Know before you buy
Yes, the bowl is specifically designed for matcha preparation. Its round shape and dimensions provide ample space for a bamboo whisk to move freely, allowing you to create a proper froth.
This bowl is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand washing it gently with warm water and a mild detergent, then drying it thoroughly with a soft cloth to preserve the integrity of the Tenmoku glaze.
No, this bowl is not microwave safe. The ceramic material and the specific nature of the Tenmoku glaze are not designed to withstand high-heat radiation.
Each authentic CHAWAN COLLECTIVE tea bowl features a signature mark on the base. This mark confirms its Japanese origin and ensures it meets the brand's quality standards.
This is a traditional Japanese-style tea bowl, so it does not feature a handle or insulation. The ceramic construction is designed to be held comfortably in the palms of your hands, allowing you to feel the warmth of the tea.
