Prepare your perfect Matcha according to tradition.
If you love Matcha, you know that texture is everything. Unlike common electric whisks or spoons, the Chasen (tea whisk) has flexible and finely curved strands that cut through the water and tea powder with precision.
This movement not only completely dissolves the Matcha, avoiding annoying deposits at the bottom, but also oxygenates the drink, creating that dense and velvety foam (jade foam) essential to enhance its natural sweetness and mitigate the more bitter notes.
Craftsmanship and Sustainability
Each of our Chasen is a unique piece, handcrafted with artisanal precision. We use only selected bamboo, an eco-friendly material, durable and free from chemical treatments, to ensure you a pure and safe ritual for health.

How to Use and Store your Chasen (Practical Guide)
The Tea Sommelier's advice: Before the first use, and before each preparation, soak the tips of the Chasen in hot water for one minute. The strands will soften, becoming more elastic and reducing the risk of breakage.
- The "W" Movement: Pour hot water (about 80°C) over the Matcha. Hold the Chasen and move your wrist quickly drawing a "W" or an "M", without pressing the whisk against the bottom of the cup.
- Cleaning: Rinse the Chasen only with warm water immediately after use. Do not use soap or dishwasher.
- Drying: Let it air dry with the strands facing down, preferably on a specific support (Kusenaoshi or chasen holder) to maintain its original shape over time.
