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 by traditional irori hearths, this bamboo features a unique tea brown patina. The scoop comes with a traditional tea chest (tomozutsu), providing both practical and elegant storage.

Authentically crafted and shipped from Japan.

First batch pre-orders will begin shipping around late October.

Details

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.

Inside the Crafting Process

 

Care Instructions

To remove the Yoshino cedar stopper from the bamboo tube, gently alternate upward pressure with your thumb and index finger on both sides of the stopper to avoid cracking it.

Handle the chashaku gently when scooping matcha. After use, wipe with a soft, dry cloth and avoid contact with water. With proper care, the chashaku will age gracefully, developing a unique character over time.
