Prepare matcha the Japanese way!
For the novice matcha user, we've created this special matcha starter set. All products are handmade in Japan. The Matcha Man matcha starter set contains essential tools for traditional matcha preparation. Naturally, the starter set also includes a package of ceremonial-grade matcha.
Matcha is healthy and has been consumed since ancient times. Originally Tea originates from Southeast Asia. All tea comes from the same tea bush (Camellia sinensus). However, the way it's processed determines the type of tea it becomes.
The starter set contains the following:
Bowl
The bowl in this starter set is precisely sized for preparing matcha. Great care has been put into this hand-glazed bowl, crafted in Japan. This makes it a beautiful bowl to behold.
Bamboo matcha whisk
This original Japanese whisk is essential for creating the perfect foam on your matcha. It's handmade from a single piece of bamboo, split into fine hairs. The more hairs the whisk has, the finer the matcha foam will be. Basic matcha whisks have 80 hairs. The Matcha Man's matcha whisk has a whopping 100 hairs, for a silky-smooth result.
To ensure that the whisk stays in good shape and lasts longer, it is best to place it on a whisk holder !

Matcha fits into a healthy lifestyle!
The better the quality of matcha, the higher the content of antioxidants, amino acids, and other nutrients. When you consume matcha, you drink the green part of the leaf, which contains all those nutrients. This is in contrast to regular green tea, where you remove the tea leaves before drinking.
In addition, matcha contains a quarter less caffeine than a cup of coffee, but due to the slow release of caffeine it provides an energy boost for up to 6 hours.
This also makes matcha and intermittent fasting a great combination. Read more about intermittent fasting and matcha in Blog 11 .
Matcha from The Matcha Man consists of 100% matcha without any external additives.

In Japan, matcha is part of the tea ceremony. This ceremony consists of a series of steps performed one after the other to ensure optimal enjoyment of the tea. The goal is to create a relaxing atmosphere, a true moment of me-time.
Before we get into the proper preparation method, it's important to understand how this type of tea is produced. Matcha is extracted from the Camellia Sinensis tea plant. The whole leaves are dried, steamed, and then ground into a fine powder. It's usually sold as a packaged tea to prevent its wonderful properties from being lost. There are countless recipes for preparing it. The flavor of matcha also pairs beautifully with things like granola, cake, vanilla ice cream, and smoothies.
The potential health benefits of matcha have made it one of the most popular teas. Its unique production method ensures that all its beneficial properties are preserved. For example, a cup of matcha contains 135 times more antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals than regular green tea. But there are even more potential health benefits, such as lowering cholesterol and stress, and matcha can also be effective for weight loss. This Japanese tea is a great addition to a morning ritual during intermittent fasting, allowing you to start the day healthy without breakfast. It's the ideal addition to a potentially healthy and varied diet. The chlorophyll, naturally present in matcha powder, has a detoxifying effect: it binds harmful metals in your body and removes them. Want to enjoy these benefits? You'll find a wide range of matcha products in our webshop.
The difference between matcha and regular green tea lies in the cultivation and processing of the tea leaves. For matcha processing, the tea bushes are shaded so the leaves produce more chlorophyll. This substance gives matcha its beautiful bright green color. The tea leaves are then steamed, dried, and, unlike regular green tea, stone-ground into a fine powder. The powder is then whisked with hot water at 80°C (176°F) until it begins to froth. It is then ready to be consumed.
Our webshop offers a wide range of products. You can find not only matcha but also accessories such as a handmade Japanese matcha bowl, a whisk, or even a complete matcha (gift) set.
