing the tea on it to dry, and it is gently shaken to remove excess water residues. If you are storing the bamboo whisk in its original box or any other box, do not put it in this box until it is completely dry. Bamboo Scoop Matcha spoons (matcha scoops) are handmade from bamboo wood. To serve matcha for 1 person, 1 full bamboo spoon of matcha is used, which corresponds to approximately half a teaspoon. Cleaning your spoon with a soft tissue or napkin after use will make it last longer. The length of the Matcha Spoon is 18 cm.
