Crafted in Kakunodate, Akita Prefecture by skilled artisans, this charming tea scoop is made using kabazaiku, the traditional Japanese craft of shaping wild cherry bark. Its adorable gourd shape is designed for easy scooping and fits perfectly inside your tea canister, making it an ideal daily companion for tea lovers.
Like the tea caddy, this scoop benefits from the natural moisture-regulating properties of cherry bark, ensuring gentle care for your tea leaves. Over time, the bark deepens in colour and gains a soft, warm sheen - each scoop becoming more beautiful and unique with use.
With a heritage stretching back to 1876, this tea scoop blends precise craftsmanship with natural elegance. It’s not just a tool, it’s a living piece of Japanese tradition that adds charm and functionality to every tea ritual.
