What is matcha?

Matcha is a traditional Japanese green tea, renowned for its delicate flavor and health benefits. Unlike other teas, matcha comes in a fine powder form and is whisked in hot water, creating a smooth texture and intense flavor.

This tea is rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. It provides an energizing effect and promotes a feeling of calm thanks to its L-theanine content.

Its importance in Japanese culture goes beyond simple consumption; it is often associated with meditative rituals promoting mindfulness.

Why use a Japanese ceramic matcha bowl?

This bowl is designed to whisk matcha powder with water using a chasen (bamboo whisk), to create a light and homogeneous foam. The size and shape of the bowl facilitate this circular movement and guarantee you enough space to avoid splashing. Preparation in a dedicated bowl reveals all the subtleties of matcha, whether in terms of texture or flavors, while respecting Japanese tradition.

What are the qualities of Japanese ceramics that are favorable for preparing matcha?

Japanese ceramics bring many benefits for tasting matcha. Made using ancestral techniques, these bowls have an ideal thickness that allows them to retain heat without altering the texture of the tea.

Additionally, the slightly rough surface of some bowls helps aerate the matcha while whisking, resulting in a denser foam.

Their robustness and resistance to temperature variations make them a durable choice. And they bring a touch of elegance to every tea ceremony!
