This is not "just" a mug!

I didn’t expect a different mug to make my matcha taste better, but it did. There’s something special about holding your matcha bowl, feeling it warm your hands and soul, and sipping while enjoying the sunlight.

Win Win

I love the matcha bowl “starry night” that I ordered. I also love love the ceremonial grade matcha. It’s very smooth, mild to taste. Not grassy as I had tried another store brand in the past.

Gorgeous bowl

This bowl is beautiful and is the perfect size for matcha in my opinion. A little smaller than other matcha bowls I’ve seen. It’s too pretty to be put in a cabinet so it has a permanent spot on the floating shelf in my kitchen.

Why matcha is made in a bowl

Matcha is whisked, not steeped, and a whisk needs room to move. A matcha bowl is wide and has a flat bottom, so the bamboo whisk can travel quickly back and forth and lift the tea into a fine foam. In a mug, the same powder tends to clump against the sides and the whisk has nowhere to go.

A ceramic matcha bowl made in Japan

Each bowl is shaped and glazed by hand in Japan, so no two are exactly alike. Ceramic holds heat, which keeps the tea warm while you drink, and its weight keeps the bowl steady while you whisk. The glaze, the shape of the rim and the foot ring are what make each one its own.

Using and caring for your bowl

Warm the bowl with hot water first, pour it out and wipe it dry, then sift in your matcha. After drinking, most people rinse the bowl in warm water and let it air dry. Pair it with a bamboo matcha whisk, and if you are new to whisking, our step-by-step guide to making matcha at home walks you through the first bowl.
