Elegant design that will become a statement piece for your countertop tea station! The black color sold out quickly so I ordered the white, and it is lovely. The packaging was as thoughtfully designed as the tea set.The frosted bowl and stainless steel scoop are perfect for a modern sleek look. I have a matcha bowl and whisk from Japan, but it is nice to have a base that brings everything together in one place. The rubber grippers on the bottom of the base keep it from sliding around on counter and each item fits perfectly in its indentation for security. The whisk is large and good quality, and I don't mind the shorter handle on the scoop. The pour spout on the bowl makes transferring the tea to my handmade drinking bowl a breeze. However, as others have noted, the functionality of the sifter falls short. While the traditional 'wave' design is calming and the thickness of the stainless steel is exceptional, matcha powder tends to block the sifter even when using the recommended gliding rather than pressing motion. This is the only reason for one less star.
I loveee my matcha set it is sooo cute I can leave it out in my countertop and very easy to use. I can keep all my matcha tools in one place. If you love matcha you have to have one.
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.
