Matcha Starter Kit | Ceremonial Matcha Set with Tools

What's in this matcha kit

This matcha kit holds the tea and the four tools a traditional bowl of matcha calls for. You get a 30 g tin of Tenchi Ceremonial Organic, our certified-organic matcha from the first flush in Kagoshima, with a bowl, a scoop, a whisk and a sifter, each made by hand. The bowl comes in white or black, and because it is handmade, yours may differ a little from the photos.

Four tools, one job each

The sifter breaks up the small clumps that fine powder forms in the tin. The scoop, or chashaku, measures it. The whisk, or chasen, turns powder and water into smooth, lightly foamed tea, and the bowl gives the whisk room to move. Together they make a complete setup for the traditional way, with nothing extra to learn. A 30 g tin makes about 15 bowls at 2 g each.

Who it suits

It is one of our best sellers, and a good matcha set for beginners who want to learn to whisk from the first cup. Tenchi tastes good with nothing but water, so there is no need for milk or sugar while you practice. If you would rather use a cup and an electric frother, see the Ceremonial Organic Starter Set. For your first bowl, follow our guide to making matcha at home.
