CHAWAN COLLECTIVE Matcha Bowl

Raku is a traditional Japanese firing technique that results in unique, organic textures and finishes. Each bowl features a distinct Kuro (black) surface that is porous and lightweight, specifically designed to retain heat and provide a comfortable grip during the whisking process.

Yes, the gold accents are integrated into the ceramic finish and are completely food-safe. They are designed to withstand regular contact with hot water and matcha without degrading.

To preserve the integrity of the Raku finish, we recommend hand washing the bowl with warm water and a mild detergent. Avoid using a dishwasher or abrasive scrubbers, as these can damage the delicate surface texture and gold detailing.

Yes, the bowl is specifically shaped to provide enough surface area for a bamboo whisk (chasen) to move freely. The depth and curvature are designed to help you achieve a consistent, frothy layer of foam without splashing.

Because the bowl has a matte, porous Raku-style finish, it may develop a light patina over time with frequent use. This is considered a natural part of the aging process for traditional tea ware and adds to the bowl's unique character.
