Handmade in Kyoto, Japan Kyoto, Japan’s ancient capital, is famous for this style of pottery known as Ninsei, after the craftsman who pioneered these beautiful hand painted over gl azes on stoneware. The crackled glaze and light weight are perfect for matcha and make it an excellent piece for use in a tea ceremony. Matcha tea is a powdered green tea from Japan which is traditionally whisked in a bowl with a bamboo whisk. The whisking prevents clumps of tea powder sticking together. Matcha bowls are an ideal size and shape to give you space to whisk the tea while preventing the tea from splashing out. The preparation of matcha is part of the beauty of this tea and forces you to take a some time and care. A nice way to start your day, or take your mind off of other concerns for a few moments. Once made, the tea is enjoyed directly from the bowl. Show more
