Original Japanese tea spoon Chashaku – handmade teaspoon made of light wood

A spoon that can do more than measure

It doesn't take much to make a moment special – sometimes a narrow, handcrafted wooden spoon is all it takes. The Japanese teaspoon, known as chashaku (茶杓), used in tea ceremonies for centuries, is designed not only to measure powder or leaves, but also to bring calm and mindfulness into everyday life. Scooping matcha or fine tea leaves with it isn't just a gesture – it's a conscious pause.

Crafts that touch

Crafted from light, untreated wood and sanded in a traditional shape, this matcha spoon sits comfortably lightly in the hand. At 14 cm long and weighing only approximately 4 grams, it appears almost weightless – yet it is precise, balanced, and stable. Not an industrial product, but the result of artisanal expertise and a living tea culture.

The natural structure tells its own story

Each spoon displays its own unique wood grain – sometimes soft, sometimes vibrant, sometimes with small inclusions reminiscent of delicate leaf veins. This is precisely what makes it so special: It doesn't appear perfect, but rather honest. As if the wood itself were telling its story – and passing on a piece of it with each serving of tea.

A tool for your very own tea moment

Whether you're stirring matcha in a chawan or adding loose green tea to your kyusu, this spoon gives you precision and a sense of the essentials. It's functional, but not sober. Simple, but not interchangeable. A true tea spoon , as it was originally intended: as a companion, not as a tool.

Mindfulness in care – tea time for many years

To ensure you enjoy your green tea spoon for a long time, store it in a dry place and do not clean it with water. A gentle tap is sufficient. This keeps the wood vibrant and the chashaku ready for many quiet, warm tea moments.
