Matcha Accessories

Authentic matcha bowls for the traditional preparation of matcha tea, directly imported from historic ceramic centres in Japan. All our chawan (or matchawan) bowls are handcrafted from natural clay in a variety of popular styles and shapes.

Hand-carved from a single piece of flexible yet robust bamboo, the Chasen whisk is used to blend powdered Matcha with hot water. Chasen with 80 to 120 tines are suitable for regular matcha or Usucha tea, while those with 60 to 80 tines are used to prepare thick Koicha tea, as drunk during formal ceremonies.

Carved by hand from bamboo or wood, Chashaku are an essential tool for measuring and scooping out Matcha during the Japanese tea ceremony, as well as for everyday drinking.

Whether whipping up a bowl of tea, or mixing Matcha into baked goods, smoothies or shakes, a fine mesh Matcha Furui or sifter will remove any small lumps and help unfold the aroma for the smoothest result.

Our selection of stylish yet practical tea caddies to preserve the freshest flavours of matcha for as long as possible. We offer popular classics made of cherry bark (Kabazaiku) from the artisanal village of Kakunodate, tea caddies lacquered with Urushi lacquer from the famous Gato Mikio manufactory in Yamanaka Onsen, as well as metal caddies that come from the traditional Japanese manufactories Azmaya and Kaikado.

The natsume caddy is used during the Japanese tea ceremony to store matcha before it is whisked into thin Usucha tea. Our selection of natsume ranges from everyday models perfect for Okeiko lessons, through to exquisite Urushi masterpieces that make for treasured Chadogu.

Fukusa silk cloths are used to ritually purify utensils during the Japanese matcha tea ceremony as a sign of respect to the guests and tools. Imported directly from Japan, our Fukusa are available in two weights and colours: the purple cloth is traditionally used by men and the red by women.

Traditional Tetsubin kettles for boiling water for tea, handcrafted at leading Nanbu Tekki foundries in Iwate: the centre of Japanese cast ironwork. Uncoated on the inside, the iron helps to mineralise and soften the water for a richer and sweeter brew.

Elegantly transport and present fine teas and teaware with a traditional Japanese Obon tea tray – perfect when entertaining guests.
