MATCHA SET

Set of items to perform the Cha No Yu ceremony. Composed of:

• Chasen, handmade bamboo whisk.

The Cha No Yu ceremony is prepared using not just any tea but only matcha. Matcha is a powdered tea made from Gyokuro leaves, a particular Japanese tea cultivar. Matcha is one of the richest teas in antioxidants and caffeine, and in our guide you can find all the information about the benefits of matcha, properties, and preparation.
