Product Description

Some things are better done the traditional way. I remember my first cup of matcha tea. The full-bodied taste that lingered long after that first warm sip – earthy, wholesome, and smooth, with subtle hints of sweetness. I was instantly hooked.

It wasn't long after that I purchased my first matcha powder and began to experiment, trying to recreate that delicious, electric green cup I so much enjoyed. It was then I realized just how much the flavor spectrum can vary from one grade of matcha to the next. But it's not just the grade of matcha that matters – it's how you prepare it.

The full-bodied green taste of matcha is caused by what are called "polyphenols" in the tea leaf. If you add too much matcha powder, these polyphenols become overpowering, and you create a bitter tea. If you add too little, your cup may taste empty, and each sip will leave you yearning for more flavor.

Creating the perfect cup starts with creating the perfect tools. The traditional bamboo tea whisk (chasen) and chashaku have been the tool of choice for creating the perfect frothy matcha for over 1,000 years – and I have found this truly is the best way to prepare a cup.

Our process is simple. To create the perfect whisk, you need to start with the best material. Our team hand inspects each bamboo rod for blemishes and integrity, and any piece that doesn't meet our standards is rejected. Only after selecting the best bamboo material does our team begin the production process by hollowing out the bamboo rods and cutting them down to the perfect length for the tea whisks.

The next step is the most important part of the process. Our specialists hand-curl each tine to create the perfect matcha brush. The soft brushing motion of the tines is what gives matcha the perfect consistency, and without this integral step in our process, the tea will not come out the same.

These whisk rests are the perfect blend of decorative and functional – a great addition to the kitchen of any tea lover. An elegant and simple design matches any kitchen decor. It's natural for tea whisks to uncurl and begin to lose their shape after many uses, but our matcha holder and whisk set is perfect for extending the life of your product. After using the tea whisk and gently washing and drying it, place it on the whisk holder to keep the whisk in good shape.

Our tea whisks are created with the right way – with traditional techniques used for thousands of years, providing you with the most authentic matcha tea experience.
