Matcha Whisk Set and Bowl, Matcha Making Kit Whisk, Bowl With Spout, Sifter, Ceramic Whisk Holder, Spoon Japanese Tea Powder Starter Tools For Ceremony Gift (Pink, 9 Pack)

All the pieces you need to make a great matcha. Love it!

I just started drinking Matcha and needed something to mix it up with.When I opened the box, first I was impressed at how well it was packaged. Everything was tight and secure.The bowl is larger than I expected, but oh how gorgeous. This set is perfect for the beginner or expert. The frother is powerful and makes my Matcha Latta nice and frothy. Loving this purchase.

This is a great low cost matcha set. No, it's not the quality level of the high level ceremonial sets, but it still works just fine for all but the most finicky picky people. This set has all the basics one needs and some unnecessary, but nice to have extras.The mixing/drinking bowl feels sturdy enough. It's large enough for mixing without spilling. I'm still not used to drinking out of a cup with a spout. I'm just used to mixing and drinking out of the same bowl...but without the spout. I understand the spout though, especially for those not too concerned with authenticity or simplicity (I know, having extras kind of goes against some of the spirit of the matcha ceremony, but that discussion is for another time). The spout does make pouring into another cups easier/less drippy. This is good enough to drink out of. Just be mindful of the spout that sticks out. The standard bamboo scoop is a good size and it works. The bamboo whisk is a good size and it works just as well as the more expensive Japanese handmade ones i first learned with as a kid. The whisk holder is not entirely necessary, but it does help with keeping the whisk shape and drying. The sifter is not entirely necessary either, but it definitely does make mixing matcha easier, quicker since it cuts down a lot on clumps. The tea/powder caddy here is tiny. It's not necessary, but a nice addition. I keep my matcha in an airtight, watertight tin for freshness, but if you're not concerned with that, this definitely works and matches the rest of the set. Lacquered wood is also a commonly seen material for caddies besides ceramic. The cloth here works. It adequately cleans up any water or power. I'm used to plain ones, but I don't mind if it's decorated. Tea caddies and clothes for wiping are definitely not something I'm all that picky about unless I'm trying to do a serious tea ceremony, along with the whole dress up, ritual, better serene location, etc. song & dance, which is rare. The little duck chopstick/scooper rest is definitely not necessary, but at least it looks cute. I'm used to just resting the scooper on a bowl (such as water bowl or other empty bowl, not the drinking bowl...since you need to drink out out of it obviously), but I'm not mad at them for including a little rest. I'm not sure why they didn't have this match the rest of the set. The electric frother is definitely very redundant and unnecessary. I stick with the bamboo whisk, which is much easier to control, especially if you care about how frothy/not frothy you like your matcha. With that said, the electric frother works reliably far and is easy enough to use, and I won't turn down a free frother. This set does not come with matcha powder. Please go get yourself some good quality matcha. It makes a huge difference in taste, especially compared to the really cheap stuff. Also, try out different water (not boiling) to powder ratios to figure out what you personally like. I tend to prefer less water than what a lot of lower end shops & matcha/tea company tins/boxes instruct, but you may prefer yours lighter.

This matcha making set provides the novice with all the tools necessary to begin making green tea matcha (with the added benefit of an electric stirrer for added convenience). It's also affordable so whilst it isn't the same quality as one of the expensive sets you'd get in a specialty shop in Japan, it does provide the owner with a set that makes great matcha everyday.

I like this set and I love the color but it seems a bit overpriced for the quality
