Tea scoop for outdoor tea ceremony. Tea scoop, with matching container, made of smoked bamboo. The matching container has a small crack on the top. This smoked bamboo is from a thatched-roof house that was dismantled about 50 years ago, after being stored for many years. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about natural imperfections such as scratches. Smoked bamboo usually has cracks and splits. It is difficult to find smoked bamboo suitable for making containers, and even small imperfections are valuable.
