How do I prevent my chasen from getting moldy?

To prevent your chasen from getting moldy, always rinse it thoroughly with warm water after each use, avoiding soap as it can damage the delicate bamboo fibers. Never leave it soaking in water, as prolonged exposure to moisture can weaken the bamboo and encourage mold growth. After rinsing, allow the whisk to air dry completely by placing it on a whisk holder, which helps maintain its shape while promoting airflow.

How do I choose the best matcha accessories for beginners?

For beginners, choosing the right matcha starter set ensures a smooth and enjoyable tea-making experience. Start with the essentials: a bamboo whisk for creating a smooth, frothy texture, a matcha bowl with a broad base for easy whisking, and a matcha scoop for accurate portioning. A matcha tea sifter is also helpful in preventing clumps, ensuring a silky consistency. Opt for high-quality, durable materials like ceramic bowls and authentic bamboo whisks. To maintain your whisk properly, consider a whisk holder to help it dry and keep its shape. For convenience, beginner-friendly matcha accessory sets are available, offering a complete kit for traditional preparation.

Can I put my matcha accessories in the dishwasher?

It depends on the type of matcha tea accessory. Bamboo accessories, such as the chasen (whisk) and chashaku (scoop), should never be put in the dishwasher, as heat and moisture can cause them to crack, warp, or grow mold. Instead, rinse with warm water and let them air dry completely. Ceramic accessories, like the matcha bowl (chawan) and whisk holder, are usually dishwasher-safe, but hand washing is recommended to preserve their glaze and longevity.

How long does a bamboo whisk last?

The lifespan of a bamboo whisk depends on usage and care. With regular use, it typically lasts a few months. If used daily, consider replacing it every 2–3 months or when the delicate tines become brittle, break, or lose their shape. Proper care, such as rinsing after use, air drying completely, and storing in a dry place, can help extend its lifespan.
