The Starter Set — Ceremonial Matcha Kit for Beginners | MP-01 + Tea Kit

Every practice starts somewhere.

The Starter Set is everything a first-time ceremonial matcha drinker needs — and nothing they don't. We've paired our MP-01 ceremonial grade matcha from Kagoshima, Japan with our complete 8-piece matcha tea kit, so from the moment it arrives, there's nothing left to figure out.

MP-01 is the ideal introduction to ceremonial matcha. Rich in umami, balanced in bitterness, and bold enough to taste distinctly different from anything sold in a grocery store — it's the matcha that makes first-timers understand what the conversation is actually about. And because it's stone-milled to order, it arrives at peak freshness. Not months old. Ground for you.

The tea kit gives you everything needed to prepare it properly: a ceramic chawan (matcha bowl), a bamboo chasen (whisk), a chashaku (bamboo scoop), and the essential tools that turn preparation from a mystery into a ritual.

— WHO IT'S FOR —

The Starter Set was built for three kinds of people: someone giving a gift to a curious friend who keeps talking about wanting to try real matcha; someone beginning their own daily practice and wanting to start with everything in place; or anyone who has only had café matcha and wants to know what the real thing actually tastes like.

All sourced and paired to work together from day one.

— HOW TO BREW —

Sift 1g of MP-01 into your warmed chawan. Add 60–70ml of water at 75–80°C. Whisk in a brisk W-motion until a fine foam forms. A full preparation guide is included in the kit.

— CARE —

Chasen: Rinse with warm water after each use. Never soap. Air dry on the kusenaoshi.
Chawan: Hand-wash only. Do not microwave.
Matcha: Store in a cool, dry place. Best consumed within 6 weeks of opening.
