Handmade glass matcha bowl with pouring spout
A matcha bowl with a built-in pouring spout is a bowl designed for whisking matcha and pouring it directly into a cup or mug — no second vessel needed. This hand-blown borosilicate glass version has a wide, shallow shape that gives your whisk room to move, and a spout that lets you pour cleanly once your matcha is ready.
We use this bowl daily at our Salamanca Tea Bar when making matcha lattes. The wide opening makes it easy to whisk matcha powder into a smooth paste, and the spout means you can pour it straight into a latte cup over steamed milk. If you make matcha lattes at home, this saves you from trying to pour out of a traditional chawan with no lip.
The leaf-boat shape also works as a glass fairness cup (cha hai or gong dao bei) for gongfu tea. The wide, open mouth helps cool tea quickly before serving, which suits teas where you want to taste clarity rather than trap aroma — think aged white teas, light oolongs, or shou puerh.
Product details
- Material: borosilicate glass (heat-resistant, handles boiling water)
- Craft: hand-blown — each piece has subtle individual variations
- Length: approx. 13 cm
- Width: approx. 8.5 cm
- Height: approx. 6–6.5 cm
- Weight: approx. 75 g
- Capacity: approx. 120–170 ml (varies by colour)
- Colour options: Clear / Smoked Dark
The clear version lets you see the colour and texture of your matcha or tea liquor as you pour. The smoked dark version has a muted grey-black tone that looks understated against a wooden tea tray.
This works well for
- Whisking and pouring matcha lattes at home — whisk in the bowl, pour through the spout
- A lightweight glass fairness cup for gongfu tea sessions, especially teas that benefit from cooling
Pairs well with
For matcha: a bamboo matcha whisk (chasen) and bamboo matcha spoon (chashaku) are the essentials. Try it with our HIJIRI-NO-SATO Ceremonial Grade Matcha for everyday drinking, or SEIFU Ceremonial Grade Matcha when you want something richer.
For gongfu tea: pour from your teapot or gaiwan into this bowl, then serve into individual cups. Works well alongside our other fairness cups if you like rotating your tea setup.
How to make a matcha latte
- Add 2–3 g of matcha powder to the bowl (about one to one and a half chashaku scoops).
- Pour in 40–50 ml of water at around 80°C and whisk briskly with a chasen in a W or M motion until smooth and slightly frothy.
- Hot matcha latte: pour the whisked matcha through the spout into your cup, then add hot milk and stir.
- Iced matcha latte: fill a glass with ice, add cold milk, then pour the whisked matcha over the top.
Care
Rinse with warm water after each use and let it air dry. We don't recommend putting it in the dishwasher — hand washing is gentler on the thin walls. Because each piece is hand-blown, you may notice minor variations in thickness or shape.

from 137 reviewsI’m really enjoying this tea. Very smooth, an incredible tea to taste. Highly recommend. Will definitely repurchase and continue to try other teas you recommend. Thankyou
This is seriously a lovely tea. Smooth flavour and no bitterness at all. I usually like milk with my tea but no problems without milk at all. Will definitely purchase again. Thanks
This is a really handy little flask. Just the right size and the temp gauge is a great addition so you know how hot the contents are . Not too big or small just right😄
I love smokiness in most things so when I saw this Lapsang Souchong Original Smoked I grabbed a sample to try and I was blown away.
From the moment you open the packet the aroma of the smokiness hits front and centre.
With smallish leaves I eagerly brewed up. I was presented with a beautiful full amber liquid and the smoke hitting my nose was welcoming.
The only way I can describe this tea is it brings back memories of camping down by the creek on our farm burning pine cones. It’s like a warm hug being able to taste the smell. It reminds me of the smokiness in your clothes once you walk away from that fire.
Full bodied and lovely mouth feel.
I want to write this because I am genuinely impressed with the service I received.
I had an issue with one of the teas I purchased and I emailed A Moment of Tea about it. That morning I received a email back from Zachary profusely apologising about the mishap. In the email Zachary thanked me for the email because they actually found an issue in the OS supplier and worked towards a solution with them that day.
Zachary took the time to explain to me the process as to how this tea was produced and why the issue occurred and what’s happening to fix the issue.
To say the least I was blown away and again would like to thank Zachary for the communication through email. I highly highly recommend anyone with a Chinese Tea love to purchase from here as the teas I have tried so far are top notch. Tea reviews coming.
Jasmine Dragon Pearls / Buddhas Tears - Very subtle Jasmine comes through.
Lapsang Souchong Original Smoked - It’s like getting a hug from the camp fire on your camping trip. Immediately bought back memories of camping and having that smokey smell through your clothes (my favourite atm)
Shou Mei White Tea - very refreshing and bright white tea
So delicious, and a nice touch
I am very impressed with both the service and products. This is my first time I have ordered anything, and will definitely be returning. Many thanks, and congratulations.
I'm very happy with the samples sizes in the Sampler pack, as it enables me to share cups with friends and family to find out what their particular preferences are. Many thanks.
Purchased these at a market on holidays in Tassie several years ago, having been ordering ever since! My whole family love the dragon pearls, beautiful green tea and pretty to watch open up.
Mandarin Pu-erh Post-fermented Tea
Very satisfying flask.
Aged Mandarine Peel 2016

One oif the best Oolongs I have tasted
