matcha green tea powder
authentic ceremonial matcha from japan
Indulge in the sublime essence of Japanese tea with our Land of Fire Ceremonial Grade Matcha Green Tea.
This exquisite powder comes from the volcanic soils of Kyushu – Japan’s southernmost island – where centuries of geothermal activity nurture tea plants in lush, mineral-laced earth.
Harvested in early spring and carefully shaded to heighten sweetness and a vibrant emerald hue, every leaf is then stone-ground into a velvety-smooth powder that captures nature’s purest umami.
a ritual of calm and connection
Rooted in centuries of Japanese tradition, the matcha tea ceremony (茶道, sadō or chadō) is far more than just a way to prepare tea – it’s a meditative practice that celebrates simplicity, mindfulness, and presence. Historically performed in quiet, deliberate rituals, it embodies values like harmony (wa), respect (kei), purity (sei), and tranquility (jaku).
In today’s fast-paced world, this ritual holds even deeper relevance. Preparing matcha becomes a moment to pause – a quiet rebellion against chaos. It’s a chance to disconnect from distractions, reconnect with yourself, and savour something real. Whether performed alone or shared with others, the modern matcha ritual offers a meaningful daily practice of intention, beauty, and calm.
why you need a traditional matcha set
A traditional matcha kit isn’t just about aesthetics – it’s about enhancing the quality, taste, and authenticity of your matcha experience. Each tool in the set serves a specific purpose, refined over centuries to bring out the best in ceremonial-grade matcha.
The bamboo whisk (chasen) creates the ideal frothy texture, releasing the tea’s full flavour and aroma. The matcha bowl (chawan) is shaped to make whisking effortless and enjoyable. The bamboo scoop (chashaku) ensures precise measuring. Together, they elevate matcha from a drink to a daily ritual.
Using the right tools is key to achieving the smooth, vibrant, umami-rich cup that matcha is known for. Without them, the result is often clumpy, bitter, and disappointing. If you’re serious about quality – or simply want to do it the way it’s meant to be done – a traditional matcha set is a must.
what should ceremonial matcha taste like
and what do you pair it with?
Ceremonial matcha has a rich, complex flavour that’s worlds apart from regular green tea. Expect a smooth, velvety texture with deep umami notes, a subtle natural sweetness, and a gentle astringency that’s balanced rather than harsh. It’s fresh, grassy, and almost creamy – the kind of flavour that lingers softly and evolves with each sip.
Because of its delicate and nuanced taste, ceremonial matcha is traditionally enjoyed on its own, without milk or sweeteners. This allows its purity and character to shine.
That said, you can pair it thoughtfully. Light Japanese sweets (wagashi) are often served during tea ceremonies to complement the matcha’s umami depth. In a modern setting, consider pairing it with:
1. Mild-flavoured pastries (like shortbread or sponge cake)
2. Dark chocolate with low sugar
3. Lightly sweet mochi or rice-based treats
4. Simple fruit like pear or berries
Avoid anything too bold, rich, or overly sweet – it can overpower the tea’s subtleties.
how to use a traditional matcha set
Your Step-by-Step Ritual
Making matcha with a traditional set is simple, calming, and rewarding. Here’s how to do it:
1. Sift 1–2 scoops (about 1g) of matcha powder into your matcha bowl using a fine mesh sieve. This removes clumps and ensures a smooth brew.
2 Add around 100-150ml of hot water (ideally 70–80°C, not boiling).
3. Whisk briskly in a “W” or zigzag motion using your bamboo chasen. Continue until a thick layer of froth forms on the surface.
4. Sip and savour. Drink your matcha straight from the bowl, ideally in a quiet moment of reflection.
With practice, this process becomes a soothing ritual – one that transforms matcha from a health drink into a grounding, daily experience.
Matcha Set FAQs
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.
