Matcha Tea Set

In Japan, matcha tea is served in elaborate ceremonies involving a particular order of events, movements, and posture. Adhering to the traditional methods, maintaining silence during the preparation of the tea, and engaging in polite conversation while drinking shows gratitude for the host's hospitality, creates a bond of mutual respect between the guest and host, and honors the surrounding environment by promoting an aura of Zen.

This tea set contains everything a host needs to bring the tradition into a contemporary home: a chashaku to scoop matcha powder into the mixing bowl, A.K.A. the chawan, a kettle for hot water, a bamboo chasen to whisk the matcha powder and water together, and two cups for serving. These components are arranged on a bamboo mat evocative of the tatami flooring of a traditional tea house, which lays on a small platform elevated from the tabletop.
