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.

About Matcha Scoop
Made of quality purple bamboo. One large heaping scoop is roughly 1 gram, the perfect amount for one cup of matcha. Its shape is ideal for both measuring matcha and for gently pushing the matcha through the sieve.
Care: Hand wash only. Do not soak. Not dishwasher safe.
Approx. 7" x .35"
About Matcha Frother
Working directly in the tumbler, this stylish frother takes just 10 seconds or so to make perfectly frothed matcha. It produces a rich, creamy, thick green foam that, in addition to looking beautiful, aerates just the right amount of air into the matcha to produce optimum creamy results.
Gray satin finish.
Approx. 8.5"H x 1.3"W
About Matcha Sieve
This elegant small sieve creates a perfectly smooth matcha brew. It's necessary to sieve matcha to prevent clumping; our tea is so finely ground that static electricity in the air creates clumping, and sieving dissipates the static to give you a creamy, flawless cup of matcha.
This sieve performs better when you don't wash it -- simply brush it clean with a toothbrush or other small brush. If you must hand wash it, dry it immediately. Not dishwasher safe.
Dimensions: 6.25" x 3"
About Jizo Tea Towel
Want to brighten the mood in your kitchen? If this matcha-sipping happy jizo won't do it, we're not sure what will!
Super-absorbent, cottony-soft to the touch. Gets even softer and more absorbent with each wash. Dry your hands, your dishes, your greens/veggies. Wrap your warm bread in it.
Let the jizo spread the love and joy throughout the kitchen (and maybe throughout the rest of the house, too).
dimensions: 28.5" x 20.5" material: 100% cotton origin: India
About Komakai Hammered Sieve
Komakai hammered-finish sieve/matcha sifter. Features a double layered mesh with a fine mesh outside and super fine mesh inside. This makes the sieving a bit slower, but the resulting matcha that much smoother.

Hand wash only. Do not soak. Not dishwasher safe.
Approx. 6.25"H x .75"W
About Sabun Kubo Dark Bamboo Scoop
It doesn't get much more traditionally prized in Japan. Made in the town of Takayama, in Nara Prefecture, Japan's ground-zero for artisans making bamboo products for matcha since the 16th century, by one of Japan's most celebrated bamboo artisans.
Master craftsman Sabun Kubo made this scoop. He is the 24th generation of his family to master the art of hand sculpting matcha utensils. In 2009, some of his work was exhibited in the Louvre. Kubo's ancestors are well known in matcha circles for making matcha accessories for Japan's imperial family. The bamboo is sustainably grown and harvested without the use of agrochemicals. It comes in a beautiful Japanese handmade paper box.
It's a true joy to hold and use.
Care instructions: Wipe with a clean cloth. Avoid use of detergents. NOT dishwasher-safe.

About Matcha Travel Roll
We've designed the perfect travel kit, and it is gorgeous -- it holds your matcha, and all the tools you need to make a perfect cup on the go. These exquisite travel rolls were made for us by the ingenious Tilden Yamamoto, in Oakland, California. Tilden sources his fabrics from heritage textile mills in America, Japan, and Europe, and all his products are 100% vegan. Each item is hand cut, one at a time. He sews each piece using only an antique, single needle, straight stitch Singer sewing machine.
The quality of these rolls will blow your mind; they feel durable, without sacrificing elegance. The materials featured include: a Japan Nisshinbo Mills denim exterior, cross indigo chambray lining, indigo herringbone trim, vintage pinstripe 1/2” bias binding, and a black-fade to brass snap closure.
There are pockets for a 30g jar of tea, a frother, a scoop, a sieve, and extra pockets on the ends to hold single serves, a tea towel, or whatever you think you'll need.
Care instructions: With any luck, you'll be able to keep your travel roll clean simply by spot cleaning as needed, but just in case you manage to get it really dirty, here is how to clean it. The ideal method - to keep the integrity and character of the fabrics, wash flat, with cold water and a gentle detergent in a sink, pushing water through without scrunching it up too much, and then hang dry. Second best method - wash cold with gentle detergent in your machine, delicate cycle, and hang dry.
