Matcha Bowls and Tools for the Perfect Cup of Matcha Tea
At Studio Hafnia you’ll find a curated selection of matcha bowls and accessories with everything you need for the perfect cup of Japanese matcha tea. The range consists of handcrafted matcha bowls, bamboo matcha whisks, matcha scoops, whisk holders and matcha sifters in high quality from Japan.
If you are looking for a matcha cup, the matcha bowl is what you want. In the Japanese tea ceremony the matcha is both whisked and drunk from the same vessel – the chawan is bowl and cup in one. If you would rather have a cup with a handle for your matcha latte, you will find the full range in our cups and mugs collection – and the handcrafted ones among our ceramic cups and mugs.

What is matcha, and why choose Japanese matcha?
Matcha is finely ground green tea in which the whole tea leaf is consumed. This provides natural antioxidants, L-theanine and caffeine. Japanese matcha is renowned for its high quality and characteristic umami flavour, making it the preferred choice for tea lovers worldwide.
How to make a perfect cup of matcha
- Sift the matcha powder into a matcha bowl to avoid lumps.
- Add 70–80 °C hot water (not boiling) and stir into a smooth paste.
- Whisk vigorously in a W or M motion with a matcha whisk until frothy.
- Enjoy as straight matcha – or add warm milk for a creamy matcha latte.
FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions About Matcha Tools
Is a matcha bowl the same as a matcha cup?
In practice, yes. The matcha bowl (chawan) is the vessel the matcha is both whisked and drunk from. It has no handle, but the rim is shaped so you drink straight from the bowl – so it works as your matcha cup. If you are looking for more cups in the same spirit, browse our cups and mugs without handles.
What size should a matcha bowl be?
Most matcha bowls measure Ø 11–13 cm and hold 350–600 ml. The wide opening leaves room to whisk with the chasen without the matcha splashing over the rim.
Can the matcha bowl be used for anything other than matcha?
Yes. Many use the bowl as a generous cup for tea or coffee, or as a small serving bowl. The shape is just as useful in everyday life as in the tea ceremony – see also our ceramic cups and mugs.
Are the matcha tools dishwasher safe?
The ceramics are usually dishwasher safe – please check the individual product page. The bamboo parts (chasen and chashaku) should only be rinsed in lukewarm water and left to air dry.
