Matcha: Different Whisk Sizes?

[brad4419]

Are there different sized whisks available? Im curious because I have a wide teacup thats about 2.75in high and 4in wide that I want to use as a chawan. I see chawan for sale around that are about these diminsions so Im guessing they have whisks that will work but Im not familier with them at all.

There are a few different sizes here: http://www.hankooktea.com/tea-ware/

Thanks for the link Ed, the little 100ct whisk looks like the right size. Have you bought from this place before or did you find it in a search?

maybe I will throw on some tea and give it a try

Hankook, is a very reputable seller. No worries.

I've never ordered, but, as Victoria says, they have a good reputation around here.

Never ordered chasen from them, but have gotten tea and teawares from them, I would certainly trust them.

I met many of them at the World Tea Expo, great folks.

Thanks everyone. Im going to order the chasen soon and maybe give there tea a try as well.

I e-mailed them and received a quick response saying

"100ct tea whisk is 100% bamboo, and its largest width -the tip- is 2.4 inches.

If your chawan is very small, we recommend the ‘sambo’ tea whisk http://www.hankooktea.com/chasen-tea-whisk-sambo.html which is 1.5 inches at is tip.
Sambo tea whisk is also 100% bamboo (black bamboo) product. "

The Small Sambo sounds perfect for my small teacup/chawan. Very nice looking too

I agree, looks nice! I think you will be happy.
