Kiji Stoneware & Ceramics Blue Sakura Matcha Gift Set New

The Blue Sakura matcha gift set is a celebration of Japanese tradition. It contains everything you need to host a tea ceremony at home.

Handmade in Japan, the bowl is a beautiful shade of dark blue. The interior is decorated with a delicate floral pattern. Sakura means ‘cherry blossom’ in Japanese. The pale pink flowers symbolise fleeting beauty and new beginnings.

The set includes:

• Glazed porcelain matcha tea bowl
• Bamboo matcha whisk
• Whisk holder
• Chashaku bamboo matcha tea spoon

Matcha is a finely ground green tea powder. It has been enjoyed as part of the Japanese tea ceremony for hundreds of years. Rich in antioxidants, it is said to boost brain health and relieve stress.

For one serving of tea, use the chashaku to measure two scoops of matcha powder into the bowl. Add a splash of hot water and use the whisk to make a paste. Top up with approximately 70ml of hot, not boiling, water. Use the matcha whisk in a vigorous ‘W’ motion until the matcha becomes very frothy. Enjoy immediately.

The Blue Sakura matcha set is a great gift for matcha lovers. For a gift that’s ready to enjoy straight away, pair it with some matcha green tea powder.

Please note that the whisk must be soaked to soften the tines before you put it over the stand. It will then shape to the stand.
