A Chashaku is a specially shaped bamboo spoon for measuring matcha powder and is part of every traditional Japanese tea ceremony. It is carved from bamboo and bent into its characteristic spoon shape by hand using steam and a lot of patience. Unlike a metal spoon, a bamboo Chashaku does not become statically charged. This allows the matcha powder to slide almost completely off the spoon into the matcha bowl. As long as the bamboo spoon does not get wet, it can be easily wiped with a clean and dry cloth after use. However, if the Chashaku becomes wet and dirty, it should be rinsed under clear running water without detergent, wiped with a cotton cloth, and then air-dried. This prevents the matcha powder from sticking to the bamboo spoon. Distributor: Matcha Passion GmbH - Hofriedgasse 8 - 97776 Eußenheim - Germany - www.matchapassion.de - kontakt@matchapassion.de
