Make it thick and enjoy the lustrous whorls and creamy -- yet light! -- texture, mouthfeel, and drawn-out finish.  Matcha Tea Tool Kit - All the tools (frother, sieve, and scoop) you'll need to make a perfect cup of matcha in one kit. Jizo art linen tea towel -tool bundle comes beautifully wrapped in our very own jizo towel (it's hard not to feel joy when it's hanging in your kitchen), a thirsty linen tea towel that gets softer with each use  Slate tumbler - Simple stoneware tumbler perfectly shaped for making matcha   This collection ships to US and Canada addresses only.

Brilliant Blend Kamakura matcha that's so smooth, zero bitterness ....  Includes the Agari toolkit: a wide scoop (once you use it, it's hard to go back to the skinny ones), our custom frother, and the Komakai hammered sieve, all wrapped in a katagami-themed napkin. 

This heavenly set includes: 100g of Gyokuro, a uniquely Japanese tea, harvested by hand and, like matcha, grown under black netting for about three weeks prior to harvest. This "babying" treatment of shading the delicate leaves produces potent umami -- it's very dashi-like, and there is nothing quite like it. Ellipses, A classic teapot from the Tokoname region of Aichi Prefecture and its 1,000-year history. Elegant yet sturdier than it looks. Makes the preparation and serving of gyokuro very special.  Noir and Pearly Gray cups - Made in the Mino-style of beautiful yet practical ceramics, in the small town of Taji, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. These two-toned cups are glazed on top only; the lower part is the raw earth-toned clay, giving them a soft and inviting touch. This set ships to US and Canada only;
