"Bamboo whisks are handmade, one by one, which can make them expensive,"
"The bamboo whisk is effective in whisking matcha so that it can create a smooth microfoam with tiny, even bubbles,"
"There are three variations of whisks: 80, 100, and 120 prongs,"
"There is a wide spectrum of costs with different bamboo matcha whisks, but you can expect to pay around $20 on the low end and all the way up to $80 or more on the higher end."
Matcha preparation benefits from a traditional bamboo chasen that whisks powdered green tea into a smooth, microfoamed froth with tiny, even bubbles. Bamboo whisks outperform metal or other methods at creating this fine froth texture. Bamboo whisks are handmade individually, which raises their cost. Whisk variations commonly include 80, 100, and 120 prongs; more prongs yield finer froth and higher prices. Prices range roughly from $20 at the low end to $80 or more for higher-end whisks. Investing in a quality bamboo whisk improves froth texture and overall matcha quality.
