Most cheap kits cut corners on the bowl and whisk. Jade Leaf’s ceremony set doesn’t: you get a real ceramic chawan, a proper 100-prong bamboo whisk, a scoop, and a holder, from a brand that also sells good matcha to fill it. It costs more than bare-bones kits, and the bowl runs a little small, but it’s the set we’d actually recommend to someone who wants to do this properly from day one.
