Moya Matcha Traditional 30 g

High-quality organic matcha from the first and second harvest. Moya Matcha Traditional has an intense green color, a well-balanced bitter-sweet taste, and a delicate tea aftertaste. Perfect for drinking in the traditional way, as well as for preparing matcha latte, smoothies, and cocktails.

Matchawan

The matcha bowl is handmade on a potter’s wheel from gray clay with a delicate addition of chamotte and glaze prepared according to centuries-old Japanese traditions.

The matchawan is a traditional tool used in the Japanese tea ceremony. It is also by far the most convenient vessel for drinking matcha, which is best whisked with a bamboo whisk (chasen). Its vertical walls and wide base make it easy to whisk matcha in water and quickly create a layer of foam on the surface. It is important to remember that the water temperature used for preparing matcha should not exceed 80 °C.

The bowl was created as part of a special limited series KOOE for MOYA, made by the Kraków ceramic studio KOOE. The products are characterized not only by beautiful forms but also by exceptional durability due to high-temperature firing.

Since each bowl is handmade on the potter’s wheel, it may slightly differ from the one in the photo.

Dishwasher safe.

Bamboo matcha whisk – chasen

A traditional Japanese whisk for frothing matcha tea. The whisk is made from a single piece of bamboo, where precise cuts and careful binding with cotton string create delicate prongs. When properly shaped, they produce a jade-like foam while whisking matcha. Using the chasen, you whisk in the bowl with W- or M-shaped motions. This allows the matcha to blend thoroughly with water into a suspension, while a thin layer of foam forms on the tea’s surface. Perfect frothing is possible thanks to the flexible bamboo bristles of the chasen. These bristles are gently curved at the bottom, gathered together at the top, and finished with a special wooden handle.
