This matcha ritual set includes all the essential tools used in traditional Japanese matcha preparation, thoughtfully curated to support smooth whisking, balanced flavour, and a mindful brewing experience.
Crafted with ocean-glaze ceramics and paired with classic matcha tools, each piece plays a specific role in achieving a well-textured bowl of matcha.

Why this set matters
Matcha is unique because the entire tea leaf is consumed. Using purpose-designed tools ensures:
- Even dispersion of matcha powder
- Smoother mouthfeel
- Better foam formation
- A more intentional preparation process
Each ceramic piece is individually finished, resulting in natural glaze variations that make every set unique.
Care notes
- Rinse bamboo whisk with water only (no soap)
- Dry whisk on holder after each use
- Hand wash ceramic pieces for longevity
