Dark bamboo matcha whisk chasen

A traditional whisk used in the Japanese tea ceremony to froth matcha. Handcrafted from a single piece of dark bamboo, this whisk, also referred to as a broom or a brush, features precise incisions which form flexible prongs. These prongs are gently curved at the bottom, gathered at the top, and finished with a wooden handle. The chasen works best with a traditional matcha bowl, whose vertical walls and wide bottom make it easy to blend matcha with water and quickly create a thin layer of foam on the surface. Note that the water temperature should not exceed 80°C.

To extend its lifespan and maintain its shape, store the chasen on a dedicated stand. Avoid storing it in plastic packaging or airtight containers, as this can cause mold to form on the bamboo handle.

Not dishwasher safe

Directions for matcha preparation:

Begin by slowly whisking the matcha, gently moving the chasen’s prongs along the bottom of the bowl to thoroughly mix the matcha with water. Then, lift the chasen closer to the surface and make vigorous movements in a W or M shape for about 10-20 seconds. Remember to use only your wrist to avoid fatigue. A thin layer of foam should quickly appear on the surface. The perfect froth, known as “jasper mousse,” is achieved thanks to the many flexible bamboo prongs of the chasen. The more prongs, the easier it is to create a smooth, even foam layer. For best results, wet the broom in hot water before use and rinse after. As chasen naturally shrinks when drying, it becomes brittle and prone to damage. To prolong its life and maintain shape, store it on a special naoshi stand.

  • Our brand

    Moya is a top quality Japanese tea brand . You can buy our matcha tea and other green teas in our affiliated shops all over Europe, in our online green tea shop, and in our showroom in Warsaw. We are proud of the quality of our green tea and we consider ourselves experts in the field. Quality, colour, taste and price of matcha tea depends on many factors, such as region, rainfall and –primarily – the harvest from which the tea comes from. Matcha from the first harvest is the most delicate one because it is produced from the finest leaves that were exposed to direct sunlight only for a short period of time. Japan puts severe quality norms and the harvest volume is thus limited.
