Traditional instruments deserve the best care

Ii is important to treat well the traditional Japanese instruments intended for the tea ceremony. These instruments are highly respected in Japan and they are often fragile. Keeping chasen in its original package does not allow the air to circulate well enough and the bamboo whisk can start moulding. The bamboo whisk stand, in Japanese kusenaoshi, helps keep the original shape of chasen, it protects it from damage and lengthens its lifetime.

Preparation

What happens in traditional Japanese tea ceremony?

The entire ceremony has strictly set rules and often takes a couple of hours. The milled tea is put to a tea bowl – chawan – with a bamboo spoon – chashaku. Matcha is mixed with a bit of hot water of about 70 °C and whisked by the bamboo whisk – chasen – by hand. Then the rest of the water is added and matcha is frothed to a thick foam with chasen.

Matcha is traditionally prepared in two variants:

Usucha, gentler type of tea, it consists of 2 spoons of chashaku for 70 ml of water. Then it is energetically whisked in the shape of the letter M, until foam appears.
For koicha, stronger type of beverage, 3-4 spoons of chashaku are used for 40 ml of water. Koicha has thicker consistency and it is stirred with a slower circular movement. There are no bubbles on the surface.
