Designed for intense matcha preparation, the Louvins Koicha Matcha Whisk – 70 Prongs is a handcrafted utensil made from natural brown bamboo. This rare model is intended for Koicha—the thick, concentrated version of matcha used in the most solemn moments of the chanoyu tea ceremony. With 70 thick prongs, it allows for a dense, even blend with no foam.

A Tool Rooted in Japanese Tradition

Each Chasen is hand-carved using ancestral techniques to ensure flexibility, durability, and precision. The number of prongs is crucial to the final texture of the matcha: with 70 robust strands, this whisk offers the ideal balance between mixing power and smooth consistency—without compromising the subtlety of the flavors.

Technical Specifications

• Prongs: 70 thick prongs, ideal for Koicha matcha.
• Material: Natural, untreated brown bamboo.
• Crafting: 100% handcrafted using traditional Japanese methods.
• Height: Approx. 11 cm.
• Use: Best suited for Koicha preparation.

Usage Tips

Before use, soak the prongs in warm water for 30 seconds to soften them. Koicha preparation does not require foam—use slow circular or spiral motions to dissolve the powder into a small amount of hot water for a smooth and rich consistency.

Care & Maintenance

After each use, rinse with clear water (no soap), and let air dry. For best results and shape retention, store on a ceramic whisk holder (kusenaoshi), and keep in a dry, well-ventilated space.
