Collage Acacia Wood Tea Bowl
Serax is a project bringing together some of the most talented artists from around the world, specializing in creating unique pieces of applied art. In their search for balance between functionality, aesthetics, and Japanese tradition, Belgian artists Giel Dedeurwaerder & Brent Neve created the exceptional Collage set. As they put it themselves: "We managed to find the perfect balance in proportions, materials, and shape. This means the Collage set works beautifully not just for its main purpose, but also as an original decorative piece." Their creation fits perfectly into the Japanese tea ceremony.
The Collage bowls are a contemporary take on traditional Japanese craftsmanship. Belgian artists Dedeurwaerder & Neve managed to combine unique design, top-quality craftsmanship, and functionality. The shape and proportions of the pieces make them comfortable to use, and earned their creators an award at the prestigious Henry Van De Velde 2019 design competition. The Collage cups are made from fine acacia wood, whose warm, matte color gives them a distinctive character. To preserve the bowl's qualities, Collage pieces should only be washed by hand, and storing them in a dark, dry place will help keep their natural color and shape lasting longer.

We suggest three ways to prepare matcha. The first is the traditional preparation in a bowl using a chasen whisk, using “M” or “Z” shaped motions. Matcha can also be prepared in a mug or bowl using a milk frother. The third way is to prepare matcha in a shaker or bottle – simply add the matcha to the liquid and shake vigorously for 30 seconds. The optimal water temperature for matcha is approximately 80°C. Higher temperatures will cause the matcha to lose its nutritional value. You can also easily prepare matcha in cold water. The optimal amount of matcha is about 1.5 g of powder per 200-250 ml of liquid.
The most versatile and frequently chosen option is Traditional Matcha. It comes from the first and second harvest of leaves, which contributes to a moderate level of bitterness and a distinct umami taste. It is an excellent choice for drinking with water as well as in the form of matcha lattes and smoothies. For experienced matcha connoisseurs, we recommend Luxury Matcha from the first harvest, which is perfect for drinking with water and contains the most nutrients. If you like an intense flavor and use matcha mostly for matcha lattes, smoothies, desserts, and baked goods, choose Daily Matcha, which comes from the second and third harvest.
Matcha is very sensitive to sunlight and high temperatures, which can cause it to lose its properties. Matcha should be stored in its original, sealed packaging in a shaded, cool place, preferably in the refrigerator. This will ensure it stays fresh for a long time.
Loose-leaf tea is consumed as an infusion, meaning what the leaves release into the water. Matcha, on the other hand, consists of powdered tea leaves that are consumed in their entirety after being mixed with liquid. By drinking matcha, you are therefore consuming the whole leaves. In this way, all the nutrients contained within them enter your body. Furthermore, matcha is several times more potent than loose-leaf tea.
