The chasen is used to mix matcha powder with hot water, dissolve clumps, and create a fine, frothy foam for traditional Japanese matcha tea.
With regular use and proper care, a whisk typically lasts several months. Heavy daily use will naturally shorten its lifespan as the prongs gradually open and soften.
Soaking in warm water helps the prongs soften, unfurl and become more flexible, reducing the risk of breakage and improving the quality of the foam.
