For the true matcha experience, prepare your matcha the traditional way: with the right dosage, creamy frothed foam, and of course, premium quality matcha. For this reason, The Matcha Man has carefully curated this matcha set.
The combo deal includes the following:
- Bamboo matcha whisk to froth the matcha
- Whisk holder to keep the matcha whisk in shape
- Bamboo spoon for the correct dosage
- 25 grams of premium quality matcha (Ceremonial High Grade, from Uji)
Bamboo matcha whisk
This original Japanese whisk is essential for the perfect layer of foam on your matcha. It is handmade from a single piece of bamboo. The bamboo is split into fine bristles. The more bristles the whisk has, the finer the foam. Basic matcha whisks have 80 bristles; The Matcha Man's matcha whisk has no fewer than 100 for a silky-smooth result.
Whisk holder
This matte black ceramic holder, made in Japan, ensures a longer lifespan for your matcha whisk. Let the whisk dry on this holder after use so that it retains its original shape.
Bamboo spoon
The Japanese matcha bamboo spoon, also known as a 'chashaku', is the traditional spoon used for preparing matcha. You use the chashaku together with a matcha whisk and a matcha bowl.
Ceremonial High Grade Matcha
This premium quality matcha is suitable for ceremonial preparation. The Ceremonial High Grade Matcha from The Matcha Man is made from the first and second seasonal harvest and has a bright grass-green color and a sweet, soft umami taste with a fine foam.
- Packaged in Japan immediately after production
- Shelf life of 1–2 years unopened
Origin: the matcha comes from Uji, where the tea plantation has been producing matcha in an authentic way for over 300 years. Ceremonial matcha is drunk pure for the best taste experience.
Matcha fits into a healthy lifestyle!
The better the quality of the matcha, the higher the content of antioxidants, amino acids, and other nutrients. With matcha, you drink the entire leaf, exactly where the nutrients are located. This is in contrast to regular green tea, where you remove the leaves.
Matcha contains a quarter less caffeine than coffee, but provides even energy for up to 6 hours due to its slow release. This also makes matcha and intermittent fasting a great combination.

Matcha from The Matcha Man consists of 100% pure matcha, without additives.
Preparation of matcha
- Fill a matcha bowl halfway with hot water and place your bamboo whisk in it. This makes it supple and creates a nicer foam later on. The bowl heats up at the same time, which means the matcha cools down less quickly. After 1 minute, pour out the bowl and dry it thoroughly.
- Use a bamboo spoon to put the correct amount of matcha into the bowl and make a smooth paste with a little water and the whisk.
- Fill the bowl with 60–90 ml of water at a maximum of 80°C.
- Then make W-movements with the bamboo whisk, using your wrist and without touching the sides or bottom. Stop once a fine, creamy layer of foam has formed. The fewer bubbles, the better you have succeeded.
