Maiko Matcha Starter Set: Shoshin

Matcha “Kyo Mukashi” 30g


This is a high quality Matcha commonly used in Japanese tea ceremonies (cha-no-yu). It is a classic, thin-style Matcha (Usucha), high in antioxidants and very popular with our customers. The tea is rich with an intense, green colour and sweet, aromatic aftertaste. It comes in a 30 g (about 1.05 oz) hermetically, double-sealed tin.

Banko-Yaki Matcha Bowl


Banko-yaki is famous for its use of purple clay.
Banko started about 300 years ago in Yokkaichi City, Mie Prefecture.
The kiln that created this line of pottery hoped that their products would last forever, and stamped the letters 萬古不易 (banko fueki: never changing, everlasting) onto their vessels.

Initially, Banko used white or yellow clay; however, these types are now used off, and the clay presently used is 紫泥 (shidei: purple clay).

Nakata Kizo, whisk maker and bamboo craftsman


Kizo Nakata was born in 1940 in Takayama, Ikoma, Nara Prefecture.

Though he was the son of a rice farmer, at the age of 14, he was sent to acquire skillful hands by learning to make whisks as an apprentice. After 6 years of study, he continued to learn various techniques before becoming independent at the age of 25.

In 1975, he founded the Kizo Nakata company, which presently produces about half of Japan’s whisks.

About your chasen:
A bamboo whisk is a very delicate tea utensil that might have to be replaced when the tines wear off or break.
When left moist, it might also produce mold. Please replace your whisk if you detect mold on it or if several tines are broken.
About your chashaku:
A bamboo scoop is a very delicate Matcha tea utensil.
Please do not use it with force or bend it unduly, as it might break. Always keep it clean and dry.
Please replace it if you detect any traces of mold.
