Item No. 40115.1
The classic among the Matcha whisks (Chasen) in size 80.
The handcrafted bamboo Matcha whisks are essential for creating the fine foam-top on your Matcha and making sure the powder dissolves without leaving lumps or a grainy texture.
The finer the prongs of the whisk (indicated by a larger size) the better the results.
For the easy preparation at home we recommend to first add only a small amount of water to the Matcha Powder and use the whisk to blend it to a smooth paste. Then add the rest of the water and whisk it up painting an M with the whisk with quick movements from the wrist.
Matcha whisks are made from bamboo-sticks that are cut into fine prongs at the top and then bent into shape. The thicker the bamboo and the higher/sturdier the quality, the more prongs can be made, which is reflected in the different sizes (i.e. 80, 100, 120).
Although the numbers traditionally refer to the amount of prongs, the width of the bamboo and the fineness of the prongs are actually more relevant to the size indications.
You will notice that especially Usucha is easier to whisk up with a larger whisk. When a smaller Matcha bowl is used however, a slender whisk is more suitable.
Item No. 40134.1
Matcha bowl (Chawan) from China with a glossy, black glaze.
The uneven rim of the bowl is characteristic for the Japanese sense for finding beauty in imperfection and asymmetry. Seen from the side the variations in height resemble the silhouette of a hilly landscape.
The bowl is about 8cm high and 12,8cm wide. Please note that the shape, colour and size of the tea ceramics can vary slightly!
Matcha bowls are usually filled to only about one third with about 100ml per portion. The shape of the bowl is quite wide to leave enough room to easily whisk up your Matcha.
Item No. 40180.1
Tea roaster (Horoku) for your homemade Hojicha!
Simply fill the Horoku with the tea of your choice and roast on low temperature on your gas stove. Shake the Horoku a few times and enjoy the fantastic smell in between. Take off the heat once you have reached the desired degree of roasting. This may be just slightly bronzed or roasted to a dark brown colour depending on your taste we recommend to prepare a little cuppa in different stages of roasting to experience the full range of aroma Hojija has to offer!
Tip: Any green tea can be used for your personalized Hojicha. In Japan popular blends often include Kukicha (stem tea). The KEIKO Hojicha is made of a blend of Kabusecha from the first and second picking.

Item No. 42200
The Ooika- Cold brewer for the preparation of drip tea can be used with hot OR cold water. However, it is ideal especially for cold brew green tea highlighting the rich yet sweet green fragrance of high quality Kabusecha, known amongst tea-connoisseurs as Ooika.
The Cold brewer consists of two glass vessels which are connected with a rubber base with a small opening, which lets the water drip into the stainless steel strainer underneath and then into the lower vessel.
To prepare your cold drip Green Tea measure 2-3 teaspoons of tea into the sieve (make sure the tea covers the bottom of the strainer evenly) and fill the upper vessel with 600 to 900ml of water. You can also use ice cubes to make a Kouridashi-brew, either letting them melt slowly to drip over the tea or just add them to your tea once its ready.
The preparation takes between 25 and 45 minutes. You can adjust the speed by pushing the little knob deeper into the rubber base to slow the water flow or pulling it back out to speed it up.
Best suited for this type of preparation is deep steamed (fukamushi) Kabusecha from an early picking, as these will best release the aroma and all the valuable ingredients of the tea but also the least astringency.
Our Tip: Serve the cold drip tea in wine-glasses to surprise your dinner guests with a tasty refreshing alternative to alcohol!
Item No. 42201 Let your green tea shine with this borosilicate glass-teapot! Watching the water turning bright green is a special pleasure with glass teapots, however it can of course also be used for other types of tea. The large stainless steel strainer allows for the leaves to unfold and release their full aroma wonderfully.
The teapot is made by Hario in Japan and is dishwasher-proof.
Filling capacity
The filling capacities of the teaware are always measured up to the edge - the actual quantity in daily use is slightly smaller. This teapot is for 1-6 persons.
Matcha preparation doesn't have to be complicated, with this shaker the matcha is prepared perfectly and in seconds - even with cold water.The shaker consists of 2 chambers with a capacity of up to 70ml. The fine mesh separating the two chambers ensures a fine, dense foam when shaking, while the silicone ring ensures that nothing is spilt. How to use Pour matcha (approx. 1 heaped measuring spoon) into one of the containers and fill up to the mark with water or (plant-based) milk. Screw all three parts tightly together and then shake vigorously for about 30 seconds. Then unscrew the bottom container first and carefully turn the centre part and the top container upside down.
Then unscrew the centre part and pour the matcha from both containers into a cup and enjoy! You can use the shaker to prepare all green tea powders, from benifuuki powder to kabuse powder and traditional matcha.
If you use it to prepare milk foam, the 70ml is enough for 2 portions of matcha latte...or coffee latte (yes, even we do that sometimes). Please note: The Shaker should be used for cold liquids only.Material:Filter frame: PP Filter membrane: Polyester Cups: Styrene-acrylonitrile

Beautifully delicate, white teacup made on a hand operated potters wheel in a small manufacture in Germany. The cup has a silky matte surface on the outside and a glossy, thin celadon-glaze on the inside.
The slightly translucent, thin and lightweight composition of the porcelain make this cup a delight to drink from.
Each of these handcrafted cups is unique, so shape, colour or size may vary slightly while small particles of ash may leave beauty marks on the cup, giving each its own allure.
Maximum capacity 185ml
Measurements: 9 x 5cm
The teacup can be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Item No. 40203.1
The wavy shape of this glass follows the principle of the golden ratio, making it not only pleasing to the eye, but is said to have a positive effect on the biological valence of its contents after only about 3 minutes in the glass. This is most noticeable in water developing a softer taste.
The Glass is quite resilient and well suited for kids, grownups and the use in restaurants. Because of its shape it stands very steadily and if it does get tipped over it will tilt back into standing position by itself go ahead and try it!
Each glass is unique. Small variations in measurements, air-bubbles in the glass are part of the handcrafted experience.
The glass can be cleaned in the dishwasher, however we recommend washing it by hand for a longer life span. To remove lime residue rinse the inside of the glass with water and citric acid. The outside should not be treated with citric acid.

Matcha measuring spoon (Chashaku) made of bamboo.
Use 1-2 heaped spoons of Matcha (per 100ml) for one bowl of Usucha. The exact amount can vary depending on the type of Matcha and your personal taste, but you will quickly find the right amount of Matcha for your taste after a few tries. Start with a higher dosage and if it is too strong add some extra water and use less powder the next time.
Make sure the spoon does not get wet, since the water will roughen the surface making the powder stick to it. Clean with a dry cloth instead.
