Who is Matchaeologist?
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.
Artisanal matcha kit with handcrafted tools for a daily ritual
The Matchæologist Matsu Artisanal Matcha Brewing Kit combines Matsu artisanal-grade matcha with handcrafted matcha ware for a daily matcha ritual. Its glass-and-bamboo setup pairs references to traditional matcha preparation with contemporary function, bringing the matcha, bowl, whisk and measuring spoon together in one kit.
What comes in the Matchæologist brewing kit?
The kit contains four named components, each with a specific role in preparing and serving matcha:
- Matsu matcha: The included artisanal-grade matcha.
- Cloud Glass Chawan: A handblown, double-walled glass matcha bowl.
- Full-Hand Chasen: A full-length bamboo matcha whisk supplied with a stand.
- Bamboo Chashaku: A bamboo spoon designed for measuring matcha.
The coordinated set is intended for a contemporary daily ritual while retaining the bowl, whisk and spoon associated with ceremonial matcha preparation.
How large are the bowl and bamboo tools?
The Cloud Glass Chawan measures 3.3 inches at its widest point and 2.4 inches high. Its maximum capacity is 5.7 fluid ounces. Because the product is handmade, measurements may vary by approximately 10%.
The Full-Hand Chasen is 1.4 inches in diameter and 6.1 inches high. The Bamboo Chashaku measures 1 inch in diameter and 6.1 inches long. The complete kit comes in a box measuring 6.6 inches long, 4.8 inches wide and 2.8 inches high.
How should the matcha and brewing tools be handled?
Before using the matcha, cut open the inner bag and gently empty its contents into the tin. Refrigerate the matcha after opening for optimal flavor and potency.
Remove the stand from the Full-Hand Chasen before using the whisk. After use, rinse both the chasen 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. The contemporary daily-ritual variant is currently available.
