Yu-Chabako Red & Wave Pattern Matcha Tea Set

Everything you need for a Japanese tea ceremony in one beautiful box. The Yu-Chabako series is a luxurious matcha tea set that elegantly integrates traditional Yamanaka lacquerware craftsmanship with modern versatility.

This set includes a matcha bowl chawan, a natsume (matcha container), a chashaku (tea scoop), a round plate, a chasen matcha whisk, a matcha whisk holder, a small furoshiki cloth, and a decorative paulownia wood box. The lid of the box doubles as a tray, marked with the positions of each tea ceremony item. Painted an elegant red with traditional Japanese wave patterns, the box is beautiful even when not in use.

The chawan is made of lustrous Japanese zelkova wood. It's gorgeous natural grain subtly catches the light, drawing out different aspects of the wood when viewed from different angles. Silky smooth to the touch, with gentle curves designed to cradle the fingers, this is a tea bowl you’ll want to reach for again and again.

Light, compact, and conveniently portable, this tea set allows for easy preparation of matcha in any of your favorite places, including outdoors on a fine day. The natsume has an inner plastic lid that prevents matcha powder from spilling, even when carried or moved. The chasen comes (and is best stored) separately from the box to help it hold its shape, but it can be inserted into the matcha whisk holder for easy transport.

Highly recommended for those new to preparing matcha, those looking to easily assemble a complete matcha set, and those who want a set that's easy to carry so they can enjoy matcha anywhere.

This would also make a very special gift for a tea ceremony beginner or a Japanese culture enthusiast.
