Care Instructions

Chawan Matcha Bowl

Wash gently with warm water and mild dish soap. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh detergents. Do not place it in the dishwasher or microwave. This will help prevent damage to the glaze or cracking. Allow the Japanese matcha bowl to air dry completely before storing.

Bamboo Chasen Whisk

Rinse with warm water immediately after use to remove any matcha residue. Avoid soap or soaking the whisk, as it can damage the chasen bamboo matcha whisk. Shake off excess water and allow the whisk prongs to air dry in the whisk holder to maintain its shape. Store in a dry place to prevent mold or warping and help keep them in perfect condition. Inspect the whisk regularly for the best results and replace it when the prongs become brittle or break.

Ceramic Whisk or Chasen Holder

Wipe clean with a damp cloth or rinse with mild soap and warm water. Ensure it is completely dry before placing the whisk on it.

Tip: To preserve the set's longevity and appearance, store it in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does first harvest matcha tea taste like?

A chasen is a traditional Japanese bamboo whisk used to prepare matcha tea. It features numerous delicate prongs that effectively mix the matcha powder with hot water. The chasen helps create a smooth, frothy consistency essential for the perfect matcha experience, whether in traditional Japanese tea ceremonies or everyday matcha preparation.

What are the benefits of using a matcha bowl?

While you can technically whisk matcha in any bowl, using a proper matcha bowl is highly recommended. Matcha bowls are specifically designed with a wide, rounded shape, perfect for whisking without spilling and ensuring the matcha is evenly mixed. Standard bowls may have sharp edges or be too narrow, making achieving the smooth, frothy texture essential for matcha difficult. If a chawan isn't available, choose a bowl with a wide, flat bottom and enough depth to accommodate the whisking motion for the best results.

Is the matcha bowl microwave or dishwasher safe?

Yes, it is absolutely worth getting a matcha whisk, also known as a chasen. A chasen is specifically designed to mix matcha powder with water efficiently and create the smooth, frothy texture that defines a perfect bowl of matcha. Its delicate bamboo prongs evenly blend the powder without clumps, enhancing the tea's flavor and presentation.

How long does a bamboo whisk typically last?

Yes, you can use a matcha bowl to make matcha milk lattes. A matcha bowl is ideal for whisking matcha powder with water into a smooth, frothy base before adding your choice of milk. The bowl's wide, rounded shape makes it easy to use a bamboo whisk, ensuring the matcha is evenly blended without clumps.

Once the matcha is prepared in the bowl, pour it into a glass or mug, add warmed milk, and enjoy your matcha latte. Alternatively, you can whisk the milk directly into the matcha in the bowl if you prefer a simpler preparation method. The versatility and ergonomic design of a chawan make it an excellent tool for traditional matcha and modern lattes!
