A matcha cup for lattes
This matcha cup is a ceramic tumbler, taller and narrower than a bowl, and made for the way many people drink matcha now: frothed, with milk, in something you can hold in one hand. It is made by our multigenerational artisan partners from a clay they blend themselves, and it sits balanced and evenly weighted in the hand.
Why a tumbler suits a frother
A bamboo whisk needs a wide bowl to move in. A tumbler is the opposite shape, which is why it pairs better with an electric frother. The tall sides keep the foam from splashing, and there is room above the tea for milk. For a daily latte, froth 2 g of matcha with about two ounces of water at 175°F right in the cup, then pour in milk, steamed or cold.
Two finishes, each a little different
The matcha tumbler comes in Blue Stripes or Earthen Beige. Each one is made by hand, so the glaze and pattern vary slightly from piece to piece, and yours will look a little different from the photos. That variation is part of what we like about handmade ceramics. If you prefer a mug with a handle, or want to see the tumbler beside our other drinkware, browse our matcha mugs and cups.
