Bamboo Matcha Spoon (Chashaku)
Bamboo Matcha Spoon (Chashaku)
Couldn't load pickup availability
A bamboo matcha spoon (chashaku, 茶杓) is a curved scoop used to measure matcha powder before whisking. Each one is hand-carved from a single piece of bamboo, shaped to hold roughly 1g of matcha per heaped scoop — the right amount for a standard bowl of usucha (thin tea). Two scoops for a stronger cup.
How to use
Scoop 1–2 heaped measures of matcha powder into your matcha bowl. Sift it through a fine mesh strainer if you have one — this breaks up clumps and makes whisking easier. Add 70–80ml of 80°C water and whisk briskly with a bamboo chasen in a W-shaped motion until the surface is frothy.
Two bamboo options
We carry this chashaku in white bamboo ($9) and purple bamboo ($12). Both work the same way — the purple bamboo has a slightly denser grain and darker colour that deepens with use.
Care
Soak in cold water for two minutes before first use. After each session, rinse with water only — no soap. Wipe dry and store in a cool place. Don't leave it sitting in liquid.

from 148 reviewsMy absolute favourite tea—so beautiful, with such complex and rich flavours. For the second infusion, I’ve begun to cold brew it over night in the fridge and that brings out a lot of the more floral notes- i highly recommend, to make the most of this tea!!
Great shop, excellent products and staff are fantastic
A truly lovely cup of tea
A lovely selection of teas. I have enjoyed them.
Good to start with if you haven't tried Puerh teas before.
Thank you.

Aged White Tea 2012 (Lao Bai Cha)
A good quality chen pi at a great price. Much better than the chen pi found in supermarkets.
I’m really enjoying this tea. Very smooth, an incredible tea to taste. Highly recommend. Will definitely repurchase and continue to try other teas you recommend. Thankyou
This is seriously a lovely tea. Smooth flavour and no bitterness at all. I usually like milk with my tea but no problems without milk at all. Will definitely purchase again. Thanks
This is a really handy little flask. Just the right size and the temp gauge is a great addition so you know how hot the contents are . Not too big or small just right😄
I love smokiness in most things so when I saw this Lapsang Souchong Original Smoked I grabbed a sample to try and I was blown away.
From the moment you open the packet the aroma of the smokiness hits front and centre.
With smallish leaves I eagerly brewed up. I was presented with a beautiful full amber liquid and the smoke hitting my nose was welcoming.
The only way I can describe this tea is it brings back memories of camping down by the creek on our farm burning pine cones. It’s like a warm hug being able to taste the smell. It reminds me of the smokiness in your clothes once you walk away from that fire.
Full bodied and lovely mouth feel.
