As in sword-making, the weight of a chasen’s handle to tines is a mark of true craftsmanship. This classic Shin tea whisk is perfectly balanced, with a double layer of bamboo that curve from the handle like the gently opening petals of a flower.

This is the roundest tea whisk we carry, and the most versatile. It’s intended for both thick and thin powdered teas, and is the perfect piece for beginning matcha makers.

This whisk is tied with a purple-hued string.

*Please note that handmade items are inherently unique. The whisk you receive may vary slightly from the picture.

Proper Care: prepare whisk for use by dampening in warm water to relax the bamboo fronds. To clean, simply whisk in a bowl of warm water, without soap or detergent. Store upright.
