The Chawan

The matcha bowl ('Cha-wan') has been specifically designed for optimal whisking of the tea.

It is shaped and sized to ensure the tea powder is evenly whisked while having a rounded base and edge to prevent damage to the whisk during the whisking process. It is also the perfect shape, size and weight to hold onto, much like a warm hug!

The chawan is also hand glazed and smooth to prevent breakage of the whisk.

Traditionally used in tea ceremonies, made out of Japanese ceramics, tea can be drank directly from the bowl once whisked.

Modern chawan includes a spout to facilitate pouring of the tea into cups to prevent spillages.

All of our chawan are made in Japan Gifu prefecture, and shipped directly from small local Japanese ceramic businesses.
