Matcha Tea Ceremony Tools!

Perhaps you’re looking for a morning alternative to coffee this year? Look no further than the awesome benefits of a very ancient ritual known as the match tea ceremony. This ceremony involves the tools listed above as well as a matcha bowl and of course the tea known as Matcha!

We’ll talk more about the Matcha Tea Ceremony itself in a later post, but for now let me inform you more about the above tools used in the matcha tea ceremony.

Bamboo Tea Whisk

The bamboo tea whisk is the authentic tool for preparing a perfect cup of Matcha. Used skillfully, whisking in a zig zag motion, the whisk will give your Matcha a smooth and frothy consistency, heightening this flavorful experience.

Bamboo Tea Scoop

The bamboo tea scoop is the authentic tool used for scooping matcha from its tea tin to the matcha bowl. Bamboo is used to allow a tea enthusiast to prepare tea without breaking or damaging tea leaves or spoiling the tea with the natural oils from their hand.

Bamboo Water Scoop

The bamboo water scoop or ladle is the authentic tool used for scooping water from the kettle and pouring it over matcha tea.

These tools pictured above are the authentic tools used to perform your own Matcha Tea Ceremony. Using quality tools is essential to achieving the best results of the tea ceremony. I personally purchase all of my tea utensils, tea, and tea pots from Blue Dragon Tea House in San Diego, CA. Sometimes not all of their products are on their website so it is good to call them to see what they have in stock.

Happy New Year!
