Frequently Asked Questions
Curious about matcha bowls? Here are a few questions we often hear from customers:
Q1: What makes a matcha bowl different from a regular teacup?
A: Matcha bowls (chawan) are traditionally used in Japanese tea ceremonies. They have a wider, deeper shape that allows the matcha to be whisked properly and appreciated visually. Each one is crafted to reflect the season, texture, and mood.
Q2: I’m new to matcha. Which bowl should I choose?
A: If you’re new to matcha, choose based on what you find beautiful—there’s no rule! Whether you prefer a rustic glaze or a bright color, the important thing is that it brings you joy when you use it.
