Matchaeologist is a matcha brand sourcing exclusively from Uji, Kyoto, Japan, offering a curated range of ceremonial and culinary grades. Its matcha is grown using the traditional Honzu method, a 30-day shading process with rice-straw mats before harvest.
The collection includes cultivars Misaki, Matsu, and Meiko for drinking, and Midori and Mirai for culinary use, all processed from first-flush tencha ground slowly on granite stone mills.
The Matchæologist Matsu Matcha Brewing Kit combines Matsu artisanal grade matcha with three handcrafted pieces of matcha ware. Designed for a daily matcha ritual, the set balances traditional ceremonial values with contemporary function and presentation.
The kit contains four listed components:
Together, these pieces provide the matcha, bowl, whisk, and measuring spoon used to take part in the ceremony in a contemporary style. The Full-Hand Chasen and Bamboo Chashaku each measure 6.1 inches long. The whisk has a 1.4-inch diameter, while the spoon has a 1-inch diameter.
The Cloud Glass Chawan measures 3.3 inches across at its widest point and 2.4 inches high. Its maximum capacity is 5.7 fluid ounces. Because the glass bowl and other matcha-ware pieces are handmade, measurements may vary by plus or minus 10%.
The complete box measures 6.6 inches long, 4.8 inches wide, and 2.8 inches high. These dimensions help clarify the scale of the kit and its individual tools before purchase.
Before using the matcha, cut open the inner bag and gently empty its contents into the tin. Refrigerate the matcha after opening to maintain optimal flavor and potency.
Remove the stand from the Full-Hand Chasen while using the whisk. After use, rinse both the bamboo whisk and Bamboo Chashaku with cold water, then leave them to dry in a well-circulated area.
Gently rinse the Cloud Glass Chawan with room-temperature water after each use. The glass bowl is not safe for a microwave or dishwasher, and sudden temperature changes should be avoided.
