hi, i had a question about the bamboo tea whisk. i have watched videos and all of the tea whisks seem to have some type of middle portion that spirals into a cone shape. when i first got my whisk it was like that but after a single use it basically unravelled so that them middle portion of the whisk is no longer bunched together. is this normal?

How much did you pay for it? I real one will cost a bit $20+ USD; cheap immitations will cost a fraction of that.  Try not to get tea on the thread tying the tines together -- the organic nature of the tea will corrode the thread over a short period of time.

I use a katana to stir my tea

I think I have to move to Japan. You have so many oishii things to eat. :)

@ydna2003 How hot was the water that you used? Usually chasen will open, like a flower, especially when subjected to heat. This is natural and fine, but the chasen should still have a curved shape in the ends.

Maybe I should ask some Japanese friends if they know where to buy these ingredients. They should have stores near them that sell it.

Now I just have to find the ingredient.Won't be easy here... No Japanese shops around. Maybe next time I go to Sydney.
