Frequently Asked Questions
What are the 6 pieces included in this matcha set?
The set includes: 1 bamboo matcha whisk (chasen), 1 ceramic whisk holder, 1 ceramic matcha bowl with pouring spout, 1 round bamboo scoop, 1 flat bamboo scoop (chashaku), and 1 stainless steel sieve. Everything needed to prepare and serve matcha from scratch is included.
Is this set suitable for someone who has never made matcha before?
Yes. The set includes every tool needed to prepare matcha from start to finish — the sieve for sifting, the scoop for measuring, the bowl for whisking, and the whisk for mixing. No prior experience is needed. The ceramic whisk holder also helps beginners maintain the whisk correctly between uses, which extends its lifespan significantly.
How do I clean and care for the bamboo whisk?
Rinse the bamboo whisk under warm water immediately after each use to remove matcha residue. Do not use soap on the whisk, do not soak it in water, and do not place it in the dishwasher. After rinsing, place the whisk tines-down on the ceramic holder to dry in its natural rounded shape. Never store the whisk flat or inside a closed container while still damp.
What is the ceramic whisk holder for?
The ceramic whisk holder (kusenaoshi) is designed to store the bamboo whisk between uses. Placing the whisk tines-down on the holder allows it to dry evenly while maintaining its domed shape. Without a holder, the tines can bend out of shape during storage, which reduces the whisk’s effectiveness and shortens its lifespan. The holder also keeps the whisk upright and dry, helping to prevent mould.
Does the colour choice affect the pieces in the set?
The colour option (White, Blue, or Green) refers to the finish of the ceramic matcha bowl and whisk holder. All three colour options include the same 6 pieces with the same dimensions and materials. The bamboo whisk, bamboo scoops, and stainless steel sieve are the same across all colour variants.
What temperature of water should I use for making matcha?
Use water at around 70–80°C (160–175°F) — not boiling water. Water that is too hot can make matcha taste bitter and may damage the delicate bamboo tines of the whisk over time. If you do not have a temperature-controlled kettle, allow freshly boiled water to cool for 3–5 minutes before pouring it over the matcha powder.
