The Matchæologist Matcha Brewing Kit combines a signature artisanal grade matcha with a carefully selected assortment of handcrafted matcha-ware products curated and designed to balance traditional ceremonial values with contemporary functionality. The kit contains artisanal matcha, Matsu, a Cloud Glass Chawan (handblown double-walled glass bowl), a Full-Hand Chasen (full-length bamboo matcha whisk), and a Bamboo Chashaku (matcha measuring spoon), everything you need to partake in an ancient ceremony in modern style.
Each glass chawan is delicately hand-blown by the master glassblowers from a world-renowned glass-blowing village. It is made with high-quality, heat-resistant borosilicate glass, which can retain heat more effectively while allowing the beautiful colour of the content inside to shine through as you admire your perfectly brewed cup of matcha. The chasen whisk is delicately handcrafted from a single piece of winter-hardened bamboo using a highly-acclaimed technique known as “fingertip art,” now practiced by only a selected few guilds of artisans. The length of the chasen is optimised for comfortable grip, and the number of prongs is carefully chosen by matcha sommeliers to allow for both usucha and koicha methods of preparation. Carved from a piece of golden bamboo to a smooth, gentle bend, the indispensable chashaku is appreciated for its beauty and function. Its elegantly curved shape is specially designed to gracefully hold and dispense the fine powder of matcha.
