What’s Inside:
Kiwami Single Cultivar Matcha - 30g
Our highest grade of matcha, the word Kiwami translates to “ultimate” or “extreme.” Displaying a balanced umami flavor, Kiwami presents tasting notes of florals, honey, and cream, a refreshing fragrance, and a hint of natural sweetness. (It’s also the best matcha we’ve ever tasted.)
An authentic, traditional tool to prepare matcha, bamboo whisks have been around for thousands of years. They are used during traditional Japanese tea ceremonies. Our whisks are hand-carved and shaped directly out of bamboo. Because of this, there is a slight, natural variation in size and shape.
This minimally designed, two-part tea strainer (chakoshi) has a fine mesh body, ideal for sifting clump-free matcha. The separate receiving dish can be used as a vessel to hold sifted matcha and as a stand for the strainer. Made of high-quality stainless steel, this tea strainer was crafted in Tsubame, a city known for its abundance of mineral resources and production of tableware and metal houseware.
Elegant and minimal, this gold measuring scoop is made from high-quality stainless steel to prevent rust and maintain a beautiful luster. This one-teaspoon scoop measures the ideal portion of matcha every time. Our Gold Matcha Scoop is made in Tsubame, a city known for its abundance of mineral resources and production of tableware and metal houseware.
This meticulously crafted whisking bowl (chawan) combines modern aesthetics with practical functionality, enhancing the tactile ritual of preparing and enjoying matcha. The artist, Mica Spicka, has thoughtfully folded the bowl's walls inward, creating a distinctive silhouette that contours comfortably in the hand. The carefully designed spout and deep footed base ensure effortless pouring. Made from finely ground manganese stoneware, its exterior boasts a rich organic color and finely textured surface. Each bowl is made entirely by the hand of the artist in NYC and is one of a kind.
This whisk stand is a vital component of your matcha ritual—it will prolong the lifespan of your traditional bamboo whisk—and this Black Ceramic Whisk Stand looks chic on any countertop. We recommend that you store your bamboo whisk on the whisk holder directly after using and cleaning.

MATCHA CONTAINS
POWERFUL ANTIOXIDANTS
Matcha is an antioxidant powerhouse. On the ORAC scale (oxygen radical absorbance capacity – a measure of the antioxidant capacity of food), it surpasses all other antioxidant-rich foods including blueberries, pomegranates, and dark chocolate.
The antioxidants in matcha are made up of 60% catechin polyphenols – the most potent antioxidant. Catechins offer protection against many kinds of cancer, helping to prevent heart disease, reduce cholesterol, and slow the process of aging. The most important and abundant polyphenol in matcha is EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) – the same polyphenol found in all green teas.
MATCHA PROVIDES
SUSTAINED ENERGY & FOCUS
L-Theanine, an amino acid found in matcha, combines with caffeine to create increased focused and sustained energy throughout the day. L-Theanine has been hailed for relaxing the brain, muscles, and blood vessels. It can help lower blood pressure, enhance mood and promotes a sense of calmness by relaxing alpha waves in the brain (associated with a feeling of happiness and alertness) and increasing dopamine production – two of the brain’s ‘feel good’ chemicals. This amino acid is the secret ingredient that leaves you feeling energetic and focused yet calm all day long.
MATCHA IS
CLEANSING & DETOXIFYING
Matcha is five times higher in chlorophyll than regular green tea. The primary reason chlorophyll is considered a superfood is because of its strong antioxidant and anticancer effects. Chlorophyll benefits the immune system because it’s able to form tight molecular bonds with certain chemicals that contribute to oxidative damage and diseases like cancer or liver disease. Chlorophyll can help give you clear skin, protect your blood and heart, and also help prevent joint inflammation.
