or 4 interest-free payments of $19.75 with Afterpay ⓘ
The smallest matcha setup that actually works.
The Matcha Starter Kit pairs Strabella's hand-finished green ceramic chawan with a traditional bamboo whisk and 1.9 oz of ceremonial-grade matcha powder. Everything you need to start a daily matcha ritual, nothing you don't.
What's in the matcha starter kit
- Green Ceramic Matcha Bowl (Chawan) — wide rim for whisking, hand-finished textured artisan glaze
- Bamboo Whisk (Chasen) with Ceramic Holder — 100-prong traditional whisk on a stand that keeps the prongs dry between uses
- Bamboo Scoop (Chashaku) — single-serve portion measure carved from a single piece of bamboo
- Stainless Steel Sifter — breaks up clumps for a smooth, lump-free whisk
- Ceremonial Matcha Powder 1.9 oz (54 g) — single-origin Japanese, stone-ground, first-harvest spring leaf
- Linen Tea Mat — keeps the counter clean during the ritual
- Strabella Box — gift-ready, no extra wrapping needed
Why this matcha starter kit is different
Most starter kits sold online are kitchen-supply-store assemblies with sticker prices and powder that's been sitting on a shelf for two years. Ours is built from the same pieces we use at home: a bowl that holds heat evenly, a whisk that breaks down powder cleanly, and matcha that we stone-grind in small batches.
How to make matcha with this kit
- Sift one bamboo scoop (about 1 g) of matcha into the green chawan
- Add 2 oz of water at 175°F (just under boiling)
- Whisk in a quick "M" pattern for 15 seconds until a layer of foam forms on top
- Top with another 4 oz of water for tea, or steamed milk for a matcha latte
Care and longevity
The bamboo whisk lasts six to twelve months of daily use when air-dried on its ceramic holder. The chawan is dishwasher-safe but most people hand-wash it in thirty seconds. The sifter rinses clean in seconds and lives in the same gift box for storage.
Stone-ground in Uji, hand-packed in Newport Beach
The matcha is first-harvest spring leaf from Uji, Japan — shade-grown for three weeks before pick to deepen the chlorophyll and reduce bitterness. We stone-grind small batches and seal each tin within 48 hours of grinding. Each tin holds about 27 servings. Tasting notes: bright, gently sweet, naturally umami, never grassy.
Built to start, made to last
If you've never made matcha at home, this is the smallest setup that actually works. If you've been using a $15 amazon whisk and a foil pouch of powder, this is the upgrade that lasts years.
