Everything you need for the perfect matcha ritual — handcrafted ceramics, bamboo tools, and strainer
The matcha bowl, whisk and accessories are artisan-inspired pieces using traditional forms and glazing techniques. Use it to brew our premium matcha which comes from a family-owned tea shop in the heart of Uji — where the art of tea has been lovingly passed down through 16 generations.
After enjoying cold Uji tea every morning during my stay in Japan last October, I finally prepared my own (hot) Uji matcha with the Uji Serenity tea set from Living Roots. It was much simpler than I had envisioned.I have some fine tuning to do, to balance the right amount of water with the right amount of delicious matcha powder, to cultivate my M or W pattern with the whisk and, so, attain the perfect froth. The flavor rich, robust, and a little indelicate (my fault, with the improper proportions). But it was definitely good enough to keep working at it, and the goal of a perfect serving of matcha is in sight. The tea set is complete, elegant, and of high quality. Living Roots knows what it’s doing.
Thank you for such a thoughtful review. The ratio-and-whisk dance is the fun part - every bowl teaches you something, and Uji starts coming through more clearly as you dial it in. We're so glad the set is earning its place on your counter, and that a morning in Japan now has a home version waiting. Keep at the W.
