The perfect Matcha

For a matcha made in heaven, add our authentic Bamboo Whisk and Chashaku spatula set to your tea-making kit. Traditionally handcrafted from bamboo, this pair is essential for a properly made matcha. Simply measure out and whisk your choice of green tea powder into hot water in an 'M' pattern to taste the difference!

Won’t a teaspoon and balloon whisk do?

In a word, no! Originally from China, the chashaku spatula has been designed specifically as the traditional tool for measuring out matcha. With a shallower bowl than a regular spoon, it functions more as a scoop, and gives you better control over how much matcha you’re adding to your bowl. (One scoop equates to about a third of a teaspoon.)

Materials

Natural bamboo.

The whisk, or ‘chasen’, meanwhile, doesn’t just whisk your matcha – it froths it, thanks to those springy bamboo prongs that prevent the green tea powder from clumping in water. The result is a beautifully smooth, clean green brew.

To prepare the Matcha whisk for use, put it into a cup of warm water for a few minutes to ensure the whisk is pliable (dry whisks can be brittle and prone to breakage).

To make them last for a long time, clean your Matcha Whisk and Chashaku Spoon with hot water straight after use, and make sure you keep them dry. 

What else do I need to make matcha?

To prevent any warping or misshaping of the bamboo whisk, we recommend using our Matcha Whisk Holder, made of smart black porcelain.
