The bamboo Matcha Whisk, also known as chasen, is traditionally handcrafted from a single piece of bamboo. The purpose of the Whisk is to mix the Matcha into a uniform consistency as the powder tends to clump when coming into contact with water.
Without using a traditional whisk in your preparation, you will likely miss out on the delicate nuances that only perfectly blended matcha, with just the right amount of foam on top, can offer.
