Quanzhou, Fujian
White pottery has been a much heralded expertise in Quanzhou for close to 1,000 years, with a long-established export hub developing around it as a result. During the Song dynasty when ground tea was popularised, the prefecture thrived both in its production of tea and tea wares so it makes sense to look to this area as a trusted source for matcha accoutrement.
This "Moonlight White" clay whilst steeped in history makes itself relevant again for today's aesthetic. The bowl design is not only stylish but with a straight untapered body, wide diameter and generous depth, it is practical and ergonomic for whisking matcha especially for those who like to share their concoction. And if you like matcha with extra crema, the two-tone bowl with its roughened base lends extra grip allowing you to whisk with unbridled vigour.
