Mino WareJapanese Handcrafted Matcha Tea Bowl Brown, Matcha Tea Cup Ceremony, Authentic Pottery, Shigaraki Oribe Chawan

perfect for my matcha making. Completely changes the flavour being able to properly whisk it in thsis bowl.

This tea bowl is not only pretty to look at, but also works great for working your matcha powder. I use it all the time! It's also definitely got the Authentic feel to it, and is not cheaply made.

Great bowl…I use this for matcha only

Ideal para el matcha, muy bonito y resistente.

I lived 45 years in Hawaii and visited an authentic geisha house as a company gift along with our spouses, and I went to many local and high class Japanese restaurants there and in every one the green or matcha tea was served in “small” white cups mass made with mostly blue exterior designs. These tea cups hold 2 3/4 cups if filled to the rim, which you will not do. My tea cans for making 3/4 cups which is usual. If my cup is warm and the tea the proper temperature even this about 1/3 bowl full holds it’s heat well. The craftsmanship is lovely, the design a knock out but the tea is prettier viewed from the lighter tan areas. I can really whip up a foam in the big base which I can’t do in littler cups. Without a pouring spout I would not try to transfer the tea from this cup to a smaller cup, it would be to easy to spill. You could easily double the recipe for two cups, or serve noodle soup or steamed rice in it. I noted in one place the add says dishwasher safe, after I used the dishwasher I reread the add and lower down it says NOT to use a dishwasher and why - a bit disappointing. I hope they correct it and if not that they replace damaged cups due to miss information. I wish they were smaller, but they are so pretty I would buy them again, I got four!
