Made for the Way You Prepare Matcha
The beauty of this matcha chawan lies not only in its design, but also in the way it feels to use each day. Gentle ridges around the exterior provide a comfortable, secure grip while whisking teas like usucha, making those quick, brisk motions feel effortless. The softly curved rim rests comfortably against your lips for an enjoyable drinking experience. Ceramic has been used for matcha bowls for generations because it stays comfortable to hold while helping keep the tea warm, making it a thoughtful choice for both everyday use and slower afternoons.

With plenty of room to whisk and a comfortable shape to hold, this matcha bowl is perfectly sized for preparing and enjoying your tea. Measuring 3 inches high and 4.5 inches wide, it gives your bamboo whisk enough space to move freely, making it easy to create the light, frothy texture you love in a well-prepared matcha. Its generous 17 oz (500 ml) capacity also leaves plenty of room for a satisfying serving, while the thoughtful proportions make whisking feel natural and comfortable.

- 2-3 oz (60-90 ml) hot water (175°F / 80°C)
Equipment:
- Matcha bowl
- Bamboo matcha whisk (chasen)
Instructions:
- Preheat your matcha bowl: Pour hot water into the tea bowl, swirl it around to warm the sides, then discard the water.
- Add 1-1.5 teaspoons of matcha powder to the warmed matcha chawan.
- Carefully pour 2-3 ounces of warm water (175°F or 80°C) over the matcha powder.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of the rolled rim?
What is the purpose of the rolled rim?
The rolled rim has both a practical and decorative purpose. Its rounded shape creates a smooth, comfortable edge that feels natural when sipping matcha directly from the bowl. It also gives the bowl a slightly fuller, more defined lip, making it easier to hold and enjoy. Visually, the rolled rim adds a softer finish to the tea bowl’s silhouette and complements the wave-like ridges and speckled glaze.
Does the bowl get excessively hot to the touch?
Does the bowl get excessively hot to the touch?
The ceramic construction helps the bowl remain comfortable to hold while you enjoy your matcha. It will warm up when filled with hot matcha, but the exterior is designed to be comfortable to touch during use. As with any ceramic teaware, we recommend handling it with care when using very hot water.
Will my bowl look exactly like the pictures?
Will my bowl look exactly like the pictures?
Each bowl has its own unique glaze pattern, so the colors and mottling may vary slightly from the photos. You may notice small differences in the blue tones, as well as the accent color around the rim. These natural variations are part of the ceramic glazing process and give each bowl its own unique look.
Are the horizontal ridges purely decorative?
Are the horizontal ridges purely decorative?
Not at all. The horizontal ridges add texture to the bowl while also making it easier to hold comfortably. Their raised design gives your fingers a place to rest, providing a secure grip when you hold the bowl with both hands.
