standard chasen

This is our basic chasen, perfect for whisking your daily bowl of usucha. The tines of this chasen are straight & curl over into a loop at the end. 
 
It is hand crafted in a production studio, which means that each artisan completes one specific task in the process - splitting, cuttting, scraping & curling techniques are applied to create this 80-tine chasen, ensuring smooth & effortless whisking.

Please note: Due to the natural qualities of bamboo each individual chasen has its own look, patterns and variations. 
 
How to care for your chasen:
 
Before using, soak your new chasen in warm water for about 1/2 hour. This unfurls & cleans the tines & makes them more pliable - perfect for a frothy traditional bowl of matcha. Soak the bristles at least for a few minutes before each subsequent use. Be careful not to brush the bottom of your tea bowl too much to protect tines!
 
Rinse your chasen with warm water or whisk a bowl of warm water & place chasen on a whisk holder (kusenaoshi) to dry.  Do not use soap!
