hi guys!
id like to ask about the difference between the regular high walled matcha bowls vs the summer bowls...
are there a lot of people here using summer matcha bowls? if so, is it hard to use? does it splatter easily considering the walls are low...?
im new to matcha and would like to buy my first bowl... and im in the process of selecting one... so far the summer bowls do appeal more than the regular ones to me because it looks unique. also, its summer all year round where i live

Usually the Summer bowls are significantly wider, thus preventing splashing.
If you experience splashing, you can always prepare the matcha in a seperate bowl and pour into the Summer Chawan.

It's always summer here but I prefer the shape of the so called 'winter bowls'.
