Bamboo Tea Bowl

Description

I am a Bamboo Tea Bowl. I’ll get you all mixed up.

Curator’s Notes

I like this particular bowl because it feels more casual and approachable than many other tea bowls or ceremonial chawans. It’s body is made from a single piece of sturdy bamboo, so I never hesitate to use it to mix up a morning matcha (or even a matcha latte) with a tea whisk. While very simple, the bamboo’s grain creates a striking pattern at the bottom of the bowl. It is lightweight, and very easy to clean, making it perfect for every day use.
