Matcha
Matcha is a green tea powder obtained by slowly grinding shade-grown leaves.
Unlike other teas, it is not steeped: it is whisked with hot water in a bowl until a fine foam forms.
The gesture is old, codified in the Japanese tradition of the tea ceremony. It requires few tools but a particular attention: a wide stable bowl, a bamboo whisk - the chasen -, a holder, a scoop.
At Hollin, matcha is understood first as a practice. A brief but whole moment, where preparation matters as much as drinking. The powder settles; the water grazes it; the wrist finds its rhythm.
We gather here the essential tools to prepare it, chosen for their precision rather than their ornament. To use daily, or as a pause within the day.
Why this selection
Matcha is not an isolated product: it is a gesture. We have brought together here a powder chosen for its softness and its traditional tools - a coherent set rather than a catalogue. The House prefers a practice over an object, and seeks matchas whose foam forms cleanly, without imposed bitterness.
