Master-Grade Matcha Whisk · Hyappondate
Hand-carved by artisan Haibin in Hangzhou · True tool for the tea ceremony
- ✓ Each prong carved from a single bamboo strand — never curled
- ✓ Handmade by artisan Haibin using traditional Japanese & Chinese techniques
- ✓ Hyappondate style (~72–80 tines) for smooth foam & stable control
- ✓ Natural mountain bamboo — no synthetic coatings, no mass production
- ✓ Ships from California · Packaged in protective tube or gift box
This master-grade chasen is handcrafted in Hangzhou, China, by bamboo artisan Haibin. Each whisk takes 5x longer to make than standard ones— because every tine is individually carved, flame-finished, and polished from a single bamboo strand.
The result? A whisk that feels soft but precise, with tips that never curl. Ideal for both usucha (thin tea) and koicha (thick tea), it produces elegant foam and steady flow.
Haibin has over 30 years of experience, bridging Song Dynasty Diancha and Japanese tea craftsmanship into one unified form. Each chasen is not just a tool, but a story of quiet mastery.
“I shape every strand with blades, flame, and patience. It’s not just a tool — it’s a rhythm you can feel in your hands.”
— Haibin, Bamboo Artisan

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this different from regular matcha whisks?
Each prong is hand-carved from a single strand of bamboo—not folded or curled. This results in a softer and more precise experience.
Can I use it for both thin and thick matcha?
Yes. The Hyappondate style is designed for both usucha and koicha preparation, offering excellent control and foam quality.
Is it machine-made?
No. Every step is done by hand by Haibin, from splitting bamboo to final shaping. No two pieces are exactly the same.
How long does it last?
With daily use and proper care, it can last 3–6 months. If used occasionally and kept dry, it may last longer.

from 51 reviewsBest matcha ever! I will order again and again. Thank you for a wonderful product. It is a great way to start my day, every day!
Very smooth not bitter ❤️ love the color too very nice for lattes
Really good Matcha 🍵
Wow, so I never write reviews but had to for this. This matcha is incredible! I bought this randomly and was kind of like “eh why not” and I was shocked how delicious it was. I just bought two more!
I’ve tried a few brands and this is the only one I can drink plain.
I whisked it into usucha. Balanced, fresh, no harsh edge.

It’s gentle and clean. Not grassy. I actually crave it.
Thank you very much for the Matcha. And ii’m still celebrating its wonderfully robust flavor. I’m new to the taste of Matcha, but I will place another order with you soon. Patrick
I tried this pre-launch matcha on its own and in a latte. Honestly, it worked well both ways. The grassy sweetness came forward with milk, but on its own it was smooth and quietly floral. It's rare to find ceremonial-grade matcha that plays well with milk—this one surprised me.
I was part of the early tasting round before launch, and my main impression is: this matcha doesn’t shout. It doesn’t try to impress with overwhelming flavor. Instead, it invites. Soft, clean, no bitterness. Easy to drink without thinking, which oddly feels like a compliment.
Tried this as part of the pre-release group. It’s definitely easy to drink, clean, and very sweet. Almost too gentle for me—I’m used to matcha with more intensity. But I can see people loving this calmness.
What stood out most during this pre-launch tasting was the freshness and subtlety. The color is a soft green-blue—not overly bright, not dull. The flavor is clean, round, and mellow. No bitterness, no flashy umami. Just calm, drinkable matcha that asks nothing from you. I liked that.
