About Matcha
Matcha is a finely ground tea created using plants that are shaded from the sun before harvesting. This process concentrates chlorophyll and other nutrients into the leaves, resulting in a beautiful green color and increased health benefits. The best matcha uses leaves that are very slowly ground (at a rate of about 30g per hour) to reduce oxidation.
Materials: Powdered organic green tea (Camellia sinensis)
Volume: 30 grams

Bamboo Matcha Whisk, Suho
$ 44.00 USD
– Sold OutThe bamboo matcha whisk, also known as chasen, is traditionally used to prepare matcha tea in the Japanese tea ceremony. It is made by taking a piece of Henon bamboo and splitting its upper base by hand into extra-fine rods. Those rods are then shaved into thin tines that produce the frothy consistency matcha. The unsplit part of the bamboo forms the whisk handle, a reminder of the past life of this artful tool. Every part of the making process is done by hand with careful precision and focus. The thoughtful nature of its craftsmanship ensures the highest quality drinking matcha, making the chasen an essential utensil for tea connoisseurs and budding masters alike.
The Suho Matcha Whisk has 72 tines to make extra-thin matcha, or usucha. This style is crafted in a standard bell shape for use in the Urasenke tea school.
Materials: Bamboo
Dimensions: Length: 5" Width: 2 1/4"
Care: Hand-wash only with no soap or detergents, and dry immediately after each use. When making matcha, be careful not to use too much force and scrape the bottom of the cup with the tips- because this will cause them to bend or break. Since bamboo is a natural material, minor fraying of strands may occur over time- prolong the lifespan of its tines by storing it on a ceramic whisk stand.

How to Use: To prepare matcha, pour boiling water into the tea bowl and allow to cool slightly. Add ceremonial-grade matcha using a bamboo ladle. Using a chasen (bamboo whisk), whisk vigorously in an "M" shape until the matcha reaches a creamy froth. Sip directly from the bowl. For best results, use ceremonial-grade matcha, a bamboo ladle, and an 80- or 100-tip chasen.
