Know before you buy
Aged bamboo undergoes a specialized drying process that removes excess moisture, significantly increasing the material's density and durability. This process helps prevent the tools from warping or cracking over time, even with frequent exposure to humidity during tea sessions.
To maintain the longevity of your bamboo set, hand wash them with mild soap and warm water, then dry them immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid soaking them in water or placing them in the dishwasher, as this can compromise the natural fibers and the hand-painted finish.
Yes, these tools are versatile enough for any tea variety. The scoop is ideal for measuring loose-leaf teas, while the pick is particularly useful for breaking apart compressed tea cakes or clearing debris from a teapot spout.
Because each piece is individually hand-carved by Suzhou artisans, there will be subtle variations in the grain, shape, and finish. These unique characteristics are a hallmark of the craftsmanship and ensure that your set is a one-of-a-kind piece.
The tea pick is a functional tool used to gently break apart compressed tea, such as pu-erh cakes or bricks, without damaging the delicate leaves. It can also be used to clear tea leaves that may become lodged in the spout of a teapot during brewing.
