Matchæologist kit with MEIKO matcha

Matchæologist’s Matcha Tea Infusion Kit has a modern, contemporary style and combines the finest handmade items with Meiko’s handcrafted matcha, perfect for your daily ritual. Matchæologist’s Matcha infusion kit combines high quality artisanal Matcha with a carefully selected assortment of handmade handcrafted items designed to balance traditional ceremonial values with contemporary functionality. The kit contains Meiko handcrafted matcha, a glass Chawan (hand-blown double-walled glass bowl), a Chasen (bamboo Matcha whisk), and a bamboo Chashaku (Matcha measuring cup), everything you need to participate in an ancient ceremony in modern style.

Each chawan is delicately hand-blown by master glassblowers from a world-famous glassblowing village. It is made of high-quality, heat-resistant borosilicate glass, which can retain heat more effectively while allowing the magnificent color of the contents inside to shine through as you admire your cup of Matcha. The chasen whip is delicately handmade from a single piece of winter-hardened bamboo using a highly acclaimed technique known as “finger art,” now practiced by only a few select artisan guilds. The length of the chasen is optimized for a comfortable grip, and the number of prongs is carefully chosen by Matcha sommeliers to allow for both Usucha and Koicha preparation methods. Carved from a piece of golden bamboo to a smooth and delicate curve, the indispensable chashaku is prized for its beauty and functionality. Its elegant, curved shape is specially designed to contain and gracefully distribute the fine Matcha powder.
