Introducing the Emptea Katana, a handcrafted bamboo tea scoop made from antique bamboo aged 100-200 years. Sourced from the rafters of old thatched-roof houses and naturally smoked over traditional irori hearths, this bamboo develops a unique tea brown patina. The scoop comes with a traditional tea chest (tomozutsu), offering both practical and elegant storage. Each Emptea Katana scoop is individually handcrafted, giving every piece its own natural variations and character.
Authentically crafted and shipped from Japan.

Unique Features: Each Katana is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. The natural characteristics of the bamboo, including carved grooves, node positions, and spine strength, create distinct personalities for every scoop. The meticulous crafting ensures that no two pieces are alike.
The Beauty of Aging: Over time, the Katana Chashaku evolves naturally. Its edges soften, resulting in a smoother and more comfortable feel. This aging process enhances the scoop’s value and personal significance, allowing it to develop a unique character that harmonizes with the aesthetics of the tea ceremony.
