Tea Scoop

A lacquer tea utensil that brings quiet intention to tea time

This tea scoop is a lacquered tea utensil created for use in tea preparation.
Designed for the specific act of scooping matcha, it gently supports the movement and sensitivity of the hand within this limited, deliberate gesture. Its restrained and simple appearance brings a sense of calm and focus to the tea experience itself.

A light, gentle form that fits naturally in the hand

Made from bamboo and finished with lacquer, the surface has a smooth, matte texture.
Extremely lightweight, the scoop requires no unnecessary force from the fingers, allowing matcha to be lifted with a natural, unstrained motion. The softness created by the combination of bamboo and lacquer feels comfortable from the moment it is picked up.

Repeated handwork devoted to a small utensil

Because of its small size, the tea scoop requires particularly careful attention during the lacquering process.
To prevent the handle from absorbing excess moisture, the scoop is dried between applications, and the brush angle and movement are adjusted repeatedly during coating. Including the polishing stages, nearly all processes are done by hand, with time taken to complete each piece carefully and deliberately.
