Ceramic Matcha Bowl — Artisan Matcha Tea Bowl (Chawan)

Elevate your matcha ritual with this handcrafted Ceramic Matcha Bowl — designed to deliver authentic, traditional matcha preparation and sipping. Ideal for whisking, serving, and enjoying matcha or other whisked teas with proper technique and ceremony.

Why a Ceramic Matcha Bowl Matters

• Ceramic retains heat well — keeping your water temperature stable for smoother whisking and longer enjoyment. 

• The traditional bowl shape (wide top, curved interior) allows full whisk movement for a frothy, creamy matcha texture without spilling. 

• Using a proper bowl honours the ritual of preparing matcha, enhancing mindfulness and tea-ceremony vibes. 

• The weight, balance, and ceramic texture create an authentic sensory experience — hand-feel, warmth in your hands, and visual beauty. 

How to Use Your Matcha Bowl (Chawan)

1. Pre-heat the bowl with a splash of hot water — discard the water. This helps the bowl hold heat and enhance aroma. 

2. Add ~½–1 teaspoon (≈ 1–2 g) ceremonial matcha powder into the bowl. Sift first if you like an extra smooth cup. 

3. Pour in ~60–80 mL of hot water (~70–80 °C / 160–175 °F) — not boiling to preserve matcha flavour. Whisk briskly in a “W” or “M” motion until a frothy layer forms and matcha is fully dissolved. 

4. Add more hot water (to ~200–240 mL) if you prefer a lighter drink — and enjoy your matcha directly from the bowl. 

This bowl isn’t just for matcha: you can use it for whisked teas, latte-style drinks, or even as a minimalist vessel for small soups or desserts if desired.

FAQs

Why not use a regular mug for matcha?

Regular mugs often don’t retain heat well, are shaped poorly for whisking, and can cool the matcha too quickly — affecting texture and flavour. A ceramic matcha bowl was designed specifically for whisking and drinking matcha properly. 

Does the material matter for matcha bowls?

Yes — ceramic or quality clay retains heat properly, supports whisking motion, and enhances aroma & flavour compared to glass or thin cups. 

Can I make matcha lattes with it?

Absolutely. The bowl works perfectly for traditional matcha or matcha lattes — whisk in matcha with a bit of hot water, then add steamed milk (dairy or plant-based) for a creamy latte.

Do I need a special whisk?

A bamboo matcha whisk (chasen) is ideal for proper foaming. While you can whisk manually, a chasen yields the smoothest, frothiest texture.

Is this bowl easy to clean?

Yes — wash gently by hand with warm water. Avoid harsh soaps or abrasive tools to preserve the glaze and clay integrity.

Do you ship across Canada or offer local pickup?

Yes — this Ceramic Matcha Bowl is available online with Canada-wide shipping, or pick-up at The Local Boom (Vancouver) location.
