INITIATION
We strongly recommend initiating the Raku tea bowl before use!
Raku chawan are very fragile, as the clay is very porous. When initiating with lukewarm water containing rice powder, the powder goes into the pores and strengthens the structure of the pottery.
If ordered with initiation, we can do it for you before sending the raku chawan to you. If you prefer to do the initiation yourself, you can read more about how to do it below or in our blog post about Raku chawan (also linked below).

Handling precautions

Initiation:
Before the first use of a Raku chawan, sit it in lukewarm water with a cup of hard rice for about 15 minutes, so that the water completely covers the bowl. The rice powder in the water helps to seal the pores of the Rakuchawan, strengthens the walls and makes it less fragile.

Cleaning:
To clean, dip the tea bowl in lukewarm water: a new bowl for one or two minutes; an older one for about 30 seconds to keep it clean, keep it from being covered with stains and to prevent damage. Do not let it sit in water, for the tea bowl will fall apart!

Storage:
When not in use, dry the tea bowl with a towel. Afterward – especially during the wet season – put it in an airy place and keep it dry. Otherwise, the tea bowl could be damaged and/or develop a damp smell. If the smell clings to the bowl, make tea with it every day. The smell is usually gone in a week. If not, contact us or the producers of the tea bowl for advice.

Usage:
Raku Chawan is a type of Japanese pottery traditionally used in Japanese tea ceremonies, characterized by being porous, which allows the carbon dioxide to pass through a small hole. Hot water, therefore, might ooze through the tea bowl. This bowl is also vulnerable to acid, so it is not advisable to put acid foods in it. Raku Chawan is not to be used as dishware!
Thanks to the small pores and structure of Raku Chawan, over time small, and in rare cases, bigger fractures might appear on the bowl. This can be prevented by correct initiation but is still natural to happen.
