About This Chasen

The Chasen is a necessary tool for whisking Matcha into Usucha, or “thin tea”. Being made of Bamboo, the whisk is flexible enough to agitate the tea without easily breaking. Chasens are often classified by the number of prongs, with this particular whisk having 100 making it an excellent whisk for Usucha.

The higher the number of prongs the better quality of foam one is able to achieve, though the more difficult the physical whisking process is. Fewer prongs are suitable for Koicha, or “thick tea”, which has no foam.

For more detailed guides on making Usucha vs Koicha, check out our whisking guides here.
