Enjoy the art of matcha making at home with this elegant matcha starter kit, featuring Sokyū matcha, a handcrafted Takayama bamboo tea whisk, and a beautiful handcrafted Midori no Kaze tea bowl.
At the heart of this set is Sokyū matcha, prized for its refined taste, vivid green color, and reduced astringency. Carefully selected organic fertilizers contribute to its refined character, while each tea leaf is hand-picked near the base of new buds to create a richer flavor with fewer off-flavors and less astringency. Grown in the sandy soil of Joyo, Kyoto, the tea leaves develop a vivid green color and a milder, less distinctive flavor.
Traditionally handcrafted from bamboo in Nara Prefecture, the Takayama chasen is an essential utensil for whisking matcha and reflects Japan’s rich tea-making craftsmanship. Completing the set is the elegant Midori no Kaze tea bowl, handcrafted in small batches for a traditional matcha preparation experience.
Produced by Magouemon, a Kyoto tea producer with over 200 years of dedication to tea cultivation in Joyo, this set celebrates a long-standing tradition of producing beautiful, high-quality matcha. Thoughtfully presented, it makes an elegant and memorable gift for tea lovers.

Warm the tea bowl and bamboo whisk with hot water, then empty the bowl and wipe away excess moisture.
Add approximately 2 g of matcha and a small amount of hot water, stirring into a smooth paste before adding more hot water.
Whisk briskly using a W-shaped or M-shaped motion, moving your wrist back and forth rather than stirring in circles, until a fine, foamy layer forms on the surface.
Handle the bamboo whisk carefully to protect its delicate tines, and store it in a clean, dry place after use.
Store the matcha appropriately to preserve its quality.
