FAQ
Your Questions About This Matcha Bowl, Answered
Is this bowl actually made for matcha, or is it just decorative?
It is designed specifically as a chawan, the traditional Japanese tea bowl used for preparing and drinking matcha. The wide, open shape gives you the room you need to whisk properly. It is meant to be used, not just admired on a shelf.
Will my bowl look exactly like the one in the photos?
Not exactly, and that is a good thing. Because each piece is handcrafted, the blue glaze will vary slightly from bowl to bowl. You will receive a one-of-a-kind piece, which is part of what makes handmade porcelain worth owning in the first place.
What material is this chawan made from?
This matcha bowl is made from porcelain. It has a blue glaze finish and is handcrafted in the Japanese chawan tradition. Porcelain is smooth, non-porous, and a classic choice for tea bowls.
Can I use this bowl for other teas, not just matcha?
The chawan shape works beautifully for matcha, but there is nothing stopping you from using it for other teas you enjoy drinking from a wide, open bowl. It is your bowl, honey, use it the way that makes you happy.
How should I care for this porcelain matcha bowl?
The listing does not specify dishwasher safety, so to be safe with a handcrafted porcelain piece, hand washing is the sensible choice. Gentle soap, warm water, and a soft cloth will keep it looking its best for a long time.

Which teapot do you recommend for a beginner?
For beginners we often recommend a ceramic or glass teapot: easy to use, easy to clean, and they suit every kind of tea while you find your favorites.
How do I choose the right teapot size?
It depends on your habits. For one person, 10 to 17 oz is ideal. For a couple, aim for 20 to 34 oz, and for families or hosting, 34 oz and up.

You can, but we recommend dedicated teapots for strong teas: unglazed clay and cast iron keep a memory of the tea. Glass, porcelain and stainless steel stay neutral between teas.
