The Jade Leaf Matcha Ceremony Set

Yes, it is designed specifically with beginners in mind. The set includes a preparation guide that walks you through the traditional steps, and the included tools are standard equipment for mastering the technique.

The whisk holder is essential for maintaining the shape of your bamboo whisk. After use, the delicate tines of the whisk can warp if left to dry on a flat surface; placing it on the holder ensures it dries in its proper, curved shape, which extends the life of the tool.

Bamboo is a natural material and should be hand-washed only with warm water. Avoid using soap or putting the whisk and scoop in the dishwasher, as this can dry out the wood or cause it to crack; simply rinse and allow them to air dry completely before storage.

While the stoneware is durable, we recommend hand-washing the bowl to preserve its finish and integrity over time. It is generally best to avoid the microwave, as extreme temperature changes can stress the ceramic material.
