Glass: a new choice that makes even the moments before drinking a beautiful experience.
Matcha tools bring ceramics to mind.Rethinking matcha tools through the perspective of ORIGAMI Tea today.
“Matcha tools mean ceramics.”
That image has been shaped over many years.
Yet today’s cafés and everyday spaces are becoming lighter and more open.
With this in mind, we reconsidered the question, “What kind of matcha tools suit the way we live today?”—starting with our choice of material. While ceramics offer warmth and texture, glass has a clean, light and neutral presence.
It fits naturally into any space or interior, including café settings in Japan and around the world.
Moving beyond assumptions about what matcha tools should be, we explored forms that fit contemporary spaces. That exploration led us to glass.
Turning the act of whisking into an expression.
The movement of the bamboo whisk, visible through the glass.
The process of matcha blending and foam forming.
This once-hidden sequence becomes an expression in its own right, before the drink is served. Experiencing matcha includes the moments before drinking, too. We have given that value a tangible form.
A form that brings each movement together beautifully.
The spouted shape is designed to connect whisking and pouring smoothly.
More than a shape alone, it brings order to the process of preparing matcha, making the whole sequence of movements beautiful. The design considers the movements of the person using it, too.
Making matcha more open.
Respecting traditional practices and values, while embracing greater freedom and a more contemporary approach.
By reconsidering how matcha is expressed, beginning with the choice of materials, ORIGAMI Tea offers a matcha experience suited to the way we live today.
Designing temperature and appearance as part of the experience.
Taking the matcha experience one step further.
The spouted shape is designed to connect whisking and pouring smoothly.
It helps prevent drips, allowing you to pour comfortably down to the last drop.
It also works naturally for lattes and other variations, expanding the ways you can enjoy matcha.
The double-wall construction helps maintain the temperature while keeping the outside from becoming too hot, for comfortable use.
It also helps reduce condensation, preserving the beauty of the space around it.
The layer of air within the glass creates a visual effect that makes the matcha appear to float.
A modern design that brings function and beauty together.
Keeping your whisk beautifully shaped.
If a bamboo whisk is left to dry on its own after use, the tines can close inward, diminishing their natural flexibility.
Placing it on a whisk stand allows it to dry with the tines naturally spread out, helping preserve its beautiful shape so you can continue using it for longer.
Clear, neutral glass blends quietly into any space or interior.
Although it is a matcha tool, it has a light, contemporary presence.
It feels equally at home on a café counter or in your kitchen.
The beauty of a coordinated glass set.
Coordinating your tools brings harmony to everyday experiences, too.
Paired with the Glass Katakuchi Matcha Bowl, the time you spend with matcha takes on a more refined feel.
Whisking, pouring, caring for your tools—
the whole sequence comes together as one beautiful scene.
A cup of matcha is beautiful even before it is ready.
Whisking, pouring, caring for your tools.
Every movement connects as part of a single experience.
The choice of glass takes your time with matcha one step further.
