Who is Matcha Union?
Matcha Union is a London brand founded in 2020 by Louisa Birkhahn, working directly with growers in Uji, Shizuoka and Yame. The name refers to the union of tradition and modern ritual.
Its range pairs cultivar-named matcha with flavoured versions and matcha chocolate, shipped worldwide from warehouses in the UK, Germany and the UAE.
Organic ceremonial matcha and essential tools for home preparation
The Matcha Union Ritual Set combines organic Ceremonial Grade Matcha with two tools for preparing matcha at home. The compact set contains first-harvest Okumidori matcha from Uji, Kyoto, a traditional bamboo whisk, and a stainless steel scoop. It is designed as a straightforward starting set and can also be given as a gift.
What does the Matcha Union Ritual Set include?
Three components are packed together:
- Ceremonial Grade Matcha: 30 g of organic, first-harvest Okumidori from Uji, Kyoto.
- Bamboo whisk: A traditional 100-prong chasen for whisking smooth, frothy matcha.
- Stainless steel scoop: A modern interpretation of the traditional chashaku, engraved with the Matcha Union logo. One scoop measures one serving.
The combination keeps the matcha and its preparation tools together in one compact package. The bamboo whisk provides the traditional tool for mixing the powder, while the stainless steel scoop offers a contemporary alternative to a bamboo chashaku.
How does the ceremonial matcha taste?
The included matcha has a smooth, naturally sweet profile with no bitterness. It is made from the Okumidori cultivar and comes from the first harvest in Uji, Kyoto. Its ceremonial grade and gentle flavor profile make it suitable for preparing as matcha at home with the included chasen.
The matcha is organic. The set does not separate the tea from the tools, so buyers receive the matcha, whisk, and scoop as one coordinated format rather than as individual selections.
Who is this compact matcha set for?
The Ritual Set is intended for anyone starting to make matcha at home and wanting the essential tea and tools in one package. The 100-prong bamboo whisk is used to produce a smooth, frothy consistency, while the stainless steel scoop provides a repeatable serving measure.
Its simple, compact presentation also makes it suitable as a matcha gift. Buyers looking specifically for organic Ceremonial Grade Matcha from Uji, an Okumidori first-harvest tea, and two dedicated preparation tools will find all three elements in this set.
Ceremonial is a commercial matcha grade made from hand-picked young tea leaves, then stone-ground for its taste and vibrant color.
Ichibancha is the late-April-to-May first harvest, producing vibrant green matcha with sweet, delicate flavor and characteristic umami.
Uji is a historic city in Kyoto where matcha cultivation began over 800 years ago, and its climate and soil shape distinct flavors across varieties.
