Bamboo Matcha Whisk and Bowl Set - Authentic Matcha Kit for Traditional Tea, 9 Pcs

This set is a great value. There are other sets on Amazon with less pieces for the same cost.Overall, the stuff that's actually "useful" are the bowl, the chashaku /scoop, the sifter, the whisk, and the whisk stand. The whisk stand is totally necessary, but it's nice to sit it on and let it dry there. It also can make it more of a subtle display piece in your kitchen, depending how you have things organized.Everything looks exactly as it is pictured. The cup/bowl is really what had me eyeing this set. I also liked the two-tone aesthetic of the whisk compared to most other whisks that are a simple light bamboo color. This gives it a little more character. It works great too.The sifter works very well with the curvature of the chashaku. You can easily press your matches into it and get a perfectly broken up powder into the bowl.The little duck rest is super cute, but not necessary. It is basically a chopstick rest, though, and could be used for that purpose as well. The cloth is also not so necessary, but can be nice if you're not the best at keeping the counter clean. It's a good looking cloth with a traditional Japanese aesthetic.The box and packaging is very simple and doesn't try to be beautiful. The little paper 'ribbon' on the outside if the most lavish thing about it, but this is good IMO. I like that the packaging uses thin/light materials that are easily recyclable and isn't wasteful. This also surely kept the cost of the package down. It might not make the most impressive unboxing experience, but the set will still make a great gift for anyone who is into Japanese culture, tea drinking, or may want to get into it.

My kit arrived 2 days ago, and i love it. The little duck arrived without a beak...but I love it. Everything else is substantial quality. I have made the matcha Encha ceremonial grade tea for my husband and I twice so far, and the kit had everything I needed and more. The tea towel is very pretty with real embroidery (not just printed on). The strainer, bowl, bamboo whisk and ceramic holder, and the bamboo scoop exceeded my expectations. The little duck is so cute, cute,cute....even with a broken beak. If the rest of it’s beak had been in the box, I would have glued it back on. Bottom line, this is a great set for the money, and the little duck has a forever home.

So if you own a tea shop and you want to be traditional then buy this. However for the average person like me it was unnecessary. Just get one of those milk frothing things it’s less time consuming. I still gave it 5 stars because it’s wonderful quality and very beautiful however I returned it and got a 10$ frother

Gave it 3 stars only because this bowl came broken. I cannot say if this was broken from the start or during shipping but being that it seems to be a common occurrence it also came to my attention that yes the bowl is bubble wrap “lightly” the packaging on the outside was not marked fragile anywhere so they probably didn’t handle with care.I am excited to us this set, but I really wanted the bowl. I’m going to trying using Gorilla glue and hope it can fix it.If you are ordering this it seems you should not expected the bowl to come in one piece.

Its a starter set. That gives you all the essentials. My only wish was that the bowl was deeper to make bigger portions.

the whisk is good, and the other pieces are great. the bowl doesn’t work to whisk the match in bc it’s too small and the bottom is curved as opposed to the preferred flat surface, other than that this is s great set for the value.

My wife would make a mean matcha latte, unfortunately I'm attending training and wasn't able to enjoy any until she sent this to me along with some matcha powder. This set is perfect! It has everything I needed to make my very own matcha latte. The Bowl is the perfect size and the wisk and holder are super easy to use and clean. The little spoon and duck spoon holder look really nice on my kitchen counter. Overall a great set with everything I needed.

Purchased as a birthday gift. All pieces were there.High quality material! Highly recommend.
