5 Piece Matcha Set

Unlocking Zen with Slumber Society: Your Matcha Tea Ceremony Adventure

At Slumber Society, we believe in embracing the spirit of the Japanese tea ceremony – mindfulness, connection, and a damn good cup of matcha.

Ready to embark on a journey of tranquility and taste? Here’s your guide to a Slumber Society matcha ceremony:

1. Set the Stage:

Find your Zen zone:

No need for a traditional tea room. Any cozy corner will do – your bedroom, a sun-drenched balcony, your favourite spot in the garden.

Embrace simplicity:

Clear away clutter and distractions. A clean, uncluttered space fosters a clear mind.

Cue the calm:

Play some soothing music, light a candle, or diffuse essential oils to create a tranquil atmosphere.

2. Gather Your Tools:

Unleash your inner artist:

This is where your Slumber Society 5-Piece Matcha Set shines! Admire the craftsmanship of the chasen (whisk), the one of kind construction and lines of the chawan (bowl), and the delicate beauty of the chasen holder.

Prepare your matcha:Sift your vibrant Slumber Society matcha using the sieve for a lump-free experience.

3. The Ritual Begins:

Warm the bowl:

Gently rinse the chawan and chasen with hot water to awaken its spirit (and prevent your matcha from cooling too quickly).

Whisking wonders:

Add a scoop of matcha to the bowl, then a small amount of hot water (around 80°C or 176°F – not boiling!). Using your chasen, whisk briskly in a zig-zag motion until a frothy layer forms.

Savour the moment:

Hold the chawan with both hands, inhale the earthy aroma, and take a sip. Notice the vibrant green colour and the unique umami flavour.

4. Beyond the Bowl:

Share the experience:

Invite a friend or loved one to join you. Conversation flows freely in a Slumber Society tea ceremony, filled with laughter and shared moments of peace.

Embrace imperfection:

Don't stress about "perfect" technique to start with. The beauty lies in the process to ensure a nice frothy matcha.

Find your flow:

Experiment with different water temperatures, matcha ratios, and whisking styles to discover your perfect cup.

TOP TIP: If the water is too hot it can make the matcha astringent. Bring out the Tea Master in you and play with the process until you get the formula right. Matcha has so many health benefits and when made properly it is absolutely delicious.
