The essential handcrafted tea whisk is made for use when making matcha. Matcha whisks, known as chasen in Japanese, are handcrafted from a single piece of bamboo. Because of its association with the tea ceremony, there is an array of bamboo matcha whisks available, ranging in shape, price and value. However, the basic concept varies only subtly, and most are handcrafted from white bamboo, with 80, 100, or 120 prongs. At CIBI, we're attracted to creating something so elegant, flexible and functional from a single piece of material. We think this essential tool for making matcha works nearly as well as a delightful decorative piece.
