Simply prewarm the bowl with a hot water rinse, add a small handful of tea leaves, then fill two thirds of the way with hot water. As the leaves slowly unfurl, the flavor of your tea will evolve, offering hours of warm company. The bowl can be refilled with water as needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe best tea bowls for this brewing style act like extensions of the hand, vessels intended to be cradled throughout the day. Taiwanese potter, Zhang Hao Yan is a master of this form, each bowl gently curved and sized to hold close. Thrown from dark stoneware and trimmed by hand on the potter’s wheel, the surface is colored in mottled greens and dark chocolate, the by-product of ash and flame on their pathways through the wood-fired kiln. Appearing almost volcanic in nature, its form and coloring offer an echo of the natural warmth tea bowl drinking provides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsage and care: To wash, simply rinse between uses or hand scrub.
