Product Details

A Bowl That Brings Matcha to Life

Ceramic matcha bowls have long been used in traditional Japanese tea ceremonies to prepare the perfect bowl of matcha, and the Iguchi matcha bowl is designed to be an ideal canvas for this ritual. Measuring 3 inches in height and 4.5 inches in diameter, it has the perfect shape and size for both preparation and presentation. Its rounded form makes whisking matcha powder effortless, while the ergonomic design ensures a comfortable grip when drinking or holding the tea bowl.

Over a Thousand Years of Craftsmanship

What makes this matcha bowl more than just a daily accessory is the art and cultural history it carries. This traditional bowl reflects over 1,400 years of craftsmanship, tracing its origins to Japan’s Azuchi-Momoyama period. Minoyaki pottery, which emerged during this era, remains a timeless art form still practiced today. Its charm lies in the subtle variations and irregularities that define ceramic handmade matcha bowls. It’s an ideal piece for a boutique gift shop showcasing enduring matcha tools or a tea room looking to enrich the cultural experience of serving matcha.
Ingredients
Preparation & Care

Traditional Usucha (Thin Tea) Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1-1.5 tsp matcha powder
  • 2-3 oz (60-90 ml) hot water (175°F / 80°C)

Equipment:

  • Matcha bowl
  • Bamboo matcha whisk (chasen)

Instructions:

  • Preheat your matcha bowl: Pour hot water into the tea bowl, swirl it around to warm the sides, then discard the water.
  • Add 1-1.5 teaspoons of matcha powder to the warmed matcha Chawan.
  • Carefully pour 2-3 ounces of warm water (175°F or 80°C) over the matcha powder.
  • Using your bamboo whisk, whisk the matcha and water together in a zig-zag motion until a frothy layer forms on the surface.

Tip: The key to a perfect usucha is in the whisking! Whisk briskly and continuously until you achieve a smooth, frothy consistency with minimal lumps.

Remember: Making usucha is an art that takes practice. Adjust your Japanese green matcha powder and water quantities to find your perfect balance and preferred taste.

Classic Matcha Latte Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 teaspoon Matcha Green Tea Powder
  • ¼ cup hot water (160–180°F)
  • ¼ cup warmed choice of milk (soy, cashew, coconut, or any milk of choice)
  • Optional: sweetener of your choice (to taste)
  • Optional: vanilla bean or cinnamon (for added flavor)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Matcha
  • Sift the matcha powder into a large mug or ceramic matcha bowl to remove any lumps.
  • Add hot water to the matcha. Using a matcha whisk (or a small kitchen whisk), whisk briskly in an up-and-down motion for about 30 seconds until the mixture becomes frothy.
  1. Add Milk
  • Pour warm milk over the frothed matcha tea. Taste and adjust flavors by adding vanilla, cinnamon, sweetener, or additional water or milk as desired.
  1. Blender Method (Alternative)
  • If you don't have a whisk, combine milk, matcha powder, sweetener (e.g., honey or agave nectar), and vanilla in a blender. Cover and blend on high until the mixture is creamy and frothy.

Cold Latte Option

Add the ingredients and a handful of ice to a jar for an iced matcha latte. Cover and shake vigorously until well combined.

Tip for the Perfect Latte

Water Temperature: Keep the water between 160–180°F to avoid a bitter, burnt taste. A good tip is to let your kettle boil and cool for a few minutes before adding it to the matcha powder.

Enjoy your creamy, flavorful Matcha Latte!

Care Instructions

Wash gently with warm water and mild dish soap. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh detergents. Do not place it in the dishwasher or microwave. This will help prevent damage to the glaze or cracking. Allow the bowl to air dry completely before storing.

Handmade for Daily Rituals

The Iguchi Deep Sea Matcha Bowl is handmade to be your companion for a truly satisfying matcha experience. With a long history in Japanese pottery, it also fits perfectly into a modern lifestyle. The bowl is lead- and cadmium-free, ensuring a safe experience, and it’s microwave-safe for easy heating and reheating. Designed to whisk the perfect matcha base, whether for traditional ceremonial preparation or contemporary recipes like matcha lattes, it’s a versatile and meaningful addition to any tea ritual.

Beauty in Every Curve and Speckle

The Iguchi Deep Sea Matcha Bowl is a beautiful work of art. Soft blues and gentle greens swirl across the surface, creating patterns that feel alive and ever-changing, like waves on the sea. Its handmade, slightly irregular shape gives each bowl a unique character, and subtle speckles inside the off-white interior complete the bowl's handcrafted charm. The bowl’s aesthetic makes it equally striking on display in a boutique tea shop or as a thoughtful addition for anyone who appreciates artistic pottery and elegant tea accessories.

Craftsmanship That Invites a Slow, Mindful Tea Experience

The Iguchi Deep Sea Matcha Bowl is designed not just for drinking matcha, but for creating an experience. Its generous dimensions make it ideal for whisking a full, frothy bowl of matcha, just as in traditional Japanese tea ceremonies. The wide, rounded shape allows the tea to be comfortably whisked, while the slightly irregular, handmade form adds an organic, earthy artistic charm. In a boutique tea room, it adds to the experience, inviting customers to slow down, appreciate the textures and colors, and fully enjoy the complete ceremonial side of matcha.

Durable, Comfortable, Timeless

This bowl is made of ceramic, one of the best materials for a matcha bowl. Ceramic holds heat well, keeping the tea warm while the bowl itself stays comfortable to hold, making the tea experience more enjoyable. It is also renowned for its durability; its color and glaze can last for years when cared for properly. These qualities make it an ideal choice for specialty tea shops, whether displayed for customers seeking a beautiful everyday accessory or offered as a keepsake to add to a growing collection of cherished tea tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We offer a variety of matcha bowls to suit different preferences and occasions. This includes classic ceramic matcha bowls, elegant glass matcha bowls, bowls with spouts and side handles for easier pouring, and matcha bowls included as part of complete gift sets. Each type is designed to provide a practical and enjoyable matcha experience while also making a beautiful addition to any tea ritual or display.

  • We offer three USDA JAS Certified grades of matcha to suit different needs. Our ceremonial grade matcha is made from the youngest, most tender tea leaves, ideal for traditional tea preparation and enjoying on its own. Our café-grade matcha is a blend of first and second-harvest leaves, well-suited for lattes, smoothies, and everyday drinks. Our culinary-grade matcha is crafted for use in recipes, making it a great choice for baking, desserts, and cooking. Each grade is carefully selected to deliver consistent quality, vibrant color, and a smooth, rich flavor.

  • Bowls with spouts or side handles are designed for easier pouring and handling. The spout allows you to transfer matcha or other beverages without spilling, while the handles provide a more secure grip, making them ideal for serving multiple guests or for use in cafes and workshops. They combine practicality with the aesthetic qualities of traditional matcha bowls, offering a slightly different experience from standard wide, rounded bowls.

  • For ceremonial matcha, wide and rounded ceramic bowls are ideal because they allow the tea to be whisked fully, creating a frothy, smooth texture while giving space for proper whisking techniques. For casual or everyday use, bowls with handles, spouts, or slightly smaller sizes can be more convenient, especially if you’re making lattes, smoothies, or serving multiple people.
