Bamboo "Shin Style" Whisk

Handcrafted from natural bamboo, this traditional Shin style chasen features fewer, thicker tines designed explicitly for creating smooth, refined matcha with minimal foam. The Shin style is preferred in formal tea ceremonies where elegance and restraint are paramount, producing a silky, velvety texture that allows the pure taste of premium matcha to shine without excessive froth. Essential for achieving the sophisticated, understated presentation favoured in traditional Japanese tea culture.

Before first use, gently rinse your chasen in warm water and let the bamboo tines soften and naturally separate. Soak the whisk head in warm water for 1-2 minutes, allowing the delicate bamboo to become pliable.
