Fellow’s new Matcha set is the ultimate holiday gift for matcha lovers

Fellow’s new Matcha Set is the elevated gift tea lovers will love

Fellow
Fellow

Fellow, the beloved coffee gear brand, has just dropped a new set — but this time, geared towards the everyday tea drinker. This new drop makes the perfect standout gift for a tea enthusiast? This 5-piece tool set is an unexpected essential they’ll continue to reach for all year long.

With this drop, Fellow reimagines everyday rituals with a new, counter-worthy tea innovation that actually makes your routine easier. After years of customer requests, the newly launched 5-piece collection marks a natural extension to the brand’s beloved tea kettles. This streamlined, well-built kit offers exceptional value (either for yourself or as a gift) for anyone who values design, discipline, and a better daily tea ritual. The 5-piece, dishwasher-safe Fellow Matcha set includes:

  • Chasen (Bamboo Whisk): A traditional bamboo chasen (Japanese whisk) creates an acoustically pleasing tactile moment, paired with an ergonomic grip. The 80 hand-cut tines creates ideal aeration with a smooth foam texture.
    Chawan (Matcha Bowl): A wide ceramic matcha bowl with a pour spout makes it easy to whisky without spills and is designed specifically to eliminate dripping & pour clean every time.
  • Naoshi (Whisk Holder): Crafted from ceramic, the whisk holder maintains form and cleanliness.
  • Sifter: Made from polished stainless steel to match Fellow’s signature aesthetic, the included sifter makes it easy to make clump-free tea that’s smoother (and more enjoyable).
  • Modular Tray Base: Last but not least, the modular tray base houses a spot for every tool in the set. The tray’s layout keeps each component nested in place with silicone feet with counter stability, creating a set that’s both visually pleasing and inviting enough for everyday use.

This new coffee and hydration bundle gives back to Brazilian farmers
This $50 coffee & hydration bundle is your new summer essential
Equator Coffee

We're right in the heart of the summer -- and this fun seasonal collab from Equator Coffees makes the perfect pairing for those who love coffee (and hydration) as much as I do. The new Golden Hour x Buoy Hydration Bundle, (priced at $50), pairs Equator's Golden Hour blend (bright, fruity notes of orange creamsicle and Rainier cherry) with Buoy's unsweetened hydration drops and a 32oz water bottle featuring original artwork from local SF muralist Rymie. As you build a nice war-weather routine, this bundle helps emphasize the importance of staying hydrated (and caffeinated) all summer long. Even better, 5% of collection sales support youth agricultural education at the farm behind the blend in Brazil.

“Golden Hour is summer in a cup. It’s bright, vibrant, and the kind of coffee I reach for when the days get longer. Pairing it with Buoy hydration drops and a custom Nalgene just made sense to us—great coffee to start your day, hydration to keep you feeling your best, and a bottle you’ll actually want to bring everywhere this summer," says Helen Russell, Co-Founder and Executive Chair.

The best value single malt whisky from every region of Scotland
Take a tour of Scotland with these gateway whiskies
Aberlour

If you’re new to the world of Scotch whisky, you might just assume that it all tastes the same. Well, not only are there major differences in aroma and flavor between many well-known whiskies, but there are also five distinct regions, and each has its own unique flavor profile. Each region is also home to many value whiskies. Today, I’m going to highlight one from each. But before I get into that, I need to start at the beginning.

When I first started writing about alcohol, Scotch whisky seemed a little overwhelming to me. When I first tasted it, I thought they all tasted the same. That changed when I was given a dram of single malt whisky from The Macallan alongside a dram of single malt whisky from Laphroaig. Boy, was my mind blown.

Craft beer and spirits, Indigenous style
A look at a unique tribal label within the craft beer industry
Talking Cedar Brewery & Distillery.

When an industry fails to reflect the community, it falls short. That's the case for everything from fashion and music to the craft beer movement. Diversity in production honors the diversity in consumers.

In terms of beer, it's long been a white and male dominated affair. Lately, marginalized folks have made strides and craft beer has partnered up with some organizations doing great work. But so much work is left to do.
