What it's for

Known traditionally as a chasen, this bamboo whisk is made specifically for combining matcha and water. Its fine bamboo tines work the powder through the water evenly, so you get a silky, lightly foamy cup rather than a gritty, clumped one

It's a small tool, but a big part of the ritual. The right whisk turns a couple of minutes at the counter into a moment

How to use

Before first use, soak the tines in warm water for about a minute. This softens the bamboo and helps prevent it from breaking.

Sift 1–2g of matcha (about ½–1 tsp) into your bowl and add a small splash of warm, not boiling, water (around 80°C). Hold the whisk lightly and move it in a quick zigzag until the matcha is smooth and lightly foamy

Care & cleaning

Rinse the whisk in warm water straight after use, no soap needed, then shake off the excess and leave it to air dry fully before putting it away. Never put it in the dishwasher, as the heat and moisture can damage the bamboo.

Resting it on a whisk stand between uses helps it keep its shape and last much longer

  • I just tried my first cup today, and it was amazing! I was genuinely impressed by the quality of the matcha, especially after having a few disappointing experiences with other companies in the past. Mori Matcha reminded me of the top-tier cafés I’ve visited, where the matcha is incredibly creamy, smooth, and free from that bitter taste. Thank you so much for putting such high-quality matcha out there. I’m really looking forward to enjoying the same amazing quality every month! 😍 P.S. would rate 10/10 ⭐

Our story

From Uji to you

We kept ordering matcha that came out flat, bitter or barely green. If that was the best London had to offer, something wasn't right

In Uji, matcha is not an afterthought. Leaves are shade-grown, carefully milled and whisked within days of harvest. We worked directly with growers in Uji to bring small batches of ceremonial-grade matcha to London while still fresh

Good to know

Questions, answered

What is a chasen?

The traditional name for a bamboo matcha whisk, made specifically to combine matcha and water into a smooth, foamy cup

Why does my whisk need soaking before first use?

Soaking the tines in warm water for about a minute softens the bamboo. Softer tines are more flexible and much less likely to snap while you're finding your rhythm

How long does a whisk last?

With gentle rinsing, full air drying and a rest on a stand between uses, a bamboo whisk can last a long time. The tines are delicate, so a light hand goes a long way

Can I use a milk frother instead?

A frother will mix matcha and water, but it won't give you the same light, silky foam. The whisk's fine bamboo tines are shaped specifically for matcha, and using one is part of what makes the ritual worthwhile

How do I care for my whisk?

Rinse gently in warm water after use, no soap needed, and let it dry fully before putting it away. Never put it in the dishwasher, and rest it on a whisk stand between uses to help it keep its shape

Will it fit my bowl?

Yes, it's sized for standard matcha bowls and works well with any wide, shallow bowl

Is delivery free?

Yes, UK delivery is free. Every order is carefully packed and sent out as quickly as possible
