A speckled stoneware bowl with a pouring lip, a bamboo whisk of around a hundred prongs, a ceramic stand to dry the whisk on, a bamboo scoop, a long bamboo spoon and a fine mesh sifter. That is the full set, and it is the difference between matcha that froths properly and matcha that sits in clumps at the bottom of a mug.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1051\/4359\/9452\/files\/hf_20260907_223135_eb60684d-1f0f-4378-ac00-a4bad542d421.png?v=1788820877\" alt=\"All six pieces of the matcha set laid out on a limestone worktop\"\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the pieces matter\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sifter breaks up the powder before water touches it, which is where clumping starts. The bowl is wide and shallow so the whisk can move properly, and the lip means you pour rather than tip. The whisk stand is the piece people skip and then regret: bamboo prongs dry bent and eventually snap, and standing the whisk on a former keeps its shape and lets air through the middle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy you will love it\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplete from the first cup\u003c\/strong\u003e - nothing else to buy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpeckled stoneware bowl\u003c\/strong\u003e - 14cm wide with a pouring lip, cream glaze mottled with dark brown.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhisk stand included\u003c\/strong\u003e - keeps the bamboo in shape and dry between uses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFine mesh sifter\u003c\/strong\u003e - stainless steel, and the thing that actually stops clumping.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNatural bamboo\u003c\/strong\u003e - whisk, scoop and spoon, no plastic.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArrives boxed\u003c\/strong\u003e - it makes an obvious gift, which is how most of these are bought.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1051\/4359\/9452\/files\/hf_20260907_223421_3373fa2b-fd53-4c0e-8c8c-a6326d2d9b4c.png?v=1788820878\" alt=\"Bamboo whisk standing on its ceramic holder to dry\"\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSizes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatcha bowl - 14cm across, 8cm tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhisk - 10.7cm tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhisk holder - 7cm tall, 5cm across\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBamboo scoop - 16cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBamboo spoon - 17.8cm, bowl 3cm across\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSifter - 19cm long, 7cm across\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1051\/4359\/9452\/files\/hf_20260907_223915_7902b5a5-e0f0-43bb-97e7-b0675858fd91.png?v=1788820877\" alt=\"Matcha bowl measurements, 14cm across and 8cm tall\"\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSet contents:\u003c\/strong\u003e bowl, whisk, whisk holder, scoop, spoon, sifter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e ceramic stoneware, natural bamboo and stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBowl:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14cm diameter, 8cm height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e gift box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRinse the whisk in warm water straight after use, never with soap, and stand it on its holder to dry.
