A Matcha Tea Set(milk yellow)
The Chawan (Tea Bowl)
The heart of the set is the chawan, a dedicated matcha tea bowl. Crafted from rustic stoneware, it feels substantial and grounding in the hand. Its exterior glazed in a deep, mossy green—not a flat color, but a gradient born from the kiln’s fire, resembling a damp, shadowed garden. Inside, it is coated with a smooth, dark glaze, an abyss-like backdrop meant to highlight the vibrant jade of the whipped tea. The bowl is wide and generous, with a subtly incurved rim that cradles the froth. Its sturdy, low foot provides balance, making it a perfect vessel of warmth when cupped in the palms.
The Chasen (Tea Whisk)
Its partner is the chasen, the delicate bamboo whisk. Carved from a single piece of aged, pale-bamboo, its handle shines with a soft, honeyed patina. The head is meticulously split into over a hundred fine, supple tines, splayed yet bound at the base like a tightly closed bud. In motion, it is a instrument of transformation. As it whisks briskly against the bowl’s dark interior, the tines create a gentle, rhythmic whisper—the sound of wind through bamboo—aerating the powdered tea into a velvety, emerald froth. This whisk is not merely a tool, but the very breath that gives life to the tea.
Together
One is earthy and containing; the other is agile and awakening. Together, the bowl and whisk form more than just utensils—they are a silent ritual, a bridge to mindfulness, and a dialogue between the hand, the element, and the spirit of the leaf.
