“CHASEN” (茶筅) Bamboo Matcha Whisk / A Design of GOOD CHĀ is a very important utensil in traditional Japanese tea-making ceremony.
Long chasen comes in a smaller size, but longer in length, which is suitable for whisking matcha in a narrower/ taller bowl.
*Marks on the bamboo occur naturally.
**For first usage, kindly soak the chasen in lukewarm water for 15-30 minutes for the bamboo to loosen. Do avoid using chasen with tall narrow tea cups, and do not press the chasen on the base/side of the cup with force.

Wash & Care Instruction

The chasen can last around 1 year with proper care. However, it should be replaced when the tips are broken or if there are signs of mold. Gently wash with your hands the area that is in contact with matcha. Wash in lukewarm water (or leave it in hot water) before cleaning it with a dry cloth (no dishwasher). Keep it in a dry place with good ventilation. After the second or third usage, the end of the whisk will start to become straight. We recommend using a matcha whisk holder (kusenaoshi) to keep the whisk in correct form. (Otherwise, you can also use your fingers to push outwards the outer bamboo layer.)
