Matchawan Umi with a spout is hand-thrown on the potter’s wheel from gray clay with a subtle addition of chamotte and a glaze prepared in accordance with centuries-old Japanese tradition. It was created as a limited KOOE for MOYA series by the Kraków ceramic studio KOOE, whose pieces are known not only for their beautiful forms but also for exceptional durability thanks to high-temperature firing. The spout helps you pour matcha into a glass without spills. Each bowl in this series is a unique handmade piece, so its appearance and size may vary slightly from the one shown.
A matchawan is a traditional bowl used in the Japanese tea ceremony. It’s also the most comfortable vessel for drinking matcha, which is best whisked with a bamboo whisk (the chasen). The bowl’s vertical walls and wide base make it easy to whisk the matcha in water and quickly create a fine layer of foam on the surface. Remember: the water temperature for preparing matcha should not exceed 80°C.
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.
Watch how Hitomi Saito, cofounder of Moya Matcha, prepares perfect matcha.
