Matcha Bowl (chawan)

To appreciate Matcha fully you need the right utensils.

The bowl (‘chawan’ in Japanese) is the centrepiece of the Matcha Ceremony. This piece helps you make Matcha properly and will also produce the very best aroma and flavour.

The bowl also enables (forces?!) you to prepare your tea with care and attention. So even in a rush, making a bowl of Matcha allows you a moment to reflect, to unwind and to experience quiet. This is the essence of the Matcha Ceremony.
