Chasen bamboo whisk

The bamboo whisk is essential for making matcha tea. It is handmade from a single piece of bamboo. The purpose of the whisk is to whip the matcha tea into a uniform consistency. Matcha powder tends to stick together when it comes into contact with water, the whisk breaks the powder into a homogeneous structure without lumps. It does not impart any extraneous flavors or odors to the tea.
