A matcha whisk, also called a chasen, is a special tool used to make matcha, a finely ground green tea. It is a thin, curved stick with a round head on one end that is used to dissolve the matcha powder in hot water.
The matcha whisk makes it possible to dissolve the tea quickly and easily, without lumps forming. This gives the tea a smoother, creamier and more pleasant taste.
There are different types of matcha whisk available, made of different materials such as bamboo, wood and metal. Bamboo is a popular choice because it is lightweight, durable and has a natural look. Wooden whisks are often cheaper, but less durable than bamboo. Metal whisks are sturdy and durable, but can overheat quickly and feel cold in the hand.

Did you know that tea can also be wonderfully combined with savory foods?
I put it to the test with a delicious piece of old Cantal cheese, brought from the beautiful Auvergne in France. Cantal cheese has a strong taste. Spicy, slightly salty and with full tones in which a creamy, almost vanilla-like hint can be detected. Curious how it tastes in combination with an Oolong from Tanzania?
I know, the real wine purists will find what I'm about to describe a sacrilege... Chardonnay with a purple hue.

Last week one of our nicest customers, Chloe, came by for a pleasant conversation at our tea table.
Chloe started a podcast last year where she interviews people who play a role in her life. Today it was my turn and I was allowed to elaborate for more than half an hour about one of my great passions ... tea. Follow our conversation on Spotify!
I think every parent encounters this at some point. Isn't there a better alternative to lemonade or fruit juice for your kids? Even the healthy drinks are often still full of sugars and artificial additives. Tasty, but not really healthy. Offering only water is not always an option either. As a mother of two young daughters, I was always faced with this dilemma. Fortunately, as the owner of a tea shop, the solution was close at hand!
