Discover a taste of tradition with our bamboo matcha whisk. The chasen is a bamboo whisk originally used to prepare matcha in the cultural activity of the Japanese tea ceremony. It’s beautifully hand-carved from a single piece of bamboo. This whisk will help you create a matcha with an elegant texture and allow you to elevate your matcha-making experience, connecting with matcha’s Japanese heritage.
To care for your whisk through every day use, do not wash soap—simply run it under hot water to remove all visible signs of your matcha. For a deeper clean, place your whisk in hot water and let it sit for 5 minutes. After cleaning, let it air dry and store it standing upright in a mild environment.
Matcha Latte Intructions
Step 1: Ingredients
For the perfect latte, first make sure you have the following: Alana Matcha, water, your preferred milk, and optionally your preferred sweetener.
Step 2: Heat Water
Matcha is usually prepared in hot water no more than 175ºF. Different flavors are brought out at different temperatures below 175ºF, so we recommend experimenting to find your favorite flavor! In general, hotter water will make for a more tea-like flavor, and cooler water for a more naturally mellow and sweet flavor.
Step 3: Mix Matcha
Add a splash of water to your matcha and stir gently to create a smooth paste. Continue adding about 1-2 ounces of water and gently whisk to create a smooth, frothy matcha with no clumps. Aim for soft, rapid movement of the whisk in a W or side-to-side motion.
Step 4: Add Milk
Pour your matcha into a cup of your preferred milk. For a hot latte, first heat your milk and froth separately.
Step 5: Sweeten & Enjoy
If desired, sweeten your matcha latte to taste. Give it a final stir, and sip into serenity!
