Mizuba Tea Co. Chawan Matcha Bowl

No, this bowl is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand washing it gently with mild soap and warm water to preserve the ceramic glaze and the integrity of the handcrafted finish.

The wide basin is specifically designed to give your bamboo whisk enough room to move freely, allowing you to create a frothy matcha without splashing. The high walls help contain the liquid during vigorous whisking.

The bowl is designed with a curved lip that provides a comfortable grip. While ceramic retains heat well, the thickness of the walls generally allows you to hold the bowl comfortably while sipping your tea.

Because each piece is handcrafted at a historic Shigaraki kiln, there will be slight variations in the glaze and finish. This unique character is a hallmark of the traditional Japanese pottery process and means your bowl will be one-of-a-kind.

While it is purpose-built for the traditional preparation of matcha, its size and shape make it a versatile vessel. It works well for any tea that requires a wider opening, though it is not designed for standard coffee service.
