How to choose the right set
- Ritual vs latte: If you whisk usucha straight, prioritize bowl + bamboo whisk. For lattes, any kit above works—focus on comfort and cleanup.
- Bowl grip & size: Wider bowls make it easier to create microfoam.
- Daily durability: Choose a set you’ll leave out on the counter—visibility = habit.
What’s in a matcha set?
- Matcha powder (ceremonial grade recommended for straight whisking)
- Chasen (bamboo whisk), Chashaku (scoop), Chawan (bowl)
- Fine strainer (sifting prevents clumps)
Quick use & care
- Sift ~2 g matcha into the bowl. Add 60–70 ml water at 70–80 °C.
- Whisk in a “W” motion for ~20 sec until fine foam forms.
- Rinse chasen in warm water only; air-dry. Avoid soap/soaking. Store dry.
FAQs
Which matcha set is best for beginners?
Any of the three kits above work well; pick the bowl you’ll love to use daily. Sifting + bamboo whisk = smoother foam.
Do I need an electric frother?
It’s optional. A bamboo whisk creates finer foam and a more traditional texture.
Can I make lattes with these sets?
Yes. Whisk matcha first, then add milk (hot or iced) to keep the foam intact.
How do I clean the bowl/whisk?
Rinse immediately after use; no abrasives or soaking for bamboo.
