Japanese Matcha Ceremony Kit — Ceremonial Grade, Complete Set Everything you need to whisk your first bowl of matcha — and every bowl after. This kit pairs organic ceremonial grade matcha from Kyoto with four handcrafted tools, including a chawan (matcha bowl) you choose yourself from our full collection of artisan Japanese pottery. This is chanoyu for the modern home. Prices from $187 AUD — the final price depends on which chawan you choose below, since each bowl is individually handcrafted and priced accordingly.

No two are identical: glaze, colour and texture vary slightly from piece to piece, which is part of the wabi-sabi character of authentic Japanese ceramics rather than a flaw. Browse the photos below, note the name of the one you like, then select it from the dropdown menu when you add to cart. Sizing & Care Most chawan are approximately 10.5–13cm in diameter and 6.5–8cm tall — sized for whisking, not just sipping. Hand wash only; avoid the dishwasher and prolonged soaking, which can affect the glaze over time. A meaningful gift for tea lovers, wellness enthusiasts, and anyone curious about Japanese culture. Ships to Australia & worldwide. How to Make Matcha Important: Always bring fresh water to a full boil first, then allow it to cool to the recommended temperature before brewing. Warm your bowl. Pour hot water into your bowl to warm it, then discard the water. Add matcha. Place 2 scoops (about 2g) of ceremonial matcha into the bowl. Pour hot water. Add approximately 70ml of hot water (around 70–80°C). Whisk until frothy. Whisk briskly in a quick "W" motion until a smooth, fine foam forms. Enjoy immediately. Sip, savour, and enjoy your freshly whisked matcha. Frequently Asked Questions Can I mix and match — a different chasen colour with a different bowl? Yes — the Whisk Holder colour (Ryokucha or Aozora) and the Chawan are selected independently, so any combination is available. Will my bowl look exactly like the photo? Very close, but not identical — natural variation in glaze and finish is part of the handcraft.
