The deep black glaze contrasted with navy accents embodies tranquility and elegance, making each tea ritual an immersive experience in both form and function.
Craftsmanship Rooted in Tradition
Mino ware (Mino-yaki), a distinguished Japanese ceramic style, is known for its meticulous production techniques and high-quality finishes. Each Chawan is handmade by artisans, ensuring every bowl is a unique piece. The blend of black and navy glaze reflects not just traditional aesthetics but also modern sensibilities, making this bowl a timeless addition to your matcha set.
Designed for the Perfect Matcha Experience
The Chawan Matcha Bowl is designed with a wide, deep shape to facilitate the smooth whisking of matcha powder with a bamboo whisk (Chasen). Its broad interior allows for easy whisking, creating a frothy, rich matcha texture. Whether you're preparing thin (usucha) or thick (koicha) matcha, this bowl enhances the tea’s natural flavors and aroma, offering a tactile and visual pleasure as part of your tea ritual.
Modern Meets Traditional Aesthetics
With its striking black and navy design, the bowl blends seamlessly into both traditional and contemporary settings. The matte black glaze contrasts beautifully with the glossy navy, representing the serene harmony of Japanese artistry. This sophisticated design is not only functional but also a stunning piece to display when not in use.
How to Use the Chawan for an Authentic Matcha Ritual
For the best matcha experience, follow these steps:
- Prepare the Matcha: Sift 1-2 teaspoons of matcha powder into the Chawan, and pour hot water (70-80°C) over the powder.
- Whisk to Perfection: Using a Chasen (bamboo whisk), whisk vigorously in a zigzag motion to create a smooth, frothy tea.
- Enjoy: Sip directly from the Chawan and savor the rich, velvety texture of your matcha.
Durable and Easy to Care For
To preserve the beauty and functionality of your Mino Ware Matcha Bowl, follow these care tips:
- Hand Wash Only: Wash the bowl gently with warm water after each use. Avoid using abrasive sponges or dishwashers, as they can damage the glaze.
