The Botan matchawan is a traditional cup for preparing and drinking matcha. 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.
Traditional bamboo whisk or “chasen” is an indispensable tool of the Japanese matcha tea ceremony. The fine, handmade prongs are carved out in a single piece of bamboo. When using a chasen to whisk matcha it is best to keep a loose and relaxed wrist and make rapid zigzag motions in the shape of letter “W” or “M” – this helps to give matcha the ideal frothy texture.
The traditional matcha whisk holder is not only a beautiful element of the traditional Japanese matcha tea set. It is a very practical tool that helps your chasen dry faster and maintain its shape and durability.

Chashaku is the traditional Japanese spoon for serving matcha and an integral part of the matcha tea ceremony. The curved portion of the spoon is used to scoop a small portion of tea and place in a bowl (matchawan). The mixture is then whisked to uniform consistency using a bamboo whisk (chasen). The amount of matcha served depends on individual preference. The thin tea or “usucha” is prepared with one or two chashaku of matcha and approximately 100ml of water.
Material: Bamboo. Length: 18cm. Not dishwasher safe.
