got this as a gift for a friend who is always ordering matcha when we go out. hope she will enjoy the opportunity to make it at home anytime she wants!
I continue to enjoy you Black and Green teas (and sometimes Dargeeling), but the Mucha I will take a pass. Didn't do a thing for me.
I've always been a little intimidated by matcha, since it is prepared differently from normal tea. I like that this came with all the supplies you need to get started. The bowl is a nice size for a small serving and the scoop and whisk were both fun to try out. There is enough of the matcha itself to experiment with how you like it. I was able to figure out that I liked it with 175 F water and even got to experiment to see how I liked it with or without sweetener! I think I'll get more use out of this in the future!
I gifted this to myself with my rewards. I absolutely adore it. I use the cup daily for all my teas now. It is very pleasant to look at and comfortable to hold. It holds 6 oz. which is perfect for RoT teas. I love matcha and this one did not disappoint. I thought about taking off a star because the price was a little high but I feel like I am getting my money worth since I use it daily. Doing the whole ritual is very relaxing.
This set is complete. Matcha flavor, superb. I will repeat it and be ready to purchase as a gift for special friends.
Decent starter set. The chashaku and chasen are both functional and the chawan is nice albeit a little smaller than I like. The matcha itself isn't the greatest quality for making usucha or koicha. It would be more suitable for latte or other culinary uses. Overall it's an okay starter set and at a cheap enough price point for people to experiment and see if they enjoy drinking and preparing matcha.
My first time drinking match and I love it. I also love green tea ice cream! But after some research, I was pleased to see this set contained JAPANESE match. Chinese can be inferior.
