Can you use a regular whisk for matcha?

Forks, spoons and metal whisks will never properly mix up the matcha—you will always have clumps, and you won’t get the original frothy and savoury taste that the bamboo ‘chasen’ (created specifically for matcha mixing) creates. It’s a must have for preparing the best cup of matcha. The matcha whisk with 80 prong will help you make your at-home matcha even faster!

Pro tip: You can use the matcha whisk best in combination with the matcha bowl.

How to whisk matcha?

  1. Place the whisk in hot water for a few seconds to loosen the strings to soften the bamboo each time before using the Chasen.
  2. Put 1 teaspoon of matcha (1g) in the matcha bowl
  3. Pour warm water (80 degrees) into the bowl
  4. Whisk the matcha in a W-motion (or M-motion) for 20 seconds, enjoy!

Pro tip: don’t scrape the Chasen across the bottom of the matcha bowl.

After each use, rinse with cold water and let it dry on the holder. Make sure to never put your matcha Chasen in the dishwasher or use soap to clean it, as it can extremely damage it.

Matcha whisk name

The matcha whisk (80 prong) aka ‘Chasen’ in Japanese. It is a traditional brush to prepare a matcha tea. These brushes are handmade from a single piece of bamboo and have a very fine structure. It will help you create the very foamy structure of the matcha tea.

What does 80 prong mean?

Well, it is the string count (or the teeth of the Chasen). The more strings a Chasen has the finer they are, which ultimately creates a smoother matcha. The higher the number, the easier it is to mix the tea powder into the water and create the foam.
