A
matcha set is a traditional Japanese tea set used for preparing and enjoying matcha, powdered green tea. It typically includes a bowl (chawan), a bamboo whisk (chasen), a bamboo scoop (chashaku), and a tea sifter. The bowl is where the matcha is mixed with hot water, and the whisk is used to froth it into a smooth, frothy consistency. The scoop helps measure the correct amount of matcha powder, while the sifter ensures the powder is fine and clump-free before whisking. Some sets may also include a small dish for holding the whisk or a cloth for wiping. A matcha set is not only functional but also an art form, often made with exquisite craftsmanship, perfect for tea ceremonies or personal enjoyment.
