Anatae is a French matcha brand founded in 2019 that sources organic tea directly from three Japanese prefectures: Nishio, Kagoshima, Shizuoka. Its matcha range is purpose-built—from ceremonial to culinary—with blends tailored to each use.
The ceremonial grade relies on ichibancha leaves shaded for three weeks with black sheets—tana shading—and stone-ground to a fine 10‑micron powder after steaming and drying. Anatae works with multi‑generational farmers like Kana’s family in Nishio; their pesticide‑free tencha helped the brand earn the Meilleur Produit BIO award.
Anatae Matcha Ritual Set combines 30 g of organic ceremonial matcha with three traditional preparation tools: a short bamboo chasen whisk, a bamboo chashaku scoop, and a beige porcelain naoshi whisk holder. Matcha comes from Nishio in Aichi, Japan, uses Yabukita cultivar, and is hand-harvested during spring ichibancha, first harvest. Taste is mild, vegetal, fresh, and free from bitterness.
Matcha contains no gluten or allergens. Its supported uses include traditional water-based matcha, matcha latte, and no-bake pastry. Product received Meilleur Produit BIO 2022 award.
This ceremonial matcha has mild, vegetal, and fresh notes without bitterness. Nishio origin, Yabukita cultivar, spring first harvest, and fully manual harvesting and production provide specific sourcing details for buyers comparing Japanese matcha sets. Fine character and lack of bitterness suit both traditional matcha and milk-based preparation.
Measure about 1 g of matcha with chashaku and transfer it to bowl. Close tin immediately to protect powder from light. Add small amount of water at 70–75°C; boiling water can diminish delicate aromas. Hold bowl with one hand and whisk with chasen using quick W- or M-shaped movements without pressing down. Continue for about 20 seconds, until surface develops fine, creamy foam and drink becomes smooth and free from lumps. Serve immediately.
Natural bamboo chasen may release small loose strands during production. Remove any visible strands with fingertips before first use.
Rinse chasen with plain water after each use, without soap, then place it on naoshi to air-dry. A soft brush can be used occasionally for deeper cleaning. Do not leave whisk soaking, since prolonged contact with water can damage bamboo.
Wipe chashaku with soft cloth after use. It may occasionally be rinsed with plain water and left to air-dry, but should not remain submerged. Set supplies core tools for daily traditional matcha preparation while keeping each accessory’s role specific and practical.
The set includes 30 g of organic ceremonial matcha, a short bamboo chasen whisk, a bamboo chashaku scoop, and a beige porcelain naoshi whisk holder.
