MATCHAWAN TSUBAKI
Matchawan Tsubaki is a unique matcha bowl that owes its uniqueness to precise handcrafting on a pottery wheel. The place where the teapot was created is Gifu Prefecture, where unique vessels called Shino have been fired for hundreds of years in the Oroshi district of Toki City. In Japanese, “tsubaki” means camellia flower. The camellia is intricately intertwined with Japanese cultural and spiritual life, symbolizing appreciation and admiration for various art forms. The flower represents depth, self-reflection, and inner strength, highly valued qualities in Japanese culture. Camellia also symbolizes love, loyalty, and humility, making this bowl perfect for expressing gratitude to family and friends.
The Tsubaki bowl pairs beautifully with the Ume bowl.

The traditional way to prepare matcha comes from the Japanese Tea Ceremony. It involves using a matcha bowl, a bamboo whisk- chasen and a bamboo spoon- chashaku. Place 2 chashaku spoons of matcha (1,5g) in a matcha bowl and pour 100ml of hot water (80 °C). Chasen in hand, vigorously whisk your matcha from the wrist in m-shaped, not circular, motion. In about 20 seconds your bowl should be filled with a perfect jade-green foam. You can add more water now if you like your matcha to be less strong.
