In thisĀ matcha sampler, you'll get the followingĀ tools and ceremonial matcha:
Chawan Tea Bowl:
The Chawan is the traditonal bowl used to both prepare and drink matcha tea. The heaviness of the bowl conveys a sense of importance and the shape of the bowl makes it easier to whisk up the matcha to create a foamy bowl of tea for you and your guest. After whisking up the matcha, you can either drink it directly out of the Chawan or you can pour it into a glass.
Chasen Tea Whisk:
The Chasen is the most important utensil for making a nice foamy bowl of matcha. This Chasen is made out of a single piece of bamboo, and each prong is delicately cut and curled to be the perfect whisking tool. If you want to make a beautifully creamy bowl of matcha at home, a Chasen is the best tool you can own
Chashaku Tea Spoon:
This tea spoon is carved out of a single piece of bamboo and it is designed to be the perfect tool for scooping matcha. It is more vertical in its design, making it perfect for scooping matcha out of a deep container like a matcha tin or a natsume.
Matcha Sampler 21 Pack:
With this sampler, you'll get to try all of the best matcha teas we've found during our travels around Japan. This matcha sampler is a great way to try a broad spectrum of green tea all at once. In this matcha sampler, you will find all sorts of different flavors, sweet, creamy, umami, vegetal and grassy. If you haven't yet found your favorite matcha, you will by the end of this tasting!
Included in the Sampler
Chanoka Silver Matcha: This matcha starts off strong with a bold savory flavor and a thick mouthfeel. It gets right to the point with these strong umami flavors that evolve over time.

Always Pesticide Free
We make sure to only source teas from reputable farmers that grow tea without the use of conventional pesticides or chemicals. We meet with the farmers in person and tour the fields and facilities. We look at the sustainability of the field, the attention to detail and quality control of the facility and of course the taste of the tea.
