Origami Japan Katakuchi Matcha Bowl - Cloud White
LIMITED STOCK! This product was jointly developed by ORIGAMI and Saten Japanese tea. The capacity is enough for one to two cups of ordinary matcha (thin tea).

The use of a new stone-like material called "Re-stone," which is strong enough to withstand the rigors of professional tableware, combined with a matte glaze with a warm texture, gives the item a traditional tea ceremony atmosphere and craft-like gentleness.$45.00

Gathers Tea Bar is a specialty café in Chicago dedicated to crafting tea-forward drinks that honor tradition while embracing creativity. Open since 2019, our mission is to bring people together over thoughtfully sourced teas and matcha. We work directly with producers in Japan, Taiwan, and beyond, highlighting regional flavors like Uji and Yame matcha, roasted hojicha, and fragrant oolongs. Every detail matters—from whisking matcha by hand to cooking boba fresh throughout the day - to ensure balance, texture, and integrity in every cup. Our menu blends classics with seasonal innovations, featuring milk teas, fruit teas, lattes, and cream toppers made with real ingredients, never shortcuts. More than a café, Gathers is a space where community, culture, and craft converge. Whether you’re a lifelong tea drinker or just beginning your journey, we invite you to slow down, connect, and share in the joy of tea.
