Recommended Uses:
- Preparing traditional Usucha (thin matcha)
- Blending Koicha (thick matcha)
- Creating smooth matcha lattes
Overview: Traditional bamboo matcha whisks (chasen) are handcrafted using centuries-old techniques for optimal matcha preparation.
Description: Each chasen is carved from a single piece of bamboo and features 100 prongs designed to effectively aerate matcha powder in water. The fine tines create the characteristic microfoam essential for authentic matcha texture while preventing clumping.
Technical Specifications:
- Material Options: White Bamboo (Bai) or Purple Bamboo (Murasaki)
- Prong Count: 100
- Construction: Hand-split from single bamboo piece
-
Characteristics:
- White Bamboo: Lighter with more flexible tines, suitable for casual use
- Purple Bamboo: Denser structure with greater resilience, more resistant to breakage and better suited for regular preparation
Usage Instructions:
- Before first use, soak the whisk in warm water for 1-2 minutes
- Hold the handle between your thumb and two fingers
- Whisk matcha using a quick "W" or "M" motion (not circular)
- Whisk at a 45° angle for optimal aeration
Care Instructions: Rinse with warm water only—no soap or detergents. Ideally store on a whisk holder (kusenaoshi) after use to maintain prong shape. If a holder is unavailable, rinse thoroughly and place upside down to dry completely. Replace every 3-6 months with regular use.

from 91 reviewsI have not received my tea!!!!
I absolutely the Jasmine Dragon Pearls/ Buddhas Tears. I have a very sensitive tummy and often struggle to unwind after a long workday.With this amazing tea , it’s such so tasteful and light and ooh so refreshing and relaxing. I’ve tried so many different teas but this is my all time favourite.
This is probably one of my favourite teas, so delicious!
Good quality product but the container cover needs improvement., easily loose and not air tight .
I'd never thought to combine Puerh with lavender, but this makes for a very soothing flavour combination. The calming lavender and earthy puerh feels very 'Tasmanian'. I'm looking forward to trying more teas here.
Such a lovely, sweet, smooth tea.

I know it's a big call but it's true - it's my favourite tea ever. I tried it on a retreat in Tasmania and fell in love. Look forward to my little daily cup! Love the earthy flavour

Dong Ding Oolong is one of my go-to teas when working long hours in the clinic. It gives me a lovely little lift and brightens my mind so I can be a better practitioner. It has beautiful floral aromatic tones and such a clean finish. I love to drink this tea in my Gaiwan tea pots! Moment of Tea are the best!
I tried this tea at the Salamanca Market's earlier this year and absolutely fell in love, slowly worked my way through the tin I bought over the past few months and have finally ordered a replacement. Absolutely going to keep coming back as I drink this at least a few times every week!
