About Linea
Minimalist design and modern-looking, these black striped stoneware tumblers are really exquisite. We're fans of thin ceramics, and man are these thin. Glaze and hand-drawn line work are simply wonderful. Because of their thinness, they do get a little on the hot side if you use them for hot coffee or hot brewed teas, but they're ideal for matcha, since properly made matcha is served at lower temperatures. We like drinking beer out of them as well!
Dishwasher, oven, and microwave safe, lead-free glaze.
4" height 3" upper diameter 3.25" lower diameter (tapered)
About Slate
We're in love with these simple stoneware tumblers. They're perfectly shaped for making matcha with the handheld electric foaming wand, and a true pleasure to hold in the hand thanks to their "grippy" and textured exteriors (think slate board or even chalkboard). Interior has a smooth glaze for easy cleanup. Modern, robust, and ideal for matcha.
Safe for dishwashers, microwaves, and ovens. From a family-run coop.

About Fayt Honey
Diana Fayt weaves together her talents as a ceramicist, painter, sculptor, and printmaker in these robust yet intricate tumblers through her signature process of etching in clay. We've never seen anything remotely like them; they create a gravity that pulls you in. For fans of DEFCON (ultrathick) matcha, this is your tumbler.
3.5" tall, 3.25" diameter.
Made in California's Sierra Foothills.
About Koide Desierta
Our fourth tumbler from the always-delightful Kiyomi Koide, who created these radiant, perfect-for-matcha tumblers especially for us in a very limited edition (she made just 10). Stoneware with a mottled desert sand glaze. Solid and robust; the perfect heft.
Dishwasher and microwave safe, but we recommend hand washing (they're a true pleasure to wash). 4" tall, 3.25" diameter. Made in Berkeley, California.
About Koide Flaxen
Our third tumbler from the delightful Kiyomi Koide, who created these joyful and practical tumblers especially for us. Stoneware with a mottled yellow glaze that feels so satisfying in the hand.
4" tall, 3.25" diameter.
Made in Berkeley, California.
Care: Dishwasher and microwave safe, but we recommend hand washing (they're a true pleasure to wash).
About Koide Satin
Berkeley-based Kiyomi Koide created these creamy, satiny, generously sized tumblers for us, and we couldn't be happier with them. White porcelain, creamy white glaze. Dishwasher and microwave safe, but we recommend hand washing (they're a true pleasure to wash). 4" tall, 3.25" diameter. Made in Berkeley, California.
About Pumice
These lovely stoneware cups--sort of halfway between a bowl and a cup--have a textured exterior and smooth-glazed interior for easy cleanup. All beverages look great in these (excellent for small portions of soup, too).
Safe for dishwashers, microwaves, and ovens. From a family-run coop.
Dimensions: 3"x4"
About Sepia
Danny Meissinger makes truly lovely functional clay art near Topeka, Kansas. We presented Danny with the challenge of making two custom tumblers for us, using his signature cracked glazes, a yin and yang if you will, one with a light exterior and dark interior, and its mirror image, a dark exterior and light interior. We're thrilled with the results, and can't imagine you won't be, too. These have wonderful heft, and ever-so-slightly rounded bottoms, a technique exceedingly difficult to pull off. Great as a set!
About Sonora
These perfect tumblers from master ceramicist Jonathan Braun--whose handmade kiln is just up the road from Breakaway Matcha HQ here in San Anselmo, CA--bring us endless pleasure. Jonathan has been making elegant and highly usable ceramics for more than 40 years. We converted him into a matcha drinker, and these beauties are his favorite way to enjoy our matcha. Safe for microwaves, ovens, and dishwasher.
