MATCHAWAN UME

Matchawan Ume, meaning “plum” in Japanese, is a true masterpiece of ceramics coming from the picturesque town of Toki. The ceramic artists from Toki in Gifu Prefecture use techniques that are over 1300 years old. The bowls are meticulously crafted on a pottery wheel, resulting in each piece being unique. The plum blossom is a flower that heralds spring and a symbol of longevity, perseverance, and resilience, as it blooms in the lingering chill of winter. Drinking matcha from the Ume bowl will help strengthen both body and spirit.

The Ume bowl pairs well with the Tsubaki 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.
