Know before you buy
A standard chashaku scoop holds approximately 1 gram of matcha powder. This is the traditional amount recommended for a single serving of thin tea (usucha).
Simply wipe the scoop with a clean, dry cloth after each use. Avoid using soap or soaking it in water, as bamboo is a natural material that can warp or crack if exposed to excessive moisture.
Yes, this scoop is designed specifically for use with matcha powder. Its curved shape is ideal for gathering fine powders from both tins and traditional tea caddies.
Bamboo is naturally heat-resistant, durable, and does not impart any metallic or chemical flavors into the tea. Its flexibility also allows for a gentle, precise pour into your tea bowl.
