[Safe Materials] Made from thin bamboo, the chasen is an essential tool for making matcha. Because it's made from natural bamboo, it's safe and suitable for beginners and intermediate tea brewers alike. Product Description: While a standard chasen has around 70 bristles, the 100-stem set has around 81-95. The more bristles there are, the finer the bubbles produced, making it relatively easy for beginners to make tea. The 100-stem set, in particular, has more bristles, making it easier for beginners to make fine bubbles. As this is a natural material, individual variations in size, color, and knot condition may occur. Therefore, please note that the actual product may differ from the image. Country of Origin: China, Material: Bamboo ● Size: (approx.) Diameter 6cm x Height 10.5cm, Handle Diameter: 2.7cm *As each chasen is handmade, there may be individual differences. ●Box: Comes in a plastic case
{Handling Instructions} - When you first start using a new chasen, rinse it lightly in a tub or bowl, then blanch it in hot water (chasen-doshi). Leave it to dry naturally in a well-ventilated place out of direct sunlight. When doing so, placing it face down will help it dry cleanly without losing its shape. After that, store it in a cool, dark place with little change in temperature or humidity. Also, vertical cracks may appear due to natural drying, but please enjoy the changes in appearance and texture as part of the natural flavor of bamboo. Not dishwasher, microwave, or oven safe.
