The Louvins Usucha Matcha Whisk – 100 prongs is the ideal companion for lovers of light, airy, and perfectly whisked matcha. Made by hand from natural golden bamboo, this traditional Japanese whisk stands out with its 100 fine prongs. This configuration allows for quick emulsification and a smooth, dense, and lasting foam—hallmarks of high-quality Usucha matcha.

A High-Level Tea Ceremony Tool

Usucha matcha is lighter and more fluid than Koicha, and requires fast, precise whisking. With its 100 delicate strands, this Chasen provides both flexibility and maximum surface contact to perfectly incorporate air into the mixture. The result: a velvety texture, stable foam, and a visually refined beverage—true to the chanoyu tradition.

Craftsmanship Features

• Prongs: 100 fine prongs, perfect for Usucha matcha.
• Material: Natural, untreated golden bamboo.
• Crafting: 100% handcrafted following Japanese tradition.
• Height: Approx. 11 cm.
• Use: Usucha matcha (light, frothy, and smooth).

Usage Tips

Soak the Chasen in warm water for a few seconds to soften the prongs. Add hot (not boiling) water to your sifted matcha, and whisk briskly in a zigzag or “W” motion until a shiny foam appears. The 100-prong design offers fluid handling and optimal efficiency.

Care & Maintenance

After each use, rinse the whisk in warm water without soap. Let it air dry, ideally on a whisk holder (kusenaoshi) to preserve its rounded shape. Store in a dry area, away from humidity and direct heat.
