PureChimp Modern Matcha Set – Starter Kit with Electric Matcha Whisk, 50 Grams of Japanese Matcha, and Stainless Steel Measuring Spoon

This was the first time I've tried matcha, which is why I got a set. All my mugs are flat on the bottom, so I figured the traditional bamboo whisk would not work so well; a flat-bottomed frother seemed the perfect solution. The matcha itself I found to be tasty (not bitter) and smooth (no grit). The frother works great, but after using it several times, I noticed that the glaze on the inside of my mugs was getting damaged by it. (See the gray ring around the bottom in the photo?). There were no instructions saying not to let it touch the surface of the mug, but there should have been! (This was my first frother, too.) I highly recommend this set. Just be careful with the frother.

I've recently been on a matcha kick. After trying this one I havent been able to go back to my old one because it tastes so bitter in comparison. This PureChimp matcha is really savory and I dont even use a sweetener with it.

We started using instant cappuccino recently, and my husband suggested we try matcha too. He loves it, but I'm pretty indifferent. I like it when I'm feeling like I need something a little healthier. BUT this little frothy mixer thing is brilliant. Makes my matcha or cappuccinos super frothy and amazing. I had no clue it was so simple to have beautiful velvety foaminess every single day, in a matter of seconds. Mixing powders in cold water first is key. Update: :( my little mixer doesn't work anymore.

Grab a cup and this is all you need to get started with matcha. Color is a bright green and the taste (or smell as probably few actually compared taste with grass?) is grassy as expected. I did get a few cups with a very slight pinch of bitterness. Perhaps it's from being in a transparent container that's had to go to the UK first. However, pricing for the jar individually is very competitive. The whisk works great and shows why it's needed. Even with the high RPMs, it takes a good 10+ seconds to get the mixture smooth. I sometimes need to graze the bottom of the cup to get rid of clumps (yea sifters might help but the extra step defeats the convenience of the electric system). Probably the only advantage of bamboo whisks is that it can have contact with the cup without the clanking sound of metal to hard surface. I do think they should've included a stand for the whisk; that would be more convenient (such kits are all about convenience!) than needing to lay it down sideways after usage.

Happy with this product. The matcha isn't as bitter as others I've tried. The whisk is a little weak though.

The tea is great and I love that it comes with the measuring spoon, HOWEVER- the whisk came somewhat damaged and doesn't quite work as it should- and there are no returns accepted. So be aware of that.

I absolutely love this matcha and am so glad I found it!!! I just only wish it came in bigger sizes, I go through it so quick!!! You must buy if your looking for a good matcha!!! :)

I love it. The spoon, blender and matcha powder are great quality.

Great little kit for a no fuss matcha latte in the mornings. Delivery was also very fast!

This is the first time I've tried matcha tea.....turns out I really love it. I love the fact it comes with its own spoon and mixer so I'd recommend this to anyone. Obviously my next purchase will just be the tea itself now so this is a great starter kit to buy first. The tea is so light and easy to blend so it makes a delicious drink, I have mine with unsweetened almond milk if anyone is unsure on what milk product to use with it. Just add a small amount of water to the tea first to start blending then add your hot milk. Makes a lovely brew!

I got this set since I wanted both the matcha and the little whisk and I love it! The powder is very vibrant, which I looked for because from what I've read, that is a sign of a good quality matcha. The whisk is quite powerful which surprised me and it worked very well. The only thing is that I gave it a 4/5 for value because I bought it for £15 on sale which I thought was better than the £22 I see now but that varies on people. Overall, this is a very cute little set for people who want to casually sip on some matcha tea and enjoy the making process :)

Tasty matcha and the measurement spoon is also cute. It measures a nice amount of match for a smaller cup. However, the whisk started to wiggle soon after purchase and does not blend matcha optimally. I contacted Purechimp and they gladly replaced it for me. Very friendly customer service as well! I would maybe go with the bamboo whisk if you want to avoid risking getting a faulty whisk.

Tea is tasty and enjoy using the electrical whisk but dissapointed it stopped working after 1 use (did not wet the electrical part). Can this be exchanged?
