Long bamboo chasen paired with organic Japanese ceremonial matcha

The Anatae Organic Ceremonial Matcha Long Chasen Kit combines 30 g of Japanese Yabukita matcha with a long bamboo chasen whisk and a small whisk support. The long handle is designed for whisking directly in a cup or glass, making the set suitable for traditional matcha, matcha lattes, beginners, tea enthusiasts, or gifting.

How does this Nishio ceremonial matcha taste?

The matcha comes from Nishio in Aichi, Japan, and uses the Yabukita cultivar. It is harvested by hand in spring during ichibancha, the first harvest. The stated profile is sweet, vegetal, and fresh, with no bitterness. It contains 100% green tea matcha powder and is organic. The matcha received the Meilleur Produit BIO 2022 award.

  • Origin: Nishio, Aichi, Japan
  • Harvest: Spring ichibancha
  • Cultivar: Yabukita
  • Uses: Traditional matcha, matcha latte, and no-bake pastry
  • Yield: Approximately 30 bowls from 30 g

Why choose the long bamboo chasen?

A short chasen is traditionally used in a matcha bowl called a chawan. This long version has an extended handle for narrower vessels, so matcha can be prepared directly in a cup or glass. The bamboo whisk measures 15 cm long and 4 cm across at the bristles. It is designed to disperse the fine powder, reduce lumps, and produce a smooth texture with foam similar to that made by a short chasen.

The set includes a small support for drying the whisk. The chasen arrives in recycled and recyclable cardboard packaging intended to protect it during delivery.

How do you prepare matcha with this kit?

Place about 1 g, or one level teaspoon, of matcha in a cup or glass. Add a small amount of water at no more than 70–75°C, then whisk energetically in an M or W motion. A fine foam should form after about 20 seconds. Add more water for traditional matcha or milk for a matcha latte.

How should the matcha and whisk be stored?

Close the opaque, airtight matcha tin after use and keep it away from light, moisture, and heat. Refrigeration is suggested when the indoor temperature exceeds 24°C. Rinse the chasen with cold water without detergent, remove marks with a soft brush if needed, and let it air-dry upright or on its support in a dry place. Do not return a damp whisk to its cardboard case. The bristles may begin to weaken after approximately 300 uses.
