Artcome Matcha Ceremony Kit for Japanese Tea Ceremony (Cyan)

The Artistic Essence of Matcha

Matcha, a green tea powder, has been deeply ingrained in the artistic traditions of Japan for over 500 years. This ancient practice encompasses disciplines such as the tea ceremony, calligraphy, painting, flower arranging, incense rituals, and Zen. Originating in the Tang Dynasty, matcha was later introduced to Japan by Zen masters during the Song Dynasty, where it became an integral part of the tea ceremony.

The traditional preparation of matcha involves whisking the powdered tea with hot water until a frothy consistency is achieved, using a special bamboo whisk. This meticulous process has been carried on for centuries, with the bamboo whisk (chasen) remaining an essential tool in the tea ceremony.

Crafted from high-quality bamboo, our matcha tools uphold this longstanding tradition. Bamboo, being harder than maple wood yet remarkably lightweight, makes it an ideal material for these specialized utensils. The bamboo scoop serves as a crucial component, allowing for the precise measurement of powdered tea into the bowl.

Once the matcha powder is added, the boiling water is poured in, and the whisk is used to create a fine, dense foam, ensuring the authentic flavor of matcha is fully realized. After enjoying the tea, the whisk is cleaned and placed in the whisk holder, preserving its delicate bristles and prolonging its lifespan.

The matcha bowl, designed with a pouring spout, allows for a smooth and controlled flow of the tea, bidding farewell to messy pouring and enabling the creation of the perfect cup of matcha. The bamboo whisk, crafted through a meticulous four-step process, features fine bristles that generate a silky, frothy texture, ensuring the tea is thoroughly mixed and aerated for a balanced and delightful flavor.

In the Japanese tea ceremony, the whisk holder serves the purpose of storing and preserving the bamboo whisk when not in use, maintaining the shape and integrity of the delicate bristles. This attention to detail and respect for tea utensils reflects the ceremony's reverence for the art of tea preparation.

Our matcha set, constructed entirely of natural bamboo, is the perfect choice for those seeking to experience the authentic Japanese tea ceremony. The carefully designed matcha bowls with pouring spouts allow for easy, mess-free sharing of this delightful beverage with family and friends. Each set is beautifully handcrafted, making it an ideal gift for those who appreciate the artistic essence of matcha.
