Discover our long-handle purple bamboo matcha whisk (chasen), ideal for the art of traditional Japanese matcha preparation in your favorite matcha bowl or modern tall mug. Includes a tabletop rest stand.
Crafted from purple bamboo, this chasen (茶筅) features an extended handle for comfortable whisking in vessels of different heights. Its finely cut, flexible bamboo tines help blend matcha powder and water into a smooth, evenly suspended tea with a delicate layer of foam.
Purple bamboo is valued for its resilience, flexibility, and naturally rich, dark color. Subtle variations in tone and grain give each whisk its own distinctive character.
A tabletop rest stand is included for convenient placement and elegant display between uses.

How to Use
Before use, briefly soak the bamboo tines in warm water to soften them.
Sift matcha powder into a chawan (matcha bowl) or mug, add water at the appropriate temperature, and whisk briskly using a quick W- or M-shaped motion rather than stirring in circles. Continue until the matcha is evenly blended and a fine foam develops, if desired.
For a matcha latte, whisk the matcha with a small amount of water before adding your preferred milk.
Care
Rinse with warm water only after use. Avoid soap, dishwashers, and prolonged soaking.
Gently shake off excess water and allow the whisk to air-dry thoroughly before storing. Use the included tabletop rest for convenient placement between uses.
As a natural bamboo utensil, variations in color and grain are expected. The delicate tines will gradually show wear with regular use.
