Matcha is the healthier alternative to coffee that gives you longer lasting focus and energy without the jitters or crash
With high levels of L-theanine and 1/3 of the caffeine compared to coffee, match gives you sustainable clean energy with out the jitters.
The most important part of making matcha? The bamboo whisk.
🍵 Delicate bristles of a bamboo whisk are specifically designed to efficiently dissolve and froth matcha powder in water, creating a smooth, velvety texture that is difficult to achieve with other utensils.
This process ensures that the matcha powder is fully incorporated, preventing clumps and yielding a consistent, vibrant green color.
Moreover, the gentle whisking action helps to aerate the matcha, enhancing its flavor profile and aroma.
The use of a bamboo whisk is not only practical but also respects the centuries-old tradition of matcha preparation, contributing to the authenticity and mindfulness of the tea ceremony.
Bamboo whisk ensures an optimal matcha drinking experience, where each sip embodies the harmony of flavour, texture, and cultural reverence.

Have questions?
What is a Japanese bamboo whisk (chasen), and why is it used for matcha?
A Japanese bamboo whisk, or chasen, is a traditional utensil used to prepare matcha tea. It features delicate, finely carved tines that efficiently mix and froth matcha powder with water, creating a smooth and creamy texture essential for the perfect cup of matcha.
How do you use a bamboo whisk to prepare matcha?
To use a bamboo whisk, place matcha powder in a bowl (chawan), add hot water (not boiling or around 80 degrees), and gently whisk in a zigzag motion until frothy. The whisk's fine tines help dissolve the matcha evenly, ensuring a rich and flavorful tea experience.
What are the benefits of using a bamboo whisk for matcha preparation?
Using a bamboo whisk ensures a consistent texture and flavor profile in matcha. It enhances the tea's natural sweetness and aroma while creating a pleasing froth that adds to the aesthetic appeal of the tea ceremony.
How do you care for and maintain a bamboo whisk?
After each use, rinse the whisk under running water to remove matcha residue. Gently pat dry with a clean cloth and reshape the tines. Store the whisk on a whisk holder (chasentate) to maintain its shape and prolong its lifespan. Avoid soaking the whisk in water or placing it in a dishwasher, as this can damage the bamboo.
Can a bamboo whisk be used for purposes other than matcha preparation?
While primarily used for matcha, a bamboo whisk can also be used for whisking other powdered beverages like hot chocolate or for mixing ingredients in certain recipes. However, it is best to dedicate a whisk specifically for matcha to avoid flavor transfer.
