Matcha whiskTraditional bamboo whisk or chasen is an essential part of the Japanese Tea Ceremony, used for preparing a smooth and frothy matcha. Before you use your whisk for the first time, clean the whisk by soaking it in a bowl of hot water for a couple of minutes. Once you are done whisking your matcha, soak the whisk in warm water and do not use soap or your dishwasher. Dry your whisk properly after use. This product is handmade of 100% bamboo.
