When concocting matcha, one of the most important utensils is the matcha whisk. A matcha whisk is called a chasen in Japan and skilled Japanese Chasen-craftsmen came up with this bamboo whisk. If you’re looking for reasons to incorporate a matcha whisk into your matcha making routine, then read on.

Creamy and Even Texture

It gives matcha a creamy and even texture since the thin bamboo bristles distribute the matcha chunks evenly. Once you get the hang of the whisk it’ll be really easy to use. Simply place a small spoon of matcha in a high bowl and add a bit of water and mix until frothy and free from particles.

Water Temperature

The ideal water temperature for getting the perfect matcha is around 70 to 80 C. This will give you the perfect tasting matcha that’s ready to be whisked. Make sure not to overboil unless you want bitter and strong green tea.
