Chafinity
Organic Matcha Essentials
Editor’s Notes:
Chafinity’s matcha set—complete with a matcha whisk and scoop, and organic stone-ground green tea—brings the essentials of the age-old Japanese tradition into the comfort of your own home.
Rooted in Japanese tradition, Chafinity aspires to create exceptional experiences through the healing power of organic matcha. Grown on a small family farm, their collections prize quality over mass production to provide customers with the freshest tea, harvested only once a year.
Includes: 30 grams of organic stone-ground green tea, or matcha gokoro, one 100-prong chasen matcha whisk, and one chashaku matcha scoop
Organic matcha gokoro: premium, certified organic gyokuro green tea leaves meticulously stone-ground to perfection. Plants go through a double shading process before harvest and then are steamed to prevent oxidation. Next, they are hand-rolled to break down the cell walls. Finally, the stems, buds, and leaves are sorted and filtered to powderize the tea leaves into matcha using a traditional Japanese stone mill.
Chasen matcha whisk: each whisk starts from one piece of bamboo and is hand-carved into 100 fine bristles by Chafinity’s master artisans. Before whisking, the chasen acts as a bamboo “brush”, blending in all of the loose powder remaining on the sides of the bowl. Creating an “M” motion, the chasen is then used to further break down the Matcha powder. Made in Japan from 100 percent bamboo.
Chashaku matcha scoop: designed to sift out any clumps through a strainer, the chashaku matcha scoop has a sleek bamboo body for an effortless, clean scoop. Each is made from 100 percent bamboo and handcrafted by master artisans from Nara, Japan.
Usage instructions for matcha gokoro: pour hot water into the chawan, or tea bowl, to warm up the vessel. Pour out water and wipe bowl clean. Scoop two grams of matcha gokoro and sift. Pour over two ounces of hot water at 80 degrees Celsius. Begin whisking in a rapid back-and-forth motion until frothy. Ease your speed and gently lift whisk off foam starts to set.
Care instructions for matcha gokoro: keep refrigerated after opening. Utilize the provided plastic lid for an airtight seal. Avoid oxygen exposure as much as possible.
Care instructions for chasen matcha whisk and chashaku matcha scoop: to wash your whisk or scoop, gently rinse with warm water or sieve with your hands. Hand pick out any remaining residue. Dry the whisk or scoop using either a chasen whisk stand or wipe with a tea towel. Store somewhere cool and dry.
