MATCHAPAPA x LUA Chawan
A vessel inspired by the moon, made for your matcha ritual.
This limited-edition MATCHAPAPA x LUA Chawan is the result of a heartfelt collaboration with Franzi, founder of LUA the Label.
Handbuilt in Portugal from stone clay, each bowl is truly unique — glazed on the inside, raw and groggy on the outside, as if you were holding a piece of the moon.
With a diameter of approx. 13 cm and a height of approx. 10 cm, it is the perfect size for whisking and enjoying your daily matcha ritual. No two chawans are alike — variations in glaze, form, and texture are part of their natural, handcrafted beauty.
USE & CARE
USE & CARE
Your chawan is made to last, but as with all artisanal ceramics, mindful care will preserve its beauty for years to come.
- Dishwasher safe — though we recommend gentle handwashing for longevity.
- Allow the chawan to dry completely before storing.
- Do not use abrasive sponges or steel wool — they may leave marks on the surface.
- Do not place in freezer, oven, or on direct heat — it is not heat-shock resistant.
- Do not expose to sudden temperature changes (e.g., boiling water straight after cold storage).
- Do not use for cooking or reheating.
IMPORTANT NOTE
IMPORTANT NOTE
Each chawan is a unique piece of functional art. Small irregularities in shape, size, and glaze are not imperfections, but part of the character of handbuilt ceramics.
Over time, natural matcha pigments may leave light discoloration on the bowl — a sign of a well-loved ritual, not a flaw.


Let customers speak for us
from 42 reviewsI used to make matcha at home all the time, then stopped for a while. When I decided to start again, I wanted something high quality. The most important thing for me is that it tastes good and has that original matcha flavor. This one is exactly to my liking — even just opening the tin, you can already tell: it smells amazing and has a beautiful, vibrant green color.
Every cup I’ve made has been flavorful, and I especially enjoy the rich umami taste this matcha brings. I’d recommend experimenting with different types of milk, as I did, to find the one that complements the flavor best. A very overpowering milk can cover up the delicate notes, and that would be a shame, because the taste of this matcha really deserves to shine through.
Yes, it’s slightly more expensive compared to some others I saw online, but I’m so glad I went for it. If you’re looking to make matcha at home with truly quality ingredients, this is one I’d definitely recommend.

I‘ve tried many matchas before but the taste and deep green color of Matchapapa is unmatched. Website and shipping all worked perfectly, I do highly recommend Matchapapa 🤩

Amazing ceremonial grade matcha, perfect to make your matcha lattes at home. Subtle taste, nice color

A matcha brand made with love. From the packaging to the taste and quality of the matcha - simply amazing. Love the attention to detail.

I think this is the best matcha I´ve had so far, wow!!!!

No sólo es buena calidad sino que el packaging y branding son 10/10

Best matcha I’ve tasted since coming Home from Japan! So high quality, with a perfectly balanced flavour and vibrant green colour. Love, love, love!

Really delicious and super quality matcha!! (love the chasen!)

I didn’t expect that amazing taste , texture. Officially in my best 3 brands of matcha ! Thanks for all ! You have me as long last customer 😍😍😍

This was the first matcha I’ve tried and it was so delicious! It’s definitely a “beginner-friendly” taste. It’s creamy and has a slight nutty taste. I loved it so much that I’m onto my second batch! 10/10 Highly Recommend.

I love the powder, its so good!
Whisks into the creamiest matcha ever, taste is also stunning! Will definitely be repurchasing ⭐️

The shipping to England seemed to take a bit longer than usual from EU but once it arrived… this matcha is really good, especially for a non-Japanese brand. It’s creamy, well seived and not oxidised. The branding is cute too unlike some brands now. The next step is to offer 100g tins as well as 30!

If you want to make a gift for yourself, I highly recommend buying this matcha. The flavor is extraordinary, fresh with notes of vanilla and chocolate😍
