About Essential Collection
Everything you need to enter straight into matcha bliss.
Here's what's included:
30g jar of the umami-filled matcha Blend 94
Custom designed powerful frother
Handcrafted purple bamboo scoop
Stainless sieve
Soft cotton tea towel
Exclusive Slate tumbler
In detail:
* 30g jar of Blend 94 -- this matcha is incredible. Smooth, vibrant, zero bitterness or astringency. Naturally and subtly sweet, with all the health properties you expect from shade-grown, first-harvest baby tencha leaves, freshly ground to an extremely fine powder. ($49 value)
* All the tools you need -- a custom ultra-powerful handheld frothing wand, a fine sieve that fits perfectly over the Slate tumbler (see below), and a traditional matcha scoop made from purple bamboo, which measures out the matcha and perfectly pushes it through the sieve. The whole bundle comes beautifully wrapped in a 100% ring spun cotton towel that gets softer with each use. ($29 value)
* Slate tumbler -- we designed these beauties to make the perfect tumbler of matcha with the toolkit described above. A true pleasure to hold in the hand, thanks to its "grippy" and textured exteriors (think slate board or even chalkboard). Interior has a smooth glaze for easy cleanup. Modern, robust, and ideal for matcha. ($29 value)
Total value is $107.

About Stagg EKG Kettle
To fully enjoy your hyperpremium matcha experience, it's really important to get the water temperature right; you should never use water hotter than 170F, let alone boiling water -- the ideal range for matcha is between 155F (68C) and 170F (77C);
The Stagg EKG kettle from Fellow is your perfect tool for this: You can quickly and easily set the water temperature to the exact degree desired, and within moments your water is ready. The kettle feels good in the hand, features an attractive, modern, minimalist design, and the precision pour spout and counterbalanced-handle make it a pleasure to use. Looks fantastic on the countertop.
We love this kettle so much it's the one we use to brew matcha at Breakaway HQ!
Main Features:
Variable Temperature Control – By turning the knob, you select your desired temperature ranging from 135°F to 212°F, and Stagg EKG does the rest. No more guessing degrees.
LCD Screen – See the temp. Be the temp. A discreet, black LCD screen indicates the desired “Set Temperature” and the “Real Time Temperature” with an illuminating element to show the heating progress.
Hold Option – When the toggle on the back is switched to HOLD mode, the Stagg EKG will maintain your desired temperature in either Fahrenheit or Celsius for 60 minutes. You know, for when you overestimate your ability to run two miles. When the toggle is not in HOLD mode, the kettle will go to sleep after reaching the set temperature.
Brew Stopwatch – After your water has heated, use EKG’s built in Brew Stopwatch to time your extraction.
More Cool Features:
- Precision pour spout and counterbalanced-handle - Celsius/Fahrenheit option- 0.9 liter capacity- Small, minimalist base
