Matcha Shaker
Matcha Shaker
The Matcha Shaker provides an easy way to make frothy Matcha without a bamboo whisk.
"The Matcha Shaker has made my morning ritual of matcha lattes so easy, enjoyable and fun. It is such a treat to whip up frothy lattes in only a few seconds of shaking. It will upgrade your experience if you don't already have one!" (Shannon)
A Bamboo whisk (Chasen) is traditionally used in Japanese Tea Ceremony to blend the tea powder with water.
The Matcha Shaker was designed and manufactured in Japan to offer an easy way to enjoy Matcha without need for a bamboo whisk. It performs the same function as a Bamboo Whisk yet makes for an easy and fuss free way to make a lovely cup of Matcha

Health Benefits
Health Benefits
The health benefits of drinking antioxidant-rich Matcha Green Tea are many.
It provides:
- a natural energy boost which keeps you going all day
- feelings of calm, keeping anxious thoughts & stress away
- improved focus and concentration
- detoxifying which helps fight free radicals and effects of ageing
- help with a healthy immune system
- boosted metabolism and help with weight loss
Let's break it down in a little more detail below so you can see how Matcha can transform your mind and body for the better.
PROVIDES NATURAL ENERGY
- Matcha does contain caffeine which provides energy, but only 1/3 of the amount found in coffee. Matcha provides a slow steady release of caffeine into the blood stream, sustaining you over several hours. This is the key difference between Matcha and Coffee as the latter gives a sharp spike of energy but then drops quite suddenly, causing you to crave more. Matcha is a much more effective way of getting the energy you need without the nasty side effects or cravings of Coffee.
CALMING & REDUCES ANXIETY
- Matcha contains an amazing amino acid known as L-theanine that positively affects alpha waves in the brain, helping you feel relaxed and reduces feelings of anxiety or stress. Matcha also increases dopamine and serotonin levels which positively improves your mood, making you feel happy.
IMPROVES FOCUS & CONCENTRATION
- The combination of caffeine and L-theanine found in Matcha has been shown to improve memory retention and help with faster reaction time. Matcha helps you feel more productive and keeps you focused and concentrate on the task at hand.
DETOXIFYING & ANTI AGEING
- In the week's leading up to tea harvest the plants that become Matcha get covered in shade to block sunlight and increase chlorophyll production. Chlorophyll can help improve liver function, which can help increase your body’s ability to flush out toxins. Chlorophyll has also been shown to help with the excretion of heavy metals, dioxins, and other persistent chemicals.
- Matcha also contains Catechins, which are potent cancer-fighters counteracting the effect of pollutants, chemicals, UV rays, and radiation.
- Matcha contains the vitamins A, C, K and B complex that help with renewal of skin cells. This helps reduce the the signs of premature ageing and promotion of supple and smoother skin.
HELPS BOOST IMMUNITY
- Matcha contains one of the highest natural sources of antioxidants, higher than blueberries, chia seeds and other superfoods you may be familiar with. The antioxidants help fight free radicals in the system to keep your immune system fighting fit and healthy.
- Matcha is the best natural source of the plant based catechin EGCG (Epigallocatechin gallate) which helps the body produce T-cells that fight pathogen and virus. Read more about it here
BOOSTS METABOLISM & MAY AID IN WEIGHT LOSS
- That wonderful EGCG plant compound helps here too! In conjunction with caffeine found in Matcha it can assist with boosting metabolism which in turn increases your body's ability to burn calories.
- Matcha also helps your body absorb and use the fat in your body as an energy source when working out.

- The triple barrier packaging of our tea pouches are ideal for storing Matcha as it locks in freshness and protects it from exposure to air, heat and light that can make Matcha appear dull and bitter.
- Econic® packaging is made from three compostable films derived from sustainably-produced wood pulp and GM-free corn sources.
- Each film has been certified to the European and American commercial compostability standards (EN 13432 and ASTM4600) and either the European or Australian home compostable standards: OK Compost Home or AS5810.
- You can put your used Econic® bags in your own home compost or worm farm, containing heat, water, oxygen, soil and micro-organisms.
- Compost trials have shown that Econic® bags can break down into small fragments in as little as 16 weeks.
- Tip - cutting the bag down into smaller pieces before putting in your compost allows it to break down quicker. Our labels are also 100% home compostable so you do not need to remove them prior to composting.

Love it
The Matcha Shaker is so easy to use and clean, and it produces a beautiful froth on the matcha. I am so happy with this purchase, along with the lovely, friendly and reliable service.
Very very nice. Good quality.
Throughout the years I have tried virtually all known methods of preparing Matcha including frothers, blenders, other shakers and improvised methods. Traditional method works fine but certainly rules out anyone who would like to enjoy a regular cup of Matcha.
(Please be sure not to exceed specified maximum temperature of 80 degrees C.)
The included strainer is important. The shaker is quick & easy to use, does an excellent job and is quick and easy to clean.
Prompt, courteous service. What more could you want.
Certainly would recommend to others.
Love this - so convenient and practical to use. Small enough for travel and good for hot/cold tea. For when you don't have time to be zen about it all. Mixes the tea very well to a nice froth ready to drink in the bottle or to pour in a cup. So handy and useful! Now there's no excuse to have your matcha and drink it too :)
