These long bamboo scoops are known as Cha He in Mandarin, this tool is part of the traditional ceremonial equipage. We think it can also find a rightful place in more practical and daily habits like having to scoop-up leaves from your favourite caddies or urns. These particular scoops are made from bamboo cuttings taken from shoots at the root level at a very specific step in the growth of the tree. It is only at that moment that the tree proposes this unique knuckle shape at the root level that is so comfortable to handle and beautiful to the eye. Not only do you need to know precisely when and where to cut but you need to be an expert bamboo craftsman to expertly dry and work this difficult piece of wood into such tea making jewels. This limited number of unique scoops measure between 17 cm to 21 cm with a diameter of around 3 cm. We’ve waited nearly a year for a small quantity to be made available to us since they are made by one of the woodworkers making our selection of bamboo tea trays, during his spare time. This year’s offering features the natural green skin of the plant that was specially processed to preserve its natural colour. Each scoop was then polished and waxed. No solvent based finished were used in the finishing of these scoops in order not to taint your precious teas. Very often we’ve seen similar scoops offered at 2 to 3 times the price and none had the same finesse and high level of craftsmanship as these. We are very lucky to be able to propose these fine tools to you at this exceptional price. Proudly handmade in Nantou County, Taiwan.
