Chawan

The tea bowl. Its wide base gives the chasen room to whisk without splashing.

Dry the inside well before sifting: a drop of water turns into a clump.

Glossary 2
Chawan
Traditional Japanese bowl used to prepare and drink matcha. Wide and deep enough to allow whisking with the chasen.
Chasen
Bamboo whisk with 80–120 prongs used to mix matcha with water and form foam. A fast 'M' or 'W' motion is most efficient.
