Chasen Matcha Whisk 80 Times

Why 80? A whisk with 60 teeth or less is only suitable for making the thicker matcha tea known as Koicha, while a whisk with 100 teeth is only suitable for the regular thin matcha tea known as Usucha. An 80-tine whisk is capable of cooking both styles with exceptional results.

Matcha is ground green tea leaves and can sometimes form lumps when stirred into water or milk. A chasen, a bamboo whisk, is perfect for this. It has more teeth than a regular whisk and can mix matcha quickly and without lumps. By the way, matcha never completely dissolves; instead, you need to beat it into a frothy mixture. Over time the matcha may settle, but that is normal. Just stir and your drink is ready to enjoy again.
