Our matcha whisk is made from 100% bamboo. The protective case is made of plastic and contains a desiccant sachet.

  1. Sift or add 1 to 2 scoops of matcha (about 2g) to your bowl.
  2. Add 65-75ml of hot water (80°C, not boiling, this is important to retain all the benefits and avoid a more pronounced bitterness! ☺️)
  3. Whisk vigorously in an "M" shape like "Maïdo" or a "W" shape with the chasen until you get a fine and creamy foam! If you're feeling a bit lazy and we understand, no problem: you can use an electric whisk. We won't (hardly) judge you for it!
  4. Enjoy your Maïdo Matcha (and tell us what you thought on our social media! 😊)

The whisk: the key to perfectly prepared matcha

At Maïdo, we know that to prepare the best matcha, you need the right accessories. For this: nothing beats a good whisk, the instrument that respects the millennial tradition of Japanese tea.

Our Chasen (whisk) is not just any whisk. It is the soul of the ceremony, carved from bamboo according to the ancestral gestures of artisans. Each slat, meticulously hand-cut, vibrates under your fingers to transform matcha powder into a creamy and velvety foam.

It is the tool for true matcha lovers, for those who understand that preparation is part of the pleasure. A matcha whisk to be handled with consciousness, in calm, listening to the slight rustle of the bamboo against the bowl.

How to use a whisk effectively?

Step 1: relax the bamboo

Dip the tines in warm water for a few seconds to soften them. Your whisk should take a bath before each use (it's temperamental...).

Step 2: Prepare the matcha powder

Add 1-2g of matcha powder to your bowl. Ideally, use a bowl with a smooth bottom to avoid damaging the tines of your whisk.

Step 3: Time for the big bath

Add 65ml to 75ml of hot water (70-80°C) and stir gently at first, to incorporate the tea with the water.

Step 4: Lather

Whisk vigorously in rapid "M" (like Maïdo!) or "W" motions until a fine foam is obtained. The secret: use your wrist, not your whole arm.

Why you'll love our whisk?

Material

Our matcha whisk is carved from natural bamboo selected for its flexibility and strength. Each tine is hand-carved using a unique craftsmanship. The bamboo grain gives it that authentic texture that makes all the difference to the touch.

Recommended use

Ideal for all matcha preparations: usucha (light and frothy preparation) or koicha (thick and concentrated preparation). Its traditional design with 80 fine prongs helps create that perfect foam that reveals all the matcha's aromas.

Maintenance

Our whisk requires special care to preserve its beauty and functionality. Rinse with lukewarm water after each use, air dry upright to prevent the tines from deforming. With proper care, it will last as long as possible.

First, soak the tines in warm water to soften them. Pour the matcha powder into your bowl, add a little hot water (70-80°C), then whisk rapidly in "M" or "W" motions. The secret: use your wrist, not your whole arm.

After use, simply rinse your matcha whisk (chasen) under warm running water without using soap or detergent, which could alter the taste of your tea. Gently shake it to remove excess water, then let it air dry, ideally on a whisk holder or placed on a clean cloth with the prongs facing upwards. Ensure it is completely dry before storing it in a well-ventilated area to prevent mold and extend its lifespan.

Yes, it's completely normal for your matcha whisk (chasen) to shed a few tines when you first start using it.

Bamboo whisks are handmade, and it's common for a few bristles to come loose during the first few uses. This doesn't affect the whisk's performance or compromise the quality of your matcha. Over time, your whisk will stabilize.

To minimize bristle loss, make sure to briefly soak the whisk in hot water before each use, avoid scrubbing vigorously against the bottom of the bowl, and ensure proper drying after each use.

It's natural! Bamboo can slightly age with time and use, especially if the water is hard. As long as there's no mold, it's simply a sign of a well-used and living tool.

It is not mandatory, but a stand (naoshi) helps preserve the shape of the teeth between uses. In the meantime, a simple narrow glass does the trick for drying it upright.

We do not offer this stand at the moment, but we are working on adding this product to our catalog.

Absolutely not! Bamboo is sensitive to high temperatures and harsh detergents. A simple rinse with lukewarm water is sufficient, followed by natural drying, standing upright on its stand or in a glass.

Sourced from Japan

We don't do things by halves: Daichi-san matcha comes directly from a Japanese producer in Kagoshima prefecture, without unnecessary intermediaries. We know the farmers, and we select what we ourselves would like to drink every morning.

100% Tencha Leaves

Real matcha is Tencha! These precious tea leaves are shade-grown, then slowly ground. No strange green powder here, just tradition in its purest form.

No sugar. No additives.

No hidden tricks or magic powders here. What you drink is 100% pure matcha. Nothing else. And frankly, it doesn't need anything else to shine.

Naturally rich in L-theanine

Matcha's little secret? It's that zen molecule that relaxes without making you sleepy. Concentration, calm, and clarity guaranteed. Not bad for a simple cup of tea, right?
