“I want to offer a matcha experience, but I don’t have any tea ceremony tools.”
“I’m not sure what equipment I need or where to start.”
“I don’t need a full traditional setup, but I want to create an authentic atmosphere.”
When planning tea ceremony or matcha experiences, we often hear concerns like these. Tea ceremony tools come in many varieties and require careful handling and storage.
For first-timers or those planning one-time events, this can feel overwhelming. That’s where tea ceremony tool rental becomes the perfect solution.
What is Tea Ceremony Tool Rental? Benefits vs. Purchasing
Tea ceremony tool rental is a service that allows you to borrow the complete set of equipment needed for matcha experiences or tea ceremony events for a specific period.
3 Key Benefits of Renting Tea Ceremony Tools
1. Significantly Reduce Initial Costs
Purchasing a complete set of tea ceremony tools can cost tens of thousands of yen or more. With rental, you can start from just ¥3,300 per person.
2. No Storage Space Required
Tea bowls and whisks require careful storage to avoid humidity and damage. With rental, simply return the items after use.
3. Zero Maintenance Burden
Tea whisks need post-use care, and tea bowls require proper storage conditions. Rental items require no maintenance on your part.
