Chiheisen Matcha Gift Set Tableware Brands

The Chiheisen matcha gift set is perfect for green tea drinkers. It has everything you need to recreate the Japanese tea ceremony at home.

Handmade in Japan, the bowl is pale blue with a brown rim. The dark blue stripe is designed to resemble the horizon. Chiheisen means ‘horizon’ in Japanese, referring to the line where the sky meets the earth.

The set includes:

• Glazed porcelain matcha tea bowl
• Bamboo matcha whisk
• Whisk holder
• Chashaku bamboo matcha tea spoon

Matcha is a finely ground green tea powder. It has been enjoyed as part of the Japanese tea ceremony for hundreds of years. Rich in antioxidants, it is said to boost brain health and relieve stress.

For one serving of tea, use the chashaku to measure two scoops of matcha powder into the bowl. Add a splash of hot water and use the whisk to make a paste. Top up with approximately 70ml of hot, not boiling, water. Use the matcha whisk in a vigorous ‘W’ motion until the matcha becomes very frothy. Enjoy immediately.

The Chiheisen matcha bowl set is a great gift for matcha lovers. For a gift that’s ready to enjoy straight away, pair it with some matcha green tea powder.

Please note that the whisk must be soaked to soften the tines before you put it over the stand. It will then shape to the stand.
