Our commitment to tradition and natural beauty is evident in the choice of material - the "soot bamboo". This unique bamboo is sources from the attics and ceilings of aged thatched roof houses, where it has been naturally smoked over a hearth for more than a century. This process bestows the bamboo with a rich, natural brown hue, a testament to its heritage and the passage of time. As the availability of such historical buildings dwindles, the soot bamboo stands out as a rare and valuable material, infusing each tea scoop with a sense of history and exclusivity. 

*Given the handmade nature and the use of natural materials, each tea scoop is unique, with slight variations in texture and color. There variations highlight the individual character of each piece, ensuring that your tea scoop is one of a kind. 

*To maintain the beauty and integrity of your bamboo tea scoop, we recommend a simple cleaning method: gently wipe off any matcha residue with a dry cloth. This care ensures your scoop remains a cherished part of your tea ceremony for years to come.

Embrace the rare and exquisite craftsmanship of soot bamboo with our tea scoops, and add a touch of history and tradition to your matcha experience.
