Ideal used together with a Chasen matcha whisk

The Matcha tea spoon, or "Chashaku", is a traditional spoon used in Japanese matcha tea making. A spoonful of matcha with the Chashaku is equivalent to 1 serving of matcha.

Made from Golden bamboo. Approximately 16 to 17 cm. 

Maintenance tips:

After use, rinse with clean water, handling it gently. Do not use detergents. Wipe well with a clean, dry, soft cloth.  

Manufacturing method: 

Cut bamboo, then twist under heat. 

How to whisk matcha:

  • Ideally you should place the whisk into hot water for a couple of seconds to soften the bamboo and loosen the strands before use.
  • Measure out 1 - 2 scoops with your Chashaku of matcha powder into a cup or ceremonial matcha bowl.

  • Add about 60 ml hot water to your cup and begin to whisk. This is the tricky part! Whisk the matcha vigorously in a  zig-zag motion (not circular whisking as in baking), taking special care not to scrape the strings across the bottom of the cup.

  • Once you've created an even layer of foam on, slowly remove the whisk in a swirling motion to create a soft peak of foam on top.
