Why I Love This Matcha Set (Even Though I Skip the Matcha)

 

I'm not personally a fan of matcha—the taste just doesn't do it for me, it’s like drinking grass clippings—but I absolutely love matcha sets for their incredible versatility and beautiful design. This particular set is a standout: it includes a handcrafted matcha bowl (chawan), bamboo whisk (chasen) with holder, sifter, and tea scoop (chashaku), all crafted with high-quality, natural, and eco-friendly materials in a lovely shade of celadon.

 

The bowl is a generous 15 oz. capacity, made from durable, food-grade porcelain clay in a soft celery green that's just gorgeous—subtle, calming, and perfect for everyday aesthetics. It's sturdy, easy to clean, and feels premium without being fussy. The bamboo components are natural, safe, and thoughtfully made: the whisk is finely tined for smooth frothing (if you ever do make matcha), the holder keeps everything organized and dry, the sifter ensures lump-free powder, and the scoop is precise and elegant. 

Believe it or not, matcha sets are multifunctional, well beyond its traditional purpose. The large, wide bowl is ideal for so many kitchen and table uses:

 

  - Serving soups (miso, ramen, creamy bisques, or chilled gazpacho)

- Holding salads or grain bowls for lunch/dinner

- Breakfast cereal topped with fresh fruit and yogurt

- Mixing small batches of batters, dips, or sauces

- Even as a stylish vessel for snacks like nuts or popcorn

I've repurposed the whisk holder as a charming vase in my guest bathroom, where it now elegantly displays a small bouquet of fresh flowers—adds such a lovely, zen touch to the space without any effort. It’s become one of those little details guests always comment on—‘Wait, is that a matcha whisk holder holding flowers?’ Yes, yes it is—and it makes me smile every time.

 The bamboo scoop is excellent quality and has joined my utensil drawer alongside similar tools, but it stands out for portioning ingredients like spices, herbs, coffee grounds, or even small servings of loose-leaf tea. It's precise, natural, and feels nicer than metal alternatives.

The sifter works great for any powdered ingredient that needs to be lump-free—cocoa for hot chocolate, powdered sugar for dusting desserts, flour for baking, or even spices in recipes. It’s a charming addition to my hot chocolate and coffee station.

 Even if you're like me and skip the actual matcha whisking ritual, this set brings so much joy and utility to the kitchen and home. The quality is excellent across the board, the color is my favorite (that soft celery green is serene and versatile), and it elevates simple daily tasks into something a little more intentional and beautiful. If you’re on the fence because you don’t drink matcha either, trust me—this set is worth it purely for the joy it brings to everyday moments. Beautiful design, solid quality, and endless ways to use it around the house. Highly recommend for anyone who loves thoughtful, multi-purpose pieces that feel a little special. Matcha lover or not, you’ll find your own way to make it yours.
