Saratoga Tea & Honey Co. Matcha Chawan

Matcha requires vigorous whisking to fully emulsify the powder with water. A wide-bottomed bowl, or chawan, provides the necessary clearance for your bamboo whisk to move in a rapid 'W' motion without hitting the sides, which is essential for creating a smooth, frothy texture.

Yes, the design is intentionally accessible. The wide, open shape makes it easier to control your whisking technique, helping you achieve a consistent emulsion even if you are still perfecting your preparation ritual.

This bowl is crafted from ceramic. It is chosen for its durability and ability to retain heat, which helps keep your matcha at the ideal temperature while you prepare and enjoy it.

While this vessel is specifically engineered for the mechanics of whisking matcha, its size and shape make it a lovely, versatile bowl for sipping other teas. However, it will not offer the same ease of use for whisking as it does for matcha.

We recommend hand washing your chawan with warm water and a mild soap. Avoid abrasive scrubbers to protect the finish, and ensure it is completely dry before storing it to maintain its longevity.
