This is a wooden tea scoop (matcha scoop/tea spoon) with a beautiful wood grain. Carved from a very hard and dense wood (possibly karaki such as ebony or rosewood, but details are unknown), this is a one-of-a-kind piece with a deep flavor. It has a different feel from the typical bamboo tea scoop, with a sense of weight and wabi-sabi. The unique carving of the handle and the sharp shape of the tip are beautiful, and the texture fits comfortably in the hand. 【Uses and Charm】 ● As a tea utensil As a tea scoop for scooping matcha, or as a tea spoon (tea measure) for putting sencha tea leaves into a teapot. Your usual tea time will become even richer and more relaxing. ● As a fragrance tool/spoon As a fragrance tool for listening to incense (monko), or as a spoon for scooping seasonings and spices, you can use it as a tool of your choice. ● Beautiful aging You can enjoy the way the wood grain is polished and the luster and depth increase the more you use it. 【Condition】 As a vintage tea utensil, there are fine scratches due to use and variations in the color of the wood, but there are no cracks or chips that would interfere with use. We would be happy to sell it to someone who understands the scenery unique to old tools. Size: Total length approx. 18.5cm 【Shipping】 We will carefully pack it with cushioning material and ship it. Please consider it after understanding that it is a used item.
