⭐茶杓 Chashaku: tea scoop - Teelöffel


Traditional Matcha set would not be complete without a Chashaku.

Original Japanese bamboo scoop “Chashaku”, which elegant shape is specifically designed to measure the correct amount of matcha powder and transfer it to a tea bowl. We believe the scoop accomplishes the task far better than a teaspoon and is therefore an essential utensil for the preparation of ceremonial grade matcha.

One chashaku scoopful of matcha powder equates to roughly 1 gram. Two scoopfuls equate to a standard serving amount for Usucha style brewing. Most standard chashaku are made of white bamboo. Design-wise, they are made of one narrow piece carved along the vertical growth of the bamboo. True tea masters in Japan are known to carve it their own. The chashaku is a work of art and enhances your Matcha experience.

 

☆Chashaku - Tea scoop - Tee-Schöpflöffel

Chashaku, a classic flat matcha spoon made of bamboo. Special shape for the perfect dosage of matcha powder. Handcrafted in Nara Prefecture.

⭐茶筅 Chasen: Tea whisk - Tee Quirl

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

   SOLD OUT/AUSVERKAUFT  

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※


Bamboo tea whisk, formally known as chasen, is one of the most important utensils you will need for making matcha. By tradition, it is hand crafted from a single piece of bamboo, and will have around 100 prongs. These prongs are soft and pliable when wet.

 

The matcha should be whisked in a zig-zag motion, avoiding contact with the bowl, to ensure the powder is mixed and that a consistent lather is created. There are various types of chasen available, with key differences being the number of prongs & size of the chasen.  More expensive chasens are often smoke treated (darker color) and these are used in traditional tea ceremonies. Generally speaking, and for everyday use, a basic chasen will be perfect.

 

How long will it last? 

The life of a chasen is fairly short. In the traditional tea ceremony, it is recommended to use a new chasen on each time! This is based on the proverb of Ichigoichie (一期一会), which means that only one opportunity exists for one meeting. However, for casual tea drinkers like ourselves, it is much more economical to reuse. But when it is time to finally retire your whisk?
Once the prongs start showing signs of damage is usually a good indication that your chasen needs replaced.

*sample image

The chasen will show signs of wear and tear.
The chasenk in the left has never been used, the one on the center has been used only a few times, and the one on the right has been heavily used. (*It’s important to note that the picture illustrates the typical image of a whisk damages.)

To increase the life of your chasen:

 ● Before first use, soak in warm water.
 ● Check your chasen prior to each use for broken or damaged prongs.
 ● Clean it after each use (no detergent), just whisk in warm water or run under the tap.
 ● Allow your chasen to dry on a chasen holder or rest upside down to prevent mold. - - - - ->

⭐懐紙 Kaishi: Kaishi Tissue


It’s handy and smart! Kaishi-paper, sanitary etiquette for adults

Kaishi is Japanese paper that is used during the tea ceremony for placing sweets on and wiping one's fingers. It is normally carried folded and tucked into the front of one's Kimono

Some of higher quality kaishi has subtly printed with a translucent pine, bamboo, and plum blossom design in each paper. 

 

The tradition of Kaishi is still used in tea ceremonies and for Japanese food.

Japanese people have used it for a long time, however it became less important as our clothes shifted from kimono to Western style clothes. People don’t usually carry it today, but it’s still very important in tea ceremony and traditional Japanese food. It is used as a handkerchief to wipe your mouth or used as a plate when eating something moist. Using kaishi looks so elegant and smart.
