Matcha Set - Otis with Limited Edition Uji Matcha
Read Full Description
The Matcha Set - Otis brings together three handmade stoneware pieces from the Viola Beuscher studio, a bamboo whisk and a tin of single-estate Uji matcha: a partially glazed pouring bowl, a matcha cup and a whisk holder in transparent glaze.
Every ceramic piece is handmade from stoneware clay sourced from the German Westerwald and fired at 1220 °C. From raw clay to the finished piece, it takes 14 days and 12 steps. The pouring bowl measures Ø 11 cm, the cup Ø 9 cm at H 6.5 cm and 250 ml, the whisk holder Ø 5 cm. The ceramic pieces are food-safe and dishwasher safe.
The tea is our Limited Edition Uji Matcha, 30 g for roughly 15 servings, a single-estate matcha from a small farmer in Uji, Kyoto: clean, velvety and lightly sweet, cultivars Okumidori and Samidori. It is produced in small volume, so it can run out ahead of the next harvest. A 100 percent bamboo whisk (chasen) comes with it.
Glossy black and transparent glazes meet the bare stoneware, and because each piece is dipped by hand, no two sets carry exactly the same contrast. Nothing else is needed to start: whisk in the bowl, pour into the cup, stand the whisk in the holder to dry in shape.
