Song Dynasty Style Matcha Whisked Tea Ceremony Set
£95.00
Step back a thousand years into the golden age of tea. Long before Matcha became a global phenomenon, the scholars and Emperors of China’s Song Dynasty (960–1279 AD) perfected the "Dian Cha" (Whisked Tea) ceremony.
This curated masterpiece is not just a tea set; it is a bridge to antiquity. Whether you are a Matcha connoisseur or a collector of fine Eastern art, this set provides the authentic tools to perform a ritual once reserved for the imperial court.
The 6-Piece Collection Includes:
The Jian Zhan (Tenmoku) Tea Bowl: The soul of the set. High-fired at 1300°C, this iron-rich ceramic features a natural "Hare’s Fur" or "Oil Spot" glaze. In the Song Dynasty, black bowls were prized above all else to contrast the milky-white tea froth. No two bowls are identical.
The Long-Neck Ewer (Water Spout): An elegant vessel designed for the "Point of Pour." Its slender spout allows for precise, rhythmic water control—essential for creating the perfect froth.
The Hand-Carved Bamboo Whisk (100-Prong): Crafted from a single piece of premium bamboo. The high prong count ensures a delicate, cloud-like foam, replicating the ancient "Snowy Froth" aesthetic.
The Ceramic Whisk Holder: A sculptural stand to maintain the whisk’s flared shape and ensure even drying, preserving its artisanal integrity.
The Airtight Tea Caddy: A minimalist jar to protect your precious tea powder from light and oxidation, keeping the aroma as fresh as the first harvest.
The Traditional Tea Scoop: A hand-sanded bamboo scoop designed for the perfect measurement, turning every preparation into a mindful ritual.
