Chawan Sensai - Matcha Bowl

Craftsmanship to enhance your tasting experience

The name "Sensai" evokes the finesse of this matcha bowl, whose beauty lies in its simplicity. Its milky white glaze plays with variations in thickness to reveal subtle gradients ranging from light blue to gray. Featuring a soft texture and a unique appearance, it includes a pouring spout ideal for precisely pouring matcha after preparation.

Its traditional circular shape is perfectly suited for both the preparation and enjoyment of matcha tea.

A ceremonial bowl for preparing matcha

Matcha is a green tea whose leaves have been ground into a very fine powder. It is not infused but whisked, and is prepared using a whisk, a bowl, and a scoop. To enjoy the full creaminess and sweetness of matcha, it should be consumed immediately after preparation.

1. Place 2 scoops (or one level teaspoon) of Matcha into the bowl.
2. Pour 5cl of water heated to 70°C over the powder.
3. Holding the bowl with one hand, whisk the matcha tea with a bamboo whisk using a brisk motion (tracing a "W" shape at the bottom of the bowl) until a smooth froth forms.

It is then ready to enjoy! To make a matcha latte, simply add 10cl of milk (plant-based or dairy), previously frothed with an electric whisk.
