Shop Teaware Kyo-yaki Chawan (Matcha Bowls) | Japanese Matcha Bowl – Yohei Nakamura – Kohiki Kyo-Yaki Summer Chawan – 250Ml

This Elegant Kyo-Yaki Flat Tea Bowl Is Made In Classic Kohiki Style And Covered With White Paste, Except For The Hima : A Narrow The Wedge, Deliberately Left Unslipped, Reveals The Bare Clay Underneath. Its Flat, Wide Shape Is Ideal For Use In The Warmer Months As It Cools Tea Quickly.

Like Most Kohiki Vessels, This Tea Bowl Is Porous And Will Absorb Water And Tea, Subtly Changing Color Over Time. Before First Use, We Recommend Soaking The Entire Unit In Warm Water For At Least One Hour. This Allows Water To Fill Cracks And Pores, Slowing Down The Rate At Which Tea Contaminates The Clay. Slowing Down The Dyeing Process Allows For Natural And Beautiful Color Changes. Next, We Recommend Rinsing The Bowl With Hot Water Before Making Tea, As You Would With Any Tea Bowl.
