Frequently asked questions
What is included in the Gift Box Traditional Matcha Set?
Four pieces: chashaku (bamboo scoop), chasen (bamboo whisk), matchawan (ceramic bowl) and a chasen holder. Matcha powder is not included.
How do I prepare matcha with the set?
The Kyoto tea house Ippodo gives as a basic recipe 2 g of sifted matcha, 60 ml of water at 80 °C and 15 seconds of vigorous whisking with the chasen. Use the chashaku to measure the powder straight into the bowl.
What is the chasen holder for?
The chasen dries on the holder after rinsing and keeps its shape.
Can the set go in the dishwasher?
No. Retailers specify hand washing. Rinse the chasen with lukewarm water without detergent after use and let it air dry.
Tip from the roastery: If you drink coffee as well as matcha: from our coffee roastery in Zurich, Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight show their chocolatey, nutty side in the filter. For espresso with plenty of body we use Very Nutty. This is our recommendation, one of many.
