The Basic Matcha Kit

On your next day off, take a moment to prepare a bowl of matcha. Measure a portion of powder, and marvel at its brilliant green color. As you start to whisk, feel the texture of the whisk’s bamboo handle, and listen to the sounds of its tines swishing through the tea. Then, notice matcha’s honey-like fragrance filling the room. Take a sip, and feel its richness blossom throughout your palate. Finally, sit in the moment, and observe how refreshed and relaxed you feel.

Experiencing fulfilling moments like these is possible if you have well-designed tools. This is why we put together this set, to provide the basics for enjoying matcha at its fullest. Just add your favorite mug or matcha bowl.

The key utensils for preparing matcha.

We carefully selected each item in this kit as an essential for making delicious matcha, and we even rely on each of these tools ourselves at our Kyoto and Tokyo tearooms, using them to prepare many bowls of matcha every day.

Packaged in a beautiful box, this kit is also one of our top gift recommendations.

Horai The included matcha blend Horai is our top recommendation for those new to Ippodo. Its character is rich and smooth.

Tea strainer and Chashaku Enhance your experience by pressing matcha powder through this strainer before whisking. This removes any clumps and improve the matcha’s texture.

Chasen (Bamboo Whisk) Enjoy the beautiful fragrance that rises from the bowl when whisking matcha with a chasen bamboo whisk.

Whisk Stand The whisk stand maintains the round shape of the whisk after rinsing. After using the chasen, rinse it with water, and store it to dry on the chasen stand.

Great starter set

Great starter set Since getting this I’ve tried different matcha but Horai is my favorite flavor, it’s so smooth and not bitter at all. Highly recommend for anyone getting into matcha.

Perfect little routine

I had to make the switch to matcha after decades of coffee drinking because my anxiety was getting out of control after several cups in the morning. This little kit made the switch pleasant and wholesome and easy. It’s a routine I look forward to every day and I love the taste and feel.

Aromatic, Beautiful, Quality

Everything about this kit has been thought out. It came safely packaged, the quality of the matcha is superb. It gives off a strong matcha scent and you can tell its good quality by the color and scent.
