Everything you need to start whisking matcha the traditional way, in one box. A hand-cut bamboo whisk, a hand-pinched stoneware bowl and the small tools that make the first cup go right.
What is in the box
- Bamboo whisk (chasen), Madake bamboo, about 100 prongs, about 10.5 cm tall
- Ceramic bowl (chawan), hand-pinched stoneware, about 12 cm across, holds about 350 ml
- Whisk holder (chasen-naoshi)
- Bamboo scoop (chashaku)
- Stainless sifter
- Tea mat
- How-to guide
How to use it
- Soak the whisk in warm water for 5 minutes before first use to gently spread the prongs.
- Sift 1.5 g (about ½ teaspoon) of matcha into the bowl to remove clumps.
- Pour 80 ml of 175°F / 80°C water. Not boiling: boiling water makes matcha bitter.
- Whisk in an M or W motion for 15–20 seconds until a fine foam forms.
Caring for the whisk
Rinse with warm water only after each use, never soap or the dishwasher, and air-dry it on the holder to keep its shape. A bamboo whisk is a wear item: expect 8–12 months of daily use, or 18–24 months of weekly use.
Bamboo from Japan; ceramic bowl handcrafted. Matcha powder is not included.
