The Botan matchawan is a traditional cup for preparing matcha. Handy spout will help you not to spill the tea. Its irregular walls make it fit perfectly in the hand. The intense colour of the teapot is eye-catching and blends beautifully with the green shades of the matcha. The bowl’s colour inspired us to name it ‘Botan’, which means peony in Japanese. In this specific culture, the beauty, elegance and resilience of the peony have earned it the title of queen of flowers. In Japan in the 18th century, the peony was a widespread symbol in crafts, commonly used as a decorative element in tapestries, paintings, ceramics and kimonos. It is often used in Ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arranging.
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.
