Matcha
Matcha is traditionally prepared one bowl at a time, and having the right tools plays an important role in this process. In Japanese tea culture, the chasen—the bamboo whisk—is particularly indispensable. It is used to whisk the fine matcha powder with warm water into a smooth, creamy tea with a light layer of foam.
The bowl and preparation also make a difference. A wide chawan gives the chasen enough room to move freely, while a fine sieve helps remove clumps from the powder before the water is added. A bamboo spoon is traditionally used to measure out the matcha.
Our matcha starter set includes the essentials you need to get started with matcha at home in an easy way: a bowl, a chasen, a chasen holder, and a bamboo spoon. We’ve also included a fine matcha sifter for an extra smooth result.
