The narrow shape helps to keep the matcha warmer and so these bowls are used in the winter months. It is still wider than a yunomi teacup, so there is enough room to whisk the matcha when you tilt the bowl slightly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatcha tea needs a different type of preparation than other teas. Because of the super fine grinding of the leaves (think talcum powder), the tea is traditionally whisked in a bowl with high sides. The whisking prevents clumps of tea powder sticking together, like a bad batch of chunky gravy! The high sided bowl keeps the tea from splashing around. This preparation is part of the beauty of this tea and forces you to take a some time and care. A nice way to start your day, or take your mind off of other concerns for a few moments. Once made, the tea is enjoyed directly from the bowl. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Naked Leaf Calgary","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47404215992602,"sku":null,"price":48.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1533\/3777\/files\/984E2315-1898-4C46-A0B2-A28ACCD889B9.heic?v=1701723088","url":"https:\/\/thenakedleaf.ca\/products\/matcha-bowl-golden-floral-795","provider":"The Naked Leaf Calgary","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
