Our matcha gift set includes the essential tools for preparing matcha, typically a bamboo whisk, scoop and ceramic bowl. Inspired by the Japanese tea ceremony, it’s a thoughtful way to enjoy or gift a calming, traditional ritual.
Rooted in centuries of Japanese tradition, the tools in a matcha gift set are more than just utensils, they are part of a mindful ritual.
The bamboo whisk (chasen) is crafted by skilled artisans, often from a single piece of bamboo, shaped carefully to create the perfect froth. The bamboo scoop (chashaku) measures the ideal amount of matcha with intention, and the ceramic matcha bowl (chawan) is designed to enhance the texture, colour and aroma of the tea.
Used in the Japanese tea ceremony, these tools symbolise respect, presence, and the beauty of simplicity. The act of preparing matcha becomes a moment to pause and reconnect. Each element of the set is chosen not just for function, but for the experience it creates one of calm, clarity and connection.
Whether as a gift or a personal ritual, this complete matcha set offers a beautiful way to explore the rich culture of matcha. It is a thoughtful present for anyone who values wellness, tradition or simply a good cup of tea.

You can never go wrong with gifting a matcha set, it’s more than just tea. It’s an invitation to pause, breathe, and reconnect. Rooted in the Japanese tea ceremony known as chanoyu or chadō (茶道), this centuries-old ritual began with Zen monks in the 12th century who used matcha to support meditation and quiet presence. Over time, it evolved into a refined cultural practice that celebrates simplicity and intention.
Each element, from the bamboo whisk to the ceramic bowl, is carefully chosen to create a mindful moment. These tools are not just functional, they shape a calming ritual. Historically shared among monks, scholars, and samurai, this spirit of stillness and respect lives on in every bowl of matcha today.

Warm your tools
Pour some hot water (about 80°C) into your ceramic chawan to warm it and soften the whisk bristles. Whisk gently, then discard the water and dry the bowl.
Sift the matcha
Place a fine sifter over the bowl and use the bamboo scoop to add 1–2 scoops (1–2g) of matcha. Sift to remove clumps for a smooth texture.
Add hot water
Pour 100-150 ml of hot water (around 70-80°C) into the bowl. Avoid boiling water to prevent bitterness.
Whisk to foam
Whisk briskly in an “M” or “W” motion with your bamboo whisk until a light foam appears, about 15–20 seconds.
Sip and enjoy
Drink straight from the chawan, savouring each sip and the full flavour.
Not all matcha is the same. Both ceremonial grade matcha and culinary grade matcha come from the Camellia sinensis plant, but their flavour, colour, and uses differ greatly.
Ceremonial grade, like our Land of Fire Ceremonial matcha from Kyushu, Japan, is crafted from the youngest shade grown leaves and stone ground into a silky emerald green powder with natural sweetness and rich umami, perfect for traditional whisking in a chawan with a bamboo whisk.
Culinary grade, made from older leaves, has a stronger and slightly bitter profile that works beautifully in matcha lattes, smoothies, and baking.
At Teapro we only stock ceremonial grade matcha because it is the highest quality matcha available. It is ideal for both beginners and experts since its smooth, naturally sweet flavor will not become bitter even if preparation isn’t perfect. This ensures you enjoy the best taste, vibrant color, and full health benefits with every cup.
Matcha’s journey from ancient Japanese tea ceremonies to a global wellness trend is remarkable. Originally used by Zen monks in chanoyu or chadō, matcha supported meditation and focus. Today, ceremonial grade matcha is loved worldwide for its rich umami flavor, antioxidants, and health benefits.
As more people seek mindful, healthy lifestyles, matcha offers a natural caffeine boost without the jitters of coffee. It’s enjoyed traditionally with tools like the chasen and chashaku, and in modern forms like lattes and smoothies.
Preparing matcha remains a calming ritual that invites presence amid busy lives. Its blend of cultural heritage, health perks, and versatile flavors has made matcha a beloved daily practice—and a meaningful gift for anyone seeking wellness and mindfulness.
The bamboo whisk, or chasen, is an essential part of a matcha set. It’s used to blend the matcha powder smoothly into water, creating a frothy, velvety texture. Unlike metal tools, the bamboo whisk preserves the delicate flavour and avoids a metallic aftertaste. It’s also part of the traditional Japanese tea ceremony, making your matcha moment feel more authentic and calming.
If you enjoy matcha regularly, investing in a proper matcha set is worth it. The tools ensure better mixing and texture, and using them enhances the whole experience. It also allows you to fully embrace the mindful ritual of preparing matcha.
Absolutely. A matcha whisk (chasen) helps create a smoother, frothier cup and better blends the powder, no clumps, no bitterness. Investing in a full matcha set elevates both the taste and the mindfulness of your tea break.
Gen Z loves functional wellness products, and matcha ticks all the boxes, focus, calm, aesthetics, and ritual. A matcha kit also fits their love of self-care and aesthetic content, making it both Instagram-worthy and good for the brain.
Sifting the matcha powder before whisking helps avoid clumps and ensures a smooth, creamy texture. A good matcha kit usually comes with a strainer or recommends one for the best possible experience.
You don’t strictly need a bamboo scoop to make matcha, but it’s highly recommended. The scoop (called a chashaku) helps measure the right amount of powder while maintaining the fine texture of the matcha. It’s also easier to handle than metal spoons and adds a traditional touch to your tea ritual. If you want smoother matcha and a more authentic experience, a bamboo scoop is worth using.
The best matcha kit for beginners includes high quality ceremonial matcha, a bamboo whisk, a scoop, and a bowl. Look for kits that come with simple instructions and a fine mesh strainer. A complete set makes it easy to get started without needing extra tools.
