What are the benefits of using a matcha bowl?

A matcha bowl enhances your matcha-making experience by providing the correct curved shape and size for whisking matcha, ensuring smooth, lump-free, delicious matcha. Additionally, using a dedicated bowl helps preserve the authentic taste of matcha and the ritual, making it more enjoyable. It also serves as a beautiful aesthetic addition to your tea collection.

Can I use any bowl for matcha?

While technically possible, using a dedicated matcha bowl enhances the experience. The shape and size of a chawan are specifically designed to help create the proper froth when whisking.

How should you store your matcha whisk?

The matcha whisk is one of the most essential matcha accessories. To maintain the integrity of the fine prongs of the whisk, it is highly recommended to keep it in a chasen holder. A chasen holder allows the whisk to retain its shape and air-dry naturally, which helps prolong its lifetime.

Are all the traditional accessories required to prepare a matcha drink?

Matcha is a traditional Japanese drink whose authenticity can be best experienced with all the matcha accessories. However, there are alternative ways to prepare and enjoy matcha. Instead of a traditional chawan, you can use any bowl with a wide base, and instead of a chasen, a milk frother can be used to achieve the creamy, frothy consistency that makes matcha enjoyable.
