Rikyu Chasen

Discover the traditional Japanese tool for preparing matcha - the chasen, in a refined version crafted from dark bamboo. This bamboo whisk is an indispensable companion for whisking matcha to perfection. Thanks to its dense array of fine prongs, it works the tea into a smooth, silky and creamy consistency that elevates the entire tasting experience. Yet it remains effortless to use, bringing the authentic ritual of preparing Japanese green tea straight into your home. A wonderful gift for tea lovers and a beautiful addition to any tea collection. Treat yourself to a chasen and discover the beauty of traditional Japanese tea craft. The Rikyū Chasen (利休茶筅) is named after the most celebrated master of the Japanese tea ceremony, Sen no Rikyū, who over four centuries ago shaped the way of tea into the form we know today. It is made from dark bamboo, which gains its distinctive colouring through heat-toasting during production. A detail that makes every piece a small work of traditional craft.
