Maccha Starter Kit (with Maccha) | JagaSilk

Everything you need to make smooth, café-style maccha at home: a fresh, flavuorful production blend, the right tools for sifting + whisking, and a bowl that’s sized for a daily ritual.

What’s included

• Maccha Okuyutaka Blend by Takaki (40g) — a blend of Okuyutaka / Yabukita / Okumidori / Saemidori, grown kabuse-style for depth, brightness, and an approachable finish. Tasting notes: dandelion, toasted rice, sweet melon, violet. Harvested May 2025 in Hoshinomura, Fukuoka (Japan) and fresh-milled in Victoria, BC.

• Origami Katate Matcha Bowl (Small, 230 mL) — porcelain, made in Japan, designed to be held in one hand with a subtle lip indentation for comfortable sipping; microwave + dishwasher safe, heat resistant to 120°C.

• Zheng Chasen (bamboo whisk) — made in China by Mr. Yang — an excellent starter whisk for enthusiasts; the “important parts” are cut in Changsha, Hunan.

• Chasennaoshi (whisk stand) — helps maintain the whisk’s shape between uses and while drying.

• Stainless Tea Strainer (sieve) — the shop’s go-to sieve for quick maccha/tea prep; durable stainless steel, with dimensions approx. W3 × L6.9 in (7.5 × 17.5 cm) and handle length ~3.3 in (8.5 cm). 

Why this kit works

Sifting breaks up clumps, whisking builds a fine foam and smooth texture, and a stand helps your whisk dry and keep its shape—so each bowl comes out more consistent.

(Tip: sift your maccha first, then whisk briskly until glossy and foamy. Rinse the whisk with water only, shake dry, and store on the stand.)
