[Material] This matcha set includes a bamboo chasen and a ceramic chasen straightener. Each chasen is carefully crafted by artisans from natural bamboo, combining flexibility and durability.

This is the perfect basic set for whisking matcha and practicing tea ceremony. [Product Specifications] The set contains approximately 100 chasen, more than the standard 64 or 80, ensuring a fine, delicate foam. Even beginners can easily create a creamy foam, and it's also suitable for matcha lattes and authentic tea ceremonies. Chasen: Approx. 6cm diameter x 11cm height (handmade, so individual measurements may vary). Chasen holder: Approx. 6.5cm diameter x 7.5cm height. [Instructions and Care] Before first use, lightly blanch the chasen in hot water at approximately 80°C. After use, rinse gently with water, place in the tea whisk holder, and let it air dry. Store in a well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight. Do not use in the dishwasher or detergent. This helps the tea whisk holder maintain its shape and prevent mold.
