Description
Here is what you will find in this unique and beautiful matcha box, 100% made in Japan!
Premium organic matcha MIYUKI
Selected by the highly skilled team of Koga Cha Gyo in Yame, the leaves of premium organic matcha MIYUKI grow in Kagoshima. Hand-picked during the first harvest of the year, this ceremonial-grade has a deep emerald color and exceptional sweetness. Enjoy its savory umami and creamy aftertaste.
Chasen (matcha whisk)
A handmade chasen in natural white bamboo with 100 bristles and decorated with a black thread woven by hand. Made in Takayama (Nara prefecture) by Kubo Masaki, the 24th generation of a chasen-making family, and recognized as National Living Treasure for his skills.
Handmade whisks are more fragile than those made in a factory because the bristles are much thinner. To avoid bending the bristles and breaking the chasen, don't press the tip of the chasen against the bottom of the bowl and don't use force.
Chawan (matcha bowl)
An elegant chawan in ceramics with a painting of the Dairibina, the festival dolls representing the imperial couple, from the Miyaji Eiko kilns in Kyoto.
Whisk holder
A whisk holder is a key accessory to keep your precious chasen in perfect shape and make sure it dries properly.
Bamboo scoop
Light and elegant, this bamboo scoop will give you the exact quantity of powder you need to prepare your matcha.
