There is a lot of variation with tea bowls or Chawans. There are some with a rustic look, some made with the idea of wabi-sabi (roughly meaning embracing imperfection or flawed beauty), some made with a foot, others shallow. This particular type of Chawan is designed to easily whisk Matcha tea with a rounded bottom and taller sides. The size is designed to large enough to whisk tea while being small enough to easily drink directly out of without feeling awkward. This comes with a Matcha Tea whisk for whisking the tea. Chawans can also be considered and used as rice bowls. The bowl itself is handcrafted in Vermont on a pottery wheel using glaze and clay that is lead-free. The bowl is also dishwasher safe. When preparing the Matcha it's best to add the powder with 2 oz. of water, whisk, then slowly stir in more water to taste. It's best to use water that has cooled slightly from a boil. If you use boiling water directly it can make the tea bitter
