Japanese Tradition

The tea ceremony, or chanoyu in Japanese, is a traditional aesthetic practice in Japan involving the preparation and consumption of matcha tea. It goes far beyond a simple ritual. A tea ceremony practitioner must be knowledgeable in traditional arts, architecture, landscape gardening, and floral arts, as well as tea cultivation and varieties, traditional Japanese clothing (kimono), calligraphy, ceramics, etiquette, and incense. Study is continuous and can take years, with each ceremony lasting up to four hours.

One of the central utensils is the chawan, a porcelain bowl used in the preparation and tasting of matcha. Valued for generations, it is often passed down as a family heirloom, symbolizing tradition and continuity in chanoyu.

When choosing your chawan, prefer rounded edges, a smooth interior, and a flat bottom to make tea preparation easier. For making matcha, it’s recommended to use a chashaku (bamboo scoop) to measure the powder and a chasen (bamboo whisk) to mix, ensuring a harmonious beverage full of benefits.

Why Choose This Chawan?

Functional design: Rounded edge and smooth interior make it easy to use the chasen.

Stable base: Flat bottom for greater comfort and safety during preparation.

Artisanal aesthetic: Each piece has a subtle unique touch, highlighting the beauty of Japanese ceramics.

Usage Tip:

Use a chashaku to measure the ideal dose of matcha and a chasen to whisk the powder with hot water (80 °C) until a delicate foam forms. The bowl should allow smooth wrist movement, essential for properly preparing the drink.
