Chasen Japanese Bamboo whisk

Imported from Japan

Our chasen is hand made by Artisan and the bamboo has been cut and seasoned for 2 years before the actual

sectioned, peeled and split and split again into the numbers of strings count.

Finally, it is bound with threads.

The more the strokes, the easier it is to whip up the matcha that gives its sweet fragrant texture.

It enhances the taste of the tea and is a perfect tool for making a good cup of matcha.

The air bubbles created by the whisking makes the tea taste milder.
