BambooMN Matcha Whisk Set – Golden Chasen (Tea Whisk) Chashaku (Hooked Bamboo Scoop) Tea Spoon – 1 Set – Premium Matcha Set to Prepare a Traditional Cup of Matcha
$ 4.32
- The Matcha Whisk Set arrived quickly, and exactly as expected and advertised. High quality ‘golden’ bamboo, well made. This is hard to beat for the price/quality. The reseller BambooMN enjoys a high rating for good reason.The Chashaku (measuring scoop) is quite long, and nicely curved. I really like the ergonomics of this one. Most that you find are straight handled, with only the scoop curved up. This has a nice long sweeping curve along the handle that makes scooping and pouring out the powder very easy. The first time I attended a family tea ceremony in Japan they used this curved, ergonomic style, so it’s authentic.The whisk itself is good quality. The tips are having a little difficulty recurring themselves on the ceramic holder I purchased for it, but it’s nothing extraordinary. In fact the entire set is above average quality all around. Highly recommended to start your Matcha explorations with!If you are looking for high quality Matcha, some of the best Matcha (and Japanese green teas in general) in the world are produced by the Ippodo Tea Company out of Kyoto. They’re a 300-year-old company, and 6th generation just since they changed their name to Ippodo.Their teas can get a little pricey at the higher end, but even their medium-quality teas are head and shoulders above the rest.I had the great pleasure of visiting their main tea house in Kyoto earlier this year. Fantastic teas. You can order their products in North America (at pretty close to the same price you’d pay in Japan), from an authorized outlet called “Menos Store” (search online). A number of resellers offer it here on Amazon as well.When ordering here, my only caution would be to make sure you check the “best by” dates when you receive them. If it’s too near or past that date, send it back! That said, Ippodo teas tend to have a shorter ‘best by’ period because of their quality and utter lack of additives.Enjoy!
