SET OF 2, CRISP MATCHA + SHAKER
SHAKER SET - WATERLINE
Waterline and the shaker. Cold matcha without a whisk, wherever the morning goes.
Details
Waterline is the crisp one. Clean and structured, with enough backbone to stay itself in milk, which is what makes it the easiest of the three to drink cold. The shaker is how you get there without a bowl. Its base is moulded with a raised fin that breaks the powder apart the way the tips of a chasen would, so 20 seconds of shaking leaves nothing to strain out. It sits in one hand, holds about 100ml, and is the only thing you rinse afterwards.
Who makes it
The tea house
A family house in Shizuoka that has made nothing but tea since the 1800s, from the years when Japan was first opening to the outside world. The fourth generation runs it now. The house has taken first place at the Tokyo and Shizuoka tea competitions, including an award from Japan's Minister of Agriculture, and its head blender has won the national tea appraisal championship.
How it is blended
Blending is the whole craft. Soil, shade, harvest date and how far the drying is taken all move the flavour, and no two lots repeat, so a chashi works through the year's harvests by taste and builds each blend against a target. Nothing about it is automated.

What's inside
One 30g can of Waterline, about 15 bowls, and one shaker. Buying them together saves you €5.
How to enjoy
Shake it cold for the everyday glass, or whisk it hot in a bowl. Both methods are below under How to drink.
Traceability
Ceremonial Grade, House Blend from Kagoshima, Shizuoka and Miyazaki, Japan. Milled and canned in September 2026. We buy in small lots and fill 30g cans, so the tin you open has been open to air for as short a time as we can manage.
Storage
Keep the lid on tight and the can somewhere cool and dark, away from anything with a strong smell. The powder comes in a sealed bag inside the can. Leave it in the bag, or tip it into the can and put the lid back on. Either way works. Once it is open, drink it within a few weeks. Matcha gives up its aroma to air faster than most teas.

How to drink
Before the inbox. Before the noise.
01Dose
2g
Two level scoops, about 2g.
Making a latte? Take 5g. Some like it stronger. You’ll know by the second cup.
02Water
80°C / 60ml
Boil the kettle, then let it stand a minute.
Tannins are what make matcha bite, and the hotter the water the faster they come out. At 80 degrees they hold back.
03Whisk
15sec
Back and forth in an M shape.
Your arm doesn’t move. Only the wrist. The speed of the tips decides how fine the foam gets.
04Sip
Now
Drink it while the foam is still standing.
Lift the whisk straight up out of the centre. It won’t wait for you.
Straight
Two level scoops of powder, about 2g, into 60ml of water at 80°C. Whisk for 15 seconds, until the foam closes over the surface. The recipe is the same for every can in the range.
HotDrink it from the bowl while the foam is still standing.
IcedWhisk it the same way, then pour it over a full glass of ice.
Latte
Take 5g of powder and whisk it with 150ml of water at 80°C first. Pour 150ml of milk or alt milk into the glass, then pour the matcha over it from the bowl, so it keeps its texture.
HotWarm the milk before it goes in and it will hold the foam.
IcedCold milk straight from the fridge, poured over ice.
New to matcha? A little agave syrup softens the edges.

Can I swap the tea in the set?
Each set is fixed, but the other two sets are one click away, and The Trio brings all three cans together.
Can I use hot water in the shaker?
Yes, as long as it stays under 80°C. Water or hot water below 80°C both work; cold with ice makes the everyday cup.
How should I store it?
