Matcha Tea Grinder

For a matcha purist, a portable tea grinder is the answer.  Both Kyocera and Porlex of Japan make quality ceramic burr tea grinders.   Standing 6-inch tall, a matcha tea grinder comprises a handle, a chamber, ceramic burrs and a tea catcher.   It is easy to assemble. Although the tool is ideal for grinding Tencha into Matcha, it can also churn out other types of fine or coarser tea powder, which is used in baking or cooking.  This nice toy is not for grinding coffee beans.
