Matcha tea equipment test 2023

The Matcha tea equipment from Dimono® is a high-quality and authentic set for the traditional Matcha ceremony.
Matcha, a fine green tea powder, is considered the most exclusive and powerful form of tea and has been revered since the Tang Dynasty. The tea ceremony, an art of tea drinking, is celebrated in Japan with matcha tea. The set contains a bamboo whisk with which the matcha is whisked into a delicious foam in hot water. The tea pots are made in the traditional Japanese way from fired clay, which provides a smooth surface and does not affect the taste of the tea. The heated clay also retains the heat evenly for a long time, so that the matcha in the teacup remains pleasantly warm.
The use of high-quality bamboo wood for the tea whisk guarantees an authentic and tasty tea experience. Unlike conventional metal whisks, which can leave a bitter taste, the bamboo whisk preserves the purity of the matcha tea.
The use of natural materials such as bamboo and clay underlines the quality of the product. Overall, Dimono® matcha tea equipment offers an authentic and aesthetic way to enjoy the fascinating matcha tea ceremony with traditional materials.

ℹ️ Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

The matcha tea equipment from Dimono® makes a good impression at first glance.
It has been packed safely and carefully to avoid any possible damage during transportation.
The four-piece set is equipped with a bamboo whisk, a measuring spoon and two clay pots.
The packaging in the shipping box was large enough to accommodate the tea set and another product from the brand next to the set. Cardboard as filling material in the large shipping package and bubble wrap around the shipping box of the tea set protected the fragile clay pots.
Styrofoam was used in the product package itself to keep the individual parts stable.
Although the overall protection of the packaging is good, a more sustainable design could be sought, e.g. by avoiding the use of polystyrene.
The instructions supplied with the tea equipment are easy to understand and available in three languages (German, English, French). The instructions are simply worded and are supplemented by clear pictures that make it easier to use the tea utensils.
This makes it easy even for beginners to the matcha tea ceremony to use the set correctly and enjoy the tea ceremony to the full.
