FAQ - Matcha accessories 🍵
- What accessories do I need for the traditional preparation of matcha?
For beginners, we recommend a bamboo whisk (chasen - 茶筅), a matcha bowl (chawan - 抹茶椀) and a matcha spoon (chashaku - 茶杓) as basic equipment for your first matcha. If you are already a matcha pro, you might be interested in a matcha strainer (furui - 抹茶篩), a broom holder (kichōmen) and Japanese tea caddies (natsume - 棗).

A matcha whisk, also known as a "chasen", is a specially shaped bamboo whisk. It is used to whisk the matcha powder with water in a W-shaped motion to create a lump-free, frothy tea. How to make your matcha properlyyou can read in detail in our blog.

Sieving the matcha powder removes lumps, making the tea finer and more homogeneous. The result: a creamier, lump-free and better blended matcha. For anyone who values an authentic and high-quality matcha experience, the sieve is an indispensable accessory.

The bamboo spoon (chashaku) enables precise and consistent dosing of the matcha powder. Traditionally, 1-3 spoonfuls of powder are used for one portion, depending on the desired strength of the matcha.
