Know before you buy
Yes, the bowl features a wide, rounded base that provides ample room for the back-and-forth motion required to create a proper froth with a bamboo chasen.
The bowl is crafted from durable ceramic with a deep black finish. The dark surface is specifically chosen to create a high-contrast backdrop that makes the vibrant green color of prepared matcha stand out.
While the ceramic is durable for daily use, we recommend hand washing the bowl to preserve the integrity of the finish and prevent potential chipping over time.
Absolutely. While it is optimized for whisking tea, its round shape and aesthetic design make it a versatile serving bowl for small portions of snacks, dips, or other beverages.
The ceramic material retains heat well to keep your tea warm, but it is thick enough to handle comfortably. If you prefer, you can hold the bowl by the rim or cradle it in your palms once the tea has reached a drinkable temperature.
