Matcha Brewing Kit | An authentic matcha kit to start your matcha journey at the dining table

A kit from the UK that makes it easy to enjoy authentic matcha

The tea ceremony is a traditional Japanese art form that represents Japan. As a cultural practice, the tea ceremony focuses on the act of "making tea" to create overall beauty and foster a high level of spirituality.

Matcha, which is used in the tea ceremony, has become synonymous with Japanese flavors and is now used in many drinks and sweets.

Many people might say, "I like matcha lattes and matcha sweets, but I've never tasted matcha itself."

Introducing the Matcha Brewing Kit from the UK, which allows you to easily enjoy the taste of matcha itself and the comfort it brings at home.

What is Matchæologist®?

Matchæologist® is a brand founded by a businessman living in the UK who was fascinated by matcha. To preserve the art of making good matcha, the brand aims to encourage more people to enjoy matcha in their daily lives.

The modern interpretation of the traditional Japanese art of tea ceremony from a contemporary overseas perspective is very fresh, and the modern design that allows you to enjoy matcha at the dining table is eye-catching.

The founder's encounter with matcha

The founder of Matchæologist®, who was working as a banker in London, England, suddenly questioned his daily life, which was consumed by work. So, to re-evaluate his way of life, he went to train at a Zen temple in Japan.

There, he encountered the world of matcha. At Zen temples, matcha is consumed before training and meditation.

The more he learned about matcha, the more deeply impressed he became by its taste and philosophy, and after returning to the UK, he established Matchæologist®.

Design for enjoying matcha beautifully

The glass bowl, designed by a British designer, is inspired by "floating clouds." The vibrant green stands out within its beautiful curves.

Its double-layered, heat-retaining structure also makes it easy to use, as you don't feel the heat directly.

The tea whisk, perfectly suited for the glass bowl, is a stirrer type. It can also be used with mugs. It's easy to handle and feels good in the hand.

Since both the glass bowl and the tea whisk are handmade one by one, no two are exactly alike.

Carefully selected matcha, with only 20g produced per hour

The matcha used in the Matcha Brewing Kit is matsu™. It is a mild and easy-to-drink blend chosen so that foreigners can easily enjoy it every day.

The fine powder, ground from hand-picked tea leaves from Uji, Kyoto City, is said to produce only 20g per hour.

Recommended times to drink matcha

At the start of the day or before work

The effects of matcha last gently for a long time. Drinking it before breakfast or work can help you start the day feeling refreshed.

During relaxation time

When you're feeling frustrated or anxious from daily life, the process of preparing matcha and its rich aroma will help you regain a sense of calm.

When you want to deepen your yoga or meditation practice

When you want to delve deeply into yoga or meditation, let matcha assist you. It will help you calm your mind and focus.

Various ways to enjoy matcha

Try making your own matcha

Prepare 70ml of hot water at 70-80°C. Put two scoops of matcha powder into the glass bowl, and pour in a small amount of hot water. Whisk quickly back and forth with the tip of the tea whisk, incorporating air and eliminating clumps.

Once the clumps are gone and foam appears, pour in the remaining hot water. If you let the matcha attached to the whisk flow down at this point, the foam will remain longer.

Matcha latte for a relaxing evening

Add 2g of tea leaves, 65ml of hot water, and milk to a glass, and it's done. Mixing with milk adds richness and makes it easier to drink. Making frothed milk with a milk frother is also recommended.

Cold matcha on hot spring or summer days

The staff's top recommendation is "cold matcha"!

Simply put 2-3g of tea leaves and 80-100ml of water into a tumbler and shake. By cold brewing, the bitterness becomes milder, allowing you to enjoy the sweetness of the tea leaves even more. It's easy to drink and perfect for hot days.

Even matcha beginners can enjoy it with style.

The sophisticated packaging and set contents are also popular as gifts.

Drinking matcha is not just about enjoying the taste; it can also be an opportunity to experience a glimpse of Japanese aesthetics and spirituality. Why not give such an opportunity as a gift?
