"Raku" Matcha Chawan Bowls - Raku ware
Raku Matcha bowls, sometimes also called Kyo-Raku, hold a special place in the world of tea ceremonies and are treasured for their unparalleled ability to enhance the matcha experience. These bowls are meticulously handcrafted using traditional Raku techniques, resulting in unique, one-of-a-kind pieces that embody Japanese elegance.
The Raku Chawan's porous nature is not just a design feature, it's a practical advantage. It's this unique characteristic that allows the Matcha to retain its warmth for longer, unlike the wide, shallow bowls of regular Matcha bowls that often lead to rapid temperature loss.
The thoughtfully constructed curving shape of the Raku Chawan facilitates easier whisking and frothing with a bamboo whisk. At the same time, its calculated angle makes sipping the Matcha effortless to the last drop.
However, I would say that the most captivating aspect of the Raku Chawan is its hand-molded, asymmetrical design. It reveals a slightly different expression from every angle, making it truly a joy to use
