Arita porcelain is one of the best-known and most traditional porcelain cultures in Japan: Arita is considered the birthplace of Japanese porcelain, and the pieces from there carry centuries of craftsmanship. Arita-yaki is known for its refined workmanship, elegant forms, and light, delicate porcelain surfaces.
This chawan strikes a nice balance between aesthetics and usability. The 250ml total capacity gives you enough space to comfortably froth your matcha, while still maintaining the intimate, hand-held character of the cup. It may be an ideal choice for those who see matcha preparation not just as a routine, but as a quiet, orderly moment.
Arita porcelain has historically been famous for its finely crafted white-based porcelain, and has been highly regarded for centuries in both Japan and Europe. In addition to the classic blue-and-white tradition, the Arita style has expanded over time to include richer, more colorful forms, but its commitment to quality and sense of proportion has always remained.
This chawan is therefore not only a practical tea utensil, but also an object that beautifully connects modern everyday life with the long tradition of Japanese porcelain making. It is especially recommended for matcha, but also a piece in itself that brings silence and order to the table with its presence.

Personal contact
Our teas don't come from wholesale warehouses or unknown sources. We travel to the small producers we source from – whether it's a Japanese family tea garden, a Chinese mountain village or an oolong maker in Taiwan.
Stories
We meet them in person, learn their story, see how they care for their plants, and how they process the fresh leaves.
These experiences are the soul of our teas. This way, not only is the quality guaranteed, but also the fact that behind each cup there is a real person, a real story.
Direct
This direct relationship is valuable to us. Not only because of the excellent tea, but because we believe that trust, respect and personal presence are what make the tea drinking experience truly special.
