WHAT IS A MATCHA WHISK

A matcha whisk is created from a single piece of bamboo and also known as a chasen. It has tines that spring back and add gentle movement to the whisking process, which is key to achieving those essential flavors and textures.
While it may be tempting to reach for the metal whisk already in your kitchen, there are better alternatives to try out first.
Not only does matcha not mix very well with metals, which can negate some of the great flavors, but a metal whisk can be too aggressive and heavy for your matcha powder, which can make it very difficult to get the texture that adds so much to the matcha drinking experience.
Move your matcha whisk in a w or m pattern to ensure full oxygen incorporation and mixing. It is important to note that not all of the matcha will be fully incorporated into the water. The frothing is the best way to ensure that your water and matcha powder mix together properly, but if you find that there is still matcha powder at the bottom of the bowl or the cup after proper mixing, it means the froth has reached saturation point and no more matcha powder can be mixed in.
