Details:

Matcha Hibari | 雲雀 :  Our 2023 Hibari is a superlative matcha created of shincha (first flush) tencha from the southern region of Uji, Kyoto, the ancestral home of matcha. This usucha-style matcha (thin tea) is smooth and medium bodied, with a wonderfully grounding and steady energetic presence. Fresh, delicate notes of early spring grass spill forth from this blend of Samidori, Yabukita and Ujihikari cultivars. Sourced from an artisan in Kyoto, milling exquisite matcha since the 16th century. 

Bamboo Whisk (Chasen): A traditional bamboo whisk, of winter-cured bamboo, specially crafted to whisk powdered tea.

Matcha Ladle (Chashaku): A chashaku is created from a single piece of bamboo, and used to scoop the proper proportion of matcha into a chawan, or tea bowl.

Shou Sugi Ban Matcha Bowl (Chawan): Lustrous black with an ample tea basin, the Shou Sugi Ban chawan is a superb example of modern Japanese earthenware. Clay-pitched, burnished in rich black, this chawan will bring a touch of ethereal elegance to your everyday matcha ceremony.

Matcha Sifter: Employing a fine-mesh stainless steel strainer to sift the matcha creates a finer froth. Also, because static electricity naturally creates clumping in the matcha, which will not dissolve in water, sifting will eliminate this issue.
