If you are a regular matcha maker, you might want to invest in a futaoki, or holder. It helps the chasen (whisk) hold its shape between uses to prolong its integrity. A simple item that will help in the long run. This one is a soft blue color.
Everything you need to make A+ matcha at home. This kit comes with a beautiful deep green ceramic chawan (tea bowl), chasen (whisk) and chashaku (scoop). You can either get just the set or include some of our Ceremonial Grade Matcha at a discount. Each of these items separately add up, so get them together to save on everything!
It comes all packed safely in a compact box and basic instructions are included if you need a little guidance. *The wooden tray is not included*
Simple glass pitcher. Comes in two sizes and is ideal for when your pot is larger than your cups. It's also called a "fair cup" because everyone gets the same steep time when it's poured into a common vessel and then into cups.
Can be used with or without the strainer. Strainer comes with a stainless steel holder.
I take this everywhere! Easy to use and so handy, this is my go-to when I'm on the go. The double walled glass sides keep in heat so the outside stays cool, and the bamboo top screws on snugly to keep it from spilling.
You can make tea three ways with this set:
Keep the stainless steel strainer inside to steep and remove it when you want. Then have a batch of perfectly brewed tea.
Unscrew the bottom of the strainer and put your leaves in the vessel. Pop the top of the strainer on and let your leaves dance around all day. The strainer top will keep you from drinking the leaves and you can keep adding water all day.
Leave the strainer and leaves in all day and keep adding hot (or cold) water for a softer infusion.
For those who understand that making tea is making art. These pieces are hand crafted with genuine Jingdezhen clay and have a mineral content which reacts with the heat in the firing. The glaze cascades from turquoise to warm sand to burnt umber, and has it's own unique freckles. No two pieces are the same.
The pot holds roughly 150ml and has an incredibly smooth, long pour.
The smaller cups are squat and sturdy and can hold roughly 30ml. The taller cups can hold about 50ml.
The set includes one pot, two cups and a free glass pitcher (not pictured).
