Traditional tools
Made for whisking, not stirring
Every tool has a job. Together they turn matcha powder into a smooth, aerated bowl.

What each tool does
A matcha toolkit, one piece at a time
Matcha preparation uses a small kit of tools, each with a specific job. Click any tool to shop it.
Matcha bowl chawan
A wide-mouthed bowl, deep enough to drink from and wide enough to whisk in. Glass shows the whisk crema form. White ceramic shows the matcha green vividly. Both are made for whisking.
Bamboo whisk chasen
A bamboo whisk with around 100 prongs. Aerates matcha into a smooth crema. The single most important tool in the kit. Shop the whisk.
Whisk holder chasen naoshi
A ceramic stand the whisk sits on after use. Reshapes the prongs as they dry so they stay separated. The single biggest thing you can do to extend whisk life. Shop the whisk holder.
Bamboo scoop chashaku
A long, narrow bamboo scoop for measuring matcha. One full scoop is roughly 1 gram, half a serve. Two scoops for a standard bowl. Better than a metal spoon for fine powder. Shop the scoop.
Sieve furui
A fine-mesh sieve with a handle. Breaks up matcha clumps before whisking for a lump-free bowl. Optional but recommended, especially for lattes. Shop the sieve.
Glass matcha bowl with spout
A modern take on the traditional bowl. Wide enough to whisk in, with a spout for clean pouring into a glass or mug. Ideal for iced matcha and lattes. Shop the glass bowl.

Care for your tools
How to keep every piece in good shape
Bowls last for years. Bamboo tools are consumables, but the way you treat them decides whether they last one month or six. A few habits apply to the whole kit.
Step 01
Rinse warm
Rinse every piece in warm water straight after use. No soap on bamboo. Bowls can take a mild detergent if needed.
Step 02
Air-dry
Bamboo needs open air. Never put a wet whisk or scoop back in a drawer. Bowls can be towel-dried or left on a rack.
Step 03
Store separately
Keep bamboo tools apart, not stacked. A whisk holder is the single best investment for whisk life. Scoops rest flat.
Step 04
Replace when worn
Bowls, holders and sieves last for years. Bamboo whisks last three to six months with good care, or up to a year with excellent care. When prongs splay or snap, replace.

Bowl choice
Glass or white ceramic bowl?

- Watch the whisk crema form
- Pours cleanly from a built-in spout
- Lighter to hold
White ceramic bowl
Traditional and grounded
- Shows the matcha green vividly
- Holds heat well for hot matcha
- The classic Japanese finish
Frequently asked questions
Buying matcha accessories
What accessories do I need to make matcha at home?
The two essentials are a matcha bowl and a bamboo whisk. That is enough to whisk a proper bowl. As the ritual settles in, add a whisk holder (extends whisk life), a bamboo scoop (measures 1g per scoop) and a sieve (breaks up clumps for smoother matcha). All five are available individually or as part of our matcha tea sets.
Can I make matcha with a fork?
No. A fork cannot make matcha, no matter how vigorously you stir. Matcha needs to be aerated, not stirred. The 100 fine prongs of a bamboo whisk are designed to trap air and break the powder into the water so it dissolves into a smooth, frothy bowl. A fork has four flat tines that only push the powder around, leaving lumps that sink to the bottom and no crema on top.
If you don't have a bamboo whisk yet, a small handheld electric frother works better than a fork, though it still won't give the same texture. A bamboo whisk is the only tool that whisks matcha the way it is meant to be drunk.
Glass or white ceramic matcha bowl: which should I pick?
Both are wide-mouthed and made for whisking. Glass is modern, light, and lets you watch the whisk crema form. It also pours cleanly if you choose the version with a spout. White ceramic shows the matcha green vividly and holds heat better. There is no functional difference in whisk quality. Pick by aesthetic and by whether you often pour matcha into a mug or glass.
How long does a bamboo matcha whisk last?
Longer than most people think. Three to six months of daily use with basic care. With excellent care, a bamboo whisk can last up to a year. The habits that make the difference: rinse in warm water after every bowl until no matcha residue is left, never use soap or a dishwasher, and always dry it on a ceramic whisk holder so the prongs hold their shape. Bamboo whisks are consumables and will eventually splay or snap, but treated well they last far longer than the packaging usually suggests.
Why use a bamboo whisk instead of a metal one or a milk frother?
A bamboo whisk has around 100 fine prongs designed to aerate matcha without breaking the fine powder or scratching the bowl. A metal whisk crushes the powder rather than aerating it, and a milk frother tends to make foam without properly integrating the matcha. The result is a smoother, more even bowl with a fine crema on top.
Do I need a whisk holder?
It is optional but strongly recommended. The ceramic dome shape reshapes the whisk prongs as they dry so they stay separated rather than collapsing back on themselves. A whisk stored on a holder can last twice as long as one dropped in a drawer wet.
How much matcha does a bamboo scoop hold?
One full scoop is roughly 1 gram of matcha, which is half a standard serve. A traditional bowl uses two scoops (2 grams) whisked with 60 to 70 ml of hot water at around 80°C. A bamboo scoop is better than a metal spoon for fine matcha powder because bamboo does not build up static that clumps the powder.
What is your matcha whisk made of?
Bamboo, with around 100 fine prongs. Bamboo is the traditional material because it aerates matcha without breaking the fine powder, does not build up static, and does not scratch the bowl. Nothing else works quite as well for whisking a proper bowl.
