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 Tanimura Bamboo Matcha Whisk
So many of you have asked us to source a good traditional whisk.
Mr. Tanimura is one of a handful of 20+ generations of traditional craftspeople based in Takayama, Nara Prefecture, and his work is gorgeous.
If you're looking for a very high-quality traditional whisk, you found it.
Light vs. dark is purely an aesthetic preference. They're a delight to hold and use, and they exude their beauty when not in use.
Roughly 66 tines, hand-carved in the "shin" style using properly aged white bamboo and shinchiku dark bamboo.
First use: The whisk is glued to the box using the ancient method of a paste made from rice. Grasp the handle and free it from the rice glue. Then, using a wet clot, wipe off and remaining paper from the bottom of the base
After removing the whisk, rinse it gently with hot water before you use it. Shake off and let dry.
Care: gently rinse after use with warm water and shake off excess water.
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 wash: Hand wash only and thoroughly dry. Do not soak. Not dishwasher safe.
Dimensions: 6.25" x 3"

About Jizo Tea Towel

Let the jizo spread the love and joy throughout the kitchen (and maybe throughout the rest of the house, too).

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.

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.
