Terrible sifter, beautiful aesthetic

The set is beautiful. I've wanted a well designed minimalist style matcha set for a long time, but I just couldn't find one before. This set is beautiful to the eye. I love the tray. That said, some of the pieces aren't functional. The sifter is the worst sifter tool I've ever used. Seriously, I can't believe Fellow released this. The ideal tool for sifting matcha is a fine mesh strainer. This tool is about as far removed from that concept as possible. It's not really even a sifter. It's a sheet of perforated steel. The sifter isn't very deep so it's difficult to keep the matcha from going out of the sides and ultimately results in a lot of wasted matcha powder. The scoop is weirdly short for some reason. It works. I just wish the handle was the standard length of regular matcha scoop. The scoop is not long enough to reach into the bottom of some matcha containers. The whisk holder is heavy and hollow, which I like. However, it's angular shape doesn't fit a whisk well and I'm actually concerned it may break the whisk tines more easily. The bowl is very well made and has the best pour spout I've tested. However, it's just a little bit bigger than it should be. I suspect the set is essentially designed to make you use more matcha than should be necessary so you'll buy more of it.
Design was great, but the sifter and the bowl were suboptimal for making matcha. The traditional sifters that are finer, and a bowl with a slightly rounded and not a flat bottom, are much more effective. The design, however, is lovely.
I really like the way matcha looks with white, so that is why I chose the white variant. comparing to the photo on the website, the mixing bowl is more of a foggy transparent finish, which i ended up liking even better. The style and functionality was really thought out.
