ABOUT BAMBOO MATCHA WHISK (CHASEN)

The Chasen (or bamboo matcha whisk) is an integral part of Chanoyu, the Japanese tea ceremony. It is used to make the powdered green tea called Matcha in a bowl. This tool has been used for centuries in tea ceremony. The whisks are made by hand, including the detailed work of curling the thin strands of bamboo.

The whisk is the single most important thing after the matcha itself when it comes to preparing a good beverage. It is called “chasen” (茶筅) in Japanese, it is made of bamboo and designed especially to prepare matcha.

The whisk allows to mix matcha powder, water, and air into a nice frothy beverage, releasing aromas and essences in the foam on the surface. It is not only about dissolving the powder in water! Oxygenation is key.

For coffee drinkers: think of this effect as the froth on your espresso or cappuccino.

For wine drinkers: think of it as aeration – wine needs to “breathe” to reveal its full potential.

How to Make Matcha Green Tea

sift matcha powder into a matcha bowl

First, sift matcha powder into a matcha bowl . Matcha clumps very easily, so I always recommend sifting it before you add any water. Otherwise, it will be difficult to get the tea to disperse evenly in the liquid, and your drink will be lumpy.

How to whisk matcha

Whisking is the key part of making a good and foamy matcha!

The whisk allows to mix matcha powder, water, and air into a nice frothy beverage, releasing aromas and essences in the foam on the surface. It is not only about dissolving the powder in water! Oxygenation is key.

This simple and modest tool is very important for several reasons.

You must simply whisk the matcha back and forth, NOT in a circular motion but in a W or zigzag pattern. Or just back and forth. You need to shock the material as you incorporate air to the water and tea, otherwise it will not be foamy.(Whisking in circles is too smooth and you will not be able to oxygenate your tea = no bubbles)

Keep whisking for at least 20 seconds. Your hand will feel tired and sore but DO NOT STOP.

How do you make matcha more tasty?

Finally, top it off with more hot water or steamed milk. Traditional matcha green tea is made with just green tea powder and water, but you can also easily make a latte by finishing your drink with steamed milk.

Although correctly prepared matcha is not bitter, it can take some getting used to. Sweetening matcha is another easy way to help make it more palatable. Non-flavored sweeteners like sugar and agave syrup will preserve matcha’s natural flavor while sweeteners like honey and chocolate will mask it well.

How to take care of your bamboo matcha whisk (5 simples steps)

How to take care of your bamboo matcha whisk (5 simples steps)

Tip 1 – Soak the Matcha whisk in hot water before putting it to work.

The tines of a bamboo matcha whisk a very brittle and susceptible to breaking off. This can happen prematurely if you don’t season the whisk before use. Placing the whisk in a bowl of hot water for at least 30 seconds before each use will allow the tines to absorb the water which will in turn soften the tines and prevent breakage. Your Whisk is now seasoned and ready to dance the Zig Zag. Special mention: If your whisk is brand new, the tines will be very stiff at first. It will take at least 3-5 brews before the whisk starts to bloom and the tips to soften up. Once the whisk has softened up, making the Matcha froth will be much easier.

Tip 2 – Work on your whisking technique

The easiest way to ruin your precious whisk is improper use.

The number 1 rule is to try not let the tines of the whisk scrub against the bottom of the bowl.This might be difficult to prevent if you are whisking matcha in a coffee mug. An original chawan matcha bowl is designed with practicality in mind, which is why they feature a wide open mouth and good size bowl base.A matcha bowl is far more shallow than a mug and will give you the space you need to perfect the whisking technique.

Tip 3 – Rinse the whisk with water immediately after use

Your bamboo Matcha whisk can easily attract decay if not cleaned and dried after each use. Don’t wait to wash. Wash immediately after use. Don’t put your whisk in the dishwasher for cleaning.Don’t use detergent to clean your whisk either. Instead, simply run warm water over the whisk with the tines facing down.

Decay is a whisks worst enemy!Bamboo is porous so if your matcha whisk is stored away before it has completely dried then I’m afraid your whisk will start to turn a bit smelly.

When is it time to get a new whisk?After the very first use, the shape of the matcha whisk will change.The whisk will start to bloom and the tines in the centre will generally loosen and open up.
