Making a Table to Whisk, Sip, and Share
At a formal tea gathering, you usually enjoy just one sweet before your matcha. But when you're setting the table at home, you have the freedom to make it a little more personal—and a little more fun. You can lay out a few different sweets to try, choose a matcha bowl that fits your mood, and take your time whisking, tasting, and sharing.
This easy, thoughtful spread gives you everything you need: a simple chasen whisk, a natsume tea container filled with sifted matcha tea, a chashaku tea scoop, and a small cast iron pot with hot water.
From colorful jelly wagashi to the fish-shaped soft waka-ayu that hints at early summer, having a few sweets on hand makes the occasion even more enjoyable.
Matcha Bowls in Colors of Spring Sakura
And of course, what would a table for matcha be without a matcha bowl? With so many shapes, colors, and designs out there, choosing one can feel overwhelming at first. That’s why we picked a few simple, meaningful pieces for our tea table—bowls that are easy to use, full of seasonal spirit, and bright enough to light up your table without feeling too formal.
A matcha bowl inspired by cherry blossoms bathed in twilight—the Twilight Blossom expresses the subtle shift from day to night. A gentle pink crowns the rim, softening into rich shades of purple and blue below. The open, easy-to-hold shape makes it a great match for beginners learning to whisk matcha.
If you’re drawn to brighter tones, the Blossom & Gold Matcha Bowl offers a blend of popping yellow with a band of pink.
Or, for a lighter look, the Blossom Mist Matcha Bowl offers a muted pink shade—perfect for pairing with spring sweets and lighter matcha.
It doesn’t take much to make matcha part of your day—just a few simple tools, a table ready for something a little different, and fine, fragrant matcha powder waiting to be whisked into something bright and fresh. With a few easy steps, this refreshing and rich tea becomes a small, welcome part of everyday life.
