The First Foray Set – Matcha is a simple starting point for daily matcha. It pairs Higashiyama-en’s Goryoku, a vibrant, umami rich matcha from Nishio, with a clear 300ml glass tumbler by Italian maker Bormioli Rocco.
Goryoku is selected for clarity, structure and everyday strength. Its sweet milk chocolate aroma and smooth vegetal depth give it enough presence to drink straight, while carrying beautifully through milk and iced preparation.
Designed to nestle comfortably in your hand, the tumbler’s curved form and smooth rim make sipping natural and balanced. The clear glass highlights the matcha’s vivid green hue, allowing colour, texture and suspension to be fully appreciated from whisk to final sip.
Together, tea and vessel turn the simple act of preparation into something deliberate. Whether whisked traditionally or poured over ice, the structure of Goryoku remains clear and composed.
A practical place to begin, and a reliable foundation for daily matcha.
