The Ritual Set

What's in The Ritual Set

The Ritual Set contains three pieces — the minimum correct setup for traditional matcha preparation at home:

• Bamboo Matcha Whisk (Chasen) — 100 prongs, handmade. The tool that most determines how your matcha turns out. The fine prongs emulsify the powder into water, producing the smooth froth and clean texture that no spoon or milk frother can replicate.
• Bamboo Scoop (Chashaku) — the traditional measuring tool. One level scoop per serving keeps the ratio consistent and the flavour predictable, without scales or guesswork.
• Ceremonial Grade Matcha — 30g. Shade-grown, stone-ground, with an umami that holds up whether you drink it plain or in a latte: deep natural sweetness, rich umami, a silky texture, and a long clean finish.

Why Ceremonial Grade?

Ceremonial Grade Matcha is our most popular grade — the one most people reach for when they want the full matcha experience, whether that's whisked plain with warm water or poured into a latte. Its umami holds up either way, with none of the bitterness lower grades carry.

The Ritual Set is built around the traditional method specifically: whisk, scoop, and matcha, nothing else needed. It's the most direct way to taste what ceremonial grade actually means — prepared simply, on its own terms, the way the ritual was designed around.

Who The Ritual Set Is For

The Ritual Set works well in two situations:

• Starting properly — for someone ready to go beyond supermarket matcha or café lattes and make it well at home, with the right grade and the right tools from the first cup
• As a gift — the combination of powder and tools takes someone directly into the experience, rather than leaving them to work out what they need separately

How to Prepare Your First Bowl

1. Measure approximately 2g of Ceremonial Grade Matcha into a bowl using the bamboo scoop
2. Add 70–80ml of water at 70–80°C — not boiling
3. Whisk in a brisk W or M motion for 20–30 seconds, keeping the chasen near the surface
4. When a fine, even froth covers the surface — drink

For a matcha latte, whisk the matcha with 2–3 tablespoons of warm water first, then add warm or cold milk of your choice.
