Cede noo Matcha Whisk Set (Sky Blue)

Almost! This 7-piece set includes the bowl, bamboo whisk (chasen), scoop, ceramic holder, sifter, and towel—basically everything except the matcha powder itself. Reviewers love that it's a complete setup right out of the box, especially for beginners who don't want to hunt down individual pieces. The set even includes instructions to get you started, though some users noted they could be more detailed (like mentioning you should 'bloom' the whisk first by soaking it).

The bowl is genuinely stunning—18 reviewers specifically called out the beautiful sky blue glaze. It's a reactive glaze, meaning each bowl has slight variations that make it unique. Beyond looks, the bowl is wide and deep (18oz), which gives you plenty of room for proper whisking technique. The added spout makes pouring into cups much easier, though one person noted it can be a bit clunky if you're pouring into very small teacups.

The whisk is authentic bamboo and most users report good quality, but it's worth knowing that bamboo whisks are somewhat consumable items. One reviewer mentioned their whisk started disintegrating after multiple uses, and another noted theirs had 80 tines instead of the advertised 100. That said, many users found it creates a fast, proper froth and matches the quality of whisks they've bought directly from Japan. Just treat it gently and expect to replace it eventually—that's normal with traditional matcha tools.

Absolutely. Multiple reviewers specifically mentioned this is perfect for beginners. You get everything in one package, the wide bowl is forgiving while you learn your whisking technique, and the price point (typically $15-20) is affordable for experimenting. The instructions cover the basics of preparation and whisking motion. Once you're hooked on matcha, you can always upgrade individual pieces, but this gives you an authentic ceremonial experience from day one.

The sifter is included and functional, but one reviewer found it 'too deep and not wide enough' for comfortable use. Sifting is indeed important for breaking up clumps and getting that smooth, frothy matcha, so you may eventually want a wider, flatter sifter. That said, for a beginner set at this price, having a sifter at all is a bonus—many cheaper sets skip it entirely.

It actually works for both. Experienced users noted the bamboo whisk quality matches what they've used from Japan, the non-flat bowl bottom supports proper traditional whisking technique, and the reactive glaze adds an artisanal touch. The ceramic scoop rest is a nice detail that's often missing from other sets. While serious enthusiasts might eventually want specialized pieces, this set delivers an authentic ceremonial experience at any skill level. Plus, the beautiful presentation makes it a genuinely nice gift for matcha lovers.
