MATCHAWAN KAIGAN

The Kaigan matchawan is a traditional cup for preparing and drinking matcha. It is hand-made of clay with lava particles, which gives it irregular freckles, unique for this material. The bowl has a matte finish, resulting in a minimalist, raw character. The matchawan’s uniqueness is also achieved by a geometric cut through the cup, dividing it into two parts: volcanic grey and mesmerising turquoise. The wide bottom of the cup is perfect for preparing matcha with a chasen ‒ a bamboo whisk used traditionally in the Japanese tea ceremony. 

The matchawan was hand-crafted by a local pottery business in United Kingdom. 10 years ago Natasha, the pottery artist changed her career and followed her dreams, finding the fulfilment in creating ceramic products. Her passion, effort and attention to detail attracted local shops, cafes and yoga studios. Natasha’s work has been recognised by international magazines such as Elle Decorations and was showcased in a vegan cooking handbook

As this is a handcrafted product, dimension and appearance may vary slightly.

MATCHA BAMBOO WHISK CHASEN

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.
