The composition of a matcha kit may vary, but in this box we've included everything you might need to make a ceremonial matcha or matcha latte for less than buying the tools separately. The set includes:

1. Matcha tea: our most popular Ichigo Ichie 30g ceremonial matcha from stone-milled spring tencha. Finely ground in stone mills, they have a great aroma and creamy umami taste.

2. Tea Bowl: A wide, shallow bowl specially designed for whisking and drinking matcha.

3. Matcha strainer: Used to strain matcha before pouring water over it to break up lumps.

4. Bamboo scoop: A scoop used to measure the appropriate amount of matcha powder for each serving. One scoop is approximately 1g of matcha.

5. Bamboo whisk: A whisk with fine bristles that has been used to whisk matcha powder into a frothy and smooth consistency for 600 years.

6. Matcha holder: a ceramic holder that helps to maintain the correct shape of the teeth of the whisk.

When using a matcha kit, it is important to follow the recommended matcha preparation steps to achieve the best taste and texture. Matcha is known for its bright green color, rich umami flavor and creamy foam when properly whipped. It has become a popular choice among tea enthusiasts due to its unique flavor and meditative brewing process. With this kit, you will make a ceremonial matcha using 2g of our Ichigo Ichie matcha and 80-100ml of 75 degree water. To prepare a matcha latte, you will need 2g of matcha, which you will need to dissolve in 25ml of 75-degree water and pour about 220ml of your chosen milk on top.
