Know someone who loves matcha? Whether you’re shopping for a birthday, a Valentine’s Day surprise or a Christmas gift, something for their daily matcha ritual makes a thoughtful present.
From replenishing their favourite matcha powder to helping them make their first latte at home, here are our gift ideas for matcha lovers.
1. Matcha Powder
Can a matcha lover ever have too much matcha? A fresh pouch or tin is sure to bring a smile to their face, especially if they drink it every day.
How long does matcha last? Depends on the pack size and how much they use per serving. Either way, gifting their next refill is a practical way to treat them to something they already love.
Choose a favourite they reach for regularly, or introduce them to something different. Explore matcha powders from different brands around the world.
Not sure which matcha to choose? Explore our matcha cultivar guide to learn about different flavour profiles and find one that suits their taste.
2. Matcha Set
Do you often spot them with a matcha latte from their favourite café, but they haven’t tried making one themselves? A matcha starter set could be the perfect gift.
Having the tools together makes it easier to get started and turn their café order into a ritual they can enjoy at home.
Our Matcha Starter Set is a thoughtful choice for beginners who are ready to start whisking their own matcha.
3. Matcha Bowl
Once someone gets into making matcha at home, the enjoyment often goes beyond the powder. The bowls and accessories become part of the experience, adding personality to their matcha corner.
A matcha bowl, also known as a chawan, is a lovely gift for someone who already has the basics. Choose a colour, shape or finish that reflects their style.
Why would you need an extra matcha bowl? It's useful when the go-to matcha bowl needs washing or is in the dishwasher, when they’re making matcha for a friend, or simply when they fancy a change. Who says you have to stop at one?
4. New Matcha Tools
If they prepare matcha every day, their favourite tools probably get plenty of use. A replacement whisk or a useful addition to their setup can make a thoughtful gift without buying a complete set.
A Bamboo Matcha Whisk
A bamboo matcha whisk or chasen is a practical gift for someone who enjoys preparing matcha.
Whisks wear out with long term use, so a fresh one may be needed if theirs is looking looking like it needs to be replaced.
What are the signs that you need to replace a matcha whisk? There’s no single replacement schedule: it depends on how frequently they use it and how they care for it. But here are a few key signs to look for:
- When many tines of the matcha whisk break off
- The prongs stay permanently splayed or bent, you spot mold or musty odors
- The matcha powder no longer whisks into a fine, smooth foam
A Matcha Whisk Holder
Already gifting a whisk? Pair it with a matcha whisk holder to complete the present.
It’s a useful addition to their matcha corner and a lovely opportunity to choose a colour or design that complements their bowl.
A Matcha Sieve
Do they often complain that their matcha is clumpy? A matcha sieve could be the small upgrade their routine needs.
Sifting the powder before adding water helps break up clumps, making it easier to whisk a smooth drink. It’s a simple, practical gift for beginners and experienced matcha drinkers alike.
A Bamboo Matcha Spoon
A bamboo matcha spoon, known as a chashaku, adds a traditional touch to their setup.
Designed for scooping matcha powder, it makes a lovely small gift on its own or an addition to a bowl, whisk or fresh tin of matcha.
5. Temperature-Controlled Kettle
Looking to spoil your partner, friend, family member or colleague? A temperature-controlled kettle is a thoughtful upgrade for someone who takes their matcha ritual seriously.
It allows them to select the water temperature for their chosen matcha, making preparation more convenient and consistent.
For someone who already has their favourite powder, bowl and whisk, a kettle could be the finishing touch to their matcha corner.
Find a Gift That Fits Their Matcha Ritual
