Japanese teaware for Matcha

When it comes to matcha or powdered tea, you need a few more japanese tea accessories like the chasen, chashaku, chawan and maybe even a whisk holder.

  • Chasen

    The bamboo whisk is the one of most famous japanese green tea accessories. This whisk is made out of a single piece of bamboo, and even though it has been used for hundreds of years in the tea ceremony, still nothing can compare to it when it comes to whisking up beautiful foamy bowls of matcha.

  • Chashaku

    This bamboo tea spoon is one of the least talked about Japanese green tea accessories, but it is important nonetheless. This spoon has a more vertical design, which makes it easier to scoop out of cylindrical containers like the matcha tin as well as the tea caddy or natsume.

  • Chawan

    The Chawan is a simple yet effective piece of Japanese teaware. This clay bowl is designed to provide the best space for preparing matcha tea. The first thing you’ll notice is the more cylindrical design. The provides more space towards the bottom for whisking, but also has steeper sides to prevent the tea from spilling.

  • japanese tea accessory matcha holder

    Whisk holder

    The whisk holder is one of the Japanese tea set accessories that is not strictly necessary. It is nice to help maintain the shape of your tea whisk when you are not using it. After you are done making your bowl of matcha tea, simply whisk off your matcha whisk and place it on the whisk holder. This will keep the bristles far apart, which is a more optimal shape for matcha whisking.
