Make the most of your Matcha with the right tools: from essential Chawan bowls and bamboo Chasen whisks, to ceremonial Natsume caddies and Fukusa silk cloths – find your way of tea here now.
Whip up a bowl of Matcha in an authentic Chawan from Japan. Also known as Matchawan, these bowls are the centrepiece of the Japanese tea ceremony and are equally essential for any Matcha lover to enjoy this precious tea at home. Each Chawan is handcrafted and sourced from historic ceramic centres across Japan, showcasing a wide range of traditional shapes and regional styles.
Hand-carved from a single piece of flexible yet robust bamboo, the Chasen whisk is used to blend powdered Matcha with hot water. Chasen with 80 to 120 tines are suitable for regular, frothy Matcha tea, also known as Usucha, while those with 60 to 80 tines are used to prepare thick Koicha tea, as served during formal Japanese tea ceremonies.
Carved by hand from bamboo or wood, Chashaku are an essential tool for measuring and scooping out Matcha during the Japanese tea ceremony, as well as for everyday drinking.
Whether whipping up a bowl of tea, or mixing Matcha into baked goods, smoothies or shakes, a fine mesh Matcha Furui or sifter will remove any small lumps and help unfold the aroma for the smoothest result.
The Natsume is a ceremonial tea caddy used to store and present Matcha that is whisked into thin Usucha tea. Whether for Okeiko practice or formal tea ceremonies, discover Natsume for all seasons and occasions.
Fukusa silk cloths are used to ritually purify utensils during the Japanese matcha tea ceremony as a sign of respect to the guests and tools. Imported directly from Japan, our Fukusa are available in two weights and colours: the purple cloth is traditionally used by men and the red by women.
Traditional Tetsubin kettles for boiling water for tea, handcrafted at leading Nanbu Tekki foundries in Iwate: the centre of Japanese cast ironwork. Uncoated on the inside, the iron helps to mineralise and soften the water for a richer and sweeter brew.
