Everything you need to start whisking, beautifully.

This bundle pairs two of our most loved products: our Premium Matcha and a 100-prong handcrafted bamboo chasen, so you can whisk your first bowl with confidence.

Our Premium Matcha is crafted from a blend of Yabukita and Okumidori cultivars, sourced from Uji, Japan. Smooth, balanced, and gently umami with a subtle malty sweetness - it's your go-to everyday matcha, done exceptionally well. Best used for matcha lattes and specialty drinks.

The chasen is made from smooth white bamboo with 100 fine prongs (significantly more than the standard 60-70) this whisk creates a finer, creamier froth and a smoother matcha texture. Shaped and balanced by skilled artisans for both daily and ceremonial use.

What's included:

Yamada Chaya Premium Matcha, 40g tin (Uji, Japan)
Handcrafted 100-prong bamboo chasen

All you need to get started is a small bowl and a teaspoon.

Ingredients: 100% Japanese green tea powder, 100% bamboo tea whisk

Total value $80.00

Our matcha and hojicha powders are freshly ground to order by our tea farm partners in Japan.

After grinding, our matcha is sealed in nitrogen-flushed bags to safeguard its aroma, color, and depth of flavor.

At Yamada Chaya it is maintained in cold storage and brought gradually to room temperature before dispatch so it reaches you in peak condition.
