STEP 1) Sift 1.5 g matcha tea into your tea bowl.
STEP 2) Pour 75 ml (2.54 fl oz) 85℃ (185°F) water over the matcha powder.
STEP 3) Whisk with a chasen (tea whisk) until foamy.
❖ Before Step 1, Warm your tea bowl. Pour hot water in it, then discard all the water and wipe the bowl dry with a cloth. During whisking, a cold tea bowl might cool the water down too quickly, which could turn the matcha bitter.
❖ Sift your matcha powder. Matcha clots easily in hot water. To prevent this, sift the powder through a fine strainer.
When your matcha is ready, drink it immediately because as it cools down it might turn bitter.
❖ Matcha is best fresh. Consume it within a month after opening.
❖ Try experimenting to find your preferred way of enjoying this matcha.
❖ Try the matcha following the maker’s recommended preparation method. Refer to the guidelines provided in the packaging.
SHIROTAKE SHIN CHASEN
Initiation:
Before first use, let it sit in hot water for a few minutes.
Let it soak in warm water before every use to protect the tines from breaking.
Cleaning:
Rinse it carefully under running water. If needed, gently remove the remaining matcha stuck on the whisk. Do not soak the whisk in water.
Do not use dishwasher, dryer, or dish soap!
Storage:
Store it in a place with good ventilation and humidity not lower than 50%, preferably on a Kusenaoshi (whisk stand). If you don’t have a stand, keep it looking upwards. This way, the tines might “close up” and straighten out, but that can be fixed. Make it wet under running water and gently unfold the tines with your fingers. Never do this with a dry whisk as it would break.
Bamboo is a sensitive material. If the whisk is stored away in a too-warm or too-dry place, it might crack.
Lifespan:
The lifespan of a chasen depends on how it is handled and how frequently it is used. As soon as the tips of the tines start to break off, we recommend purchasing a new one.
CHAWAN
Initiation
Initiate the tea bowl first! Let the bowl sit wholly immersed in cold or lukewarm water for a couple of minutes and then let it dry naturally. Matcha patina is natural for white clay, but by initiating the bowl properly, it will develop slower.
Cleaning
After using the tea bowl, rinse it with water. It is better to avoid dishwashing liquid, but you can use gentle, organic soap to clean your bowl. Never use bleach!
Avoid using a dishwasher or dryer!
Avoid placing it on hot surfaces like a stove, and never put it in the microwave or oven.
Only prepare matcha tea in it.
