Every time I make myself some matcha tea, I love looking at the soft, delicate green of this bowl. The colour itself brings me peace... I see it as the ideal bowl: not extravagant-looking, perfect size (for me, 200-250ml each time), and -very important- not too heavy! Some matcha bowls look very nice, but they are far too heavy to be practical. Here's quality and simplicity... a pleasure just in itself.
