MATCHA TOOLKIT
The tools used for a real matcha ritual
Each tool has a purpose. The right tools help you measure correctly, remove clumps, protect your whisk, create better texture, and enjoy matcha the way it is meant to be prepared.
Premium matcha
The base of the ritual. Good matcha gives better color, aroma, smoothness, and taste.
Matcha bowl Chawan
Gives enough space to whisk properly and create a smooth, balanced matcha shot.
Bamboo whisk Chasen
The traditional tool for mixing matcha with air, creating a refined texture and light foam.
Whisk holder Kusenaoshi
Protects the bamboo whisk shape while it dries, helping extend its life and performance.
Bamboo scoop Chashaku
Helps measure matcha in a traditional, elegant way for a more consistent ritual.
Sifter Furui
One of the most important tools. It removes clumps and ensures a smoother, creamier result.
WATER TEMPERATURE
Use 70–80°C water — not boiling water
Water temperature is one of the biggest reasons matcha tastes smooth or bitter. Matcha is delicate, so boiling water can make it taste harsh and overly bitter.
Best temperature
Use warm water around 70–80°C. This helps protect the matcha’s color, aroma, and smooth taste.
Avoid boiling water
Boiling water can burn the delicate powder and create bitterness. Let boiled water cool slightly before mixing.
WHY SIFTING MATTERS
The step most people skip — but shouldn’t
Matcha is a very fine powder, so it naturally clumps when exposed to air, humidity, or pressure inside the tin. Sifting breaks those clumps before water touches the powder.
Without sifting
Your matcha may form small lumps, taste uneven, and become harder to whisk smoothly — especially in lattes.
With sifting
The powder becomes lighter and finer, mixes faster, creates better foam, and gives a more premium drinking experience.
BOWL STYLES
Traditional bowl or bowl with spout?
Both are correct — they simply serve different lifestyles. We offer both because matcha should feel beautiful and practical.
Traditional bowl Chawan
More authentic and timeless. Best for a calm Japanese-style ritual where the preparation itself is part of the experience.
Modern bowl with spout
Very practical for lattes. Many customers prefer it because it makes pouring into milk or ice easier and cleaner.
TRADITIONAL METHOD
How to make matcha with a bamboo whisk
This method gives the most authentic ritual experience, refined texture, and light foam. For best taste, always use 70–80°C water — not boiling water.
Measure Chashaku
Use a bamboo scoop or small spoon to measure around 1–2g matcha.
Sift Furui
Sift the matcha into your bowl to remove clumps and create a smoother texture.
Add warm water
Add water at around 70–80°C. Avoid boiling water because it can make matcha bitter and harsh.
Whisk Chasen
Whisk quickly in a W motion until the matcha becomes smooth with light foam.
AFTER WHISKING
Protect your bamboo whisk
A bamboo whisk is delicate. After use, rinse it gently and place it on a whisk holder to dry properly. The holder helps keep the whisk shape open, prevents bending, and supports longer whisk life.
Without holder
The bamboo prongs can close, bend, or dry unevenly, which affects future whisking performance.
With holder Kusenaoshi
The whisk dries in its natural shape, stays open, and performs better for your next ritual.
