Made by Tanimura Tango, a 20th-generation artisan carrying forward a 500-year lineage of bamboo tea utensil craftsmanship from Takayama, the historic center of chasen making.
Each piece is shaped from kurotake (naturally dark bamboo), prized for its depth of tone and subtle variation.
A small number of pieces were sourced during a recent visit to his workshop in Nara.
Matcha this fresh deserves a little care. Keep the tin sealed tight, away from light, heat, and moisture — a cool, dark cupboard is all it needs. Once opened, use within 8 weeks for the full experience.
- Sift the Matcha: Use a small sifter to remove any clumps from 1–2 teaspoons of matcha powder for a smooth texture.
- Add Water: Pour 2–3 ounces of hot water (slightly cooled after boiling) into a bowl.
- Whisk: Use a bamboo whisk (chasen) to whisk the matcha briskly in a zigzag motion (M or W shape) until a frothy layer forms on top.
- Serve: Enjoy your matcha as is, or adjust with more water or your preferred milk for a latte.
Found in over 50 independent boutiques, cafés, and design stores.
