A bamboo matcha whisk, or chasen, is an essential tool for those who wish to enjoy tea in a ceremonial way. Be sure to pair this whisk with a ceramic tea whisk stand if you are planning to use it daily, as you'll want to retain the whisk's delicate shape and structure. With proper care, a whisk can whip up over 200 bowls of matcha! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Measurements:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2.4\" x 4.1\"\u003c\/span\u003e H\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eApproximately 70 Prongs (Kazuho)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistory: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTakayama is the original creator of the first matcha whisk 500 years ago and the techniques used to create these whisks were passed down secretly for nearly 400 years.

After use, rinse the whisk thoroughly in warm water to remove any remaining matcha foam and shake off excess moisture. Do not towel dry or you may inadvertently damage the prongs, but store in open air to dry completely, and for best results place on tea whisk stand to dry and store. This ensures the handle doesn't keep any excess moisture, potentially leading to mold, and the stand will help keep the prong's delicate shape. Storing in a comfortable indoor environment that's not too dry and not too humid is ideal so you can avoid cracks and breaks in the handle and prongs. Bamboo is particularly vulnerable to dry conditions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab content3\"\u003eReturns must be made within 2 weeks in original, unused condition with all packaging for either 1.
