Chasen (whisk) made of purple bamboo, 100 prongs. 10.5cm length.
Chashaku (scoop) made of purple bamboo. 18.5cm length.

This matcha is made from first-harvest Tencha tea leaves grown in Uji, Kyoto — renowned for producing the highest grade of matcha in Japan. The leaves are shade grown for a month before the youngest and greenest first flush leaves are harvested by hand. After harvest, the leaves are steamed, dried, de-stemmed and slowly ground on a traditional stone mill. This careful process preserves the tea’s vibrant color, rich flavor, and full nutritional value — offering a smooth, umami-rich cup.

As practitioners of chadō (Japanese tea ceremony), we have handpicked the finest tea for our collection — those that truly honor the spirit of an unforgettable tea ceremony.

The Chasen and Chashaku are meticulously handcrafted from rare purple bamboo in Anji, China. Dark brown in colour and more resilient than typical white bamboo, purple bamboo is prized for its elegance, durability, and unique character.

The chasen features 100 finely crafted prongs, shaped by senior artisans to be thin and flexible, allowing you to whisk a smooth, frothy bowl of matcha with ease. The chashaku is designed to match in both color and refined aesthetic, creating a cohesive, elegant set for your tea ritual.
