The Cuillère en Bambou Chashaku 180 mm is the traditional measuring spoon for matcha. It is carved from a single piece of bamboo and ends in a fine curve that scoops up the green tea powder. More precise than an ordinary spoon, it is made for this one task: taking the right measure of matcha.

Which teas?

The chashaku measures out matcha, the powdered green tea. It naturally has its place beside a tin of Matcha Uji, when you prepare your bowl.

How to use it?

Allow about two chashaku measures per bowl, a little more or a little less depending on the intensity you prefer. Scoop the powder with the curved part, then tip it into the bowl.

The matcha trio

The chashaku is one of the three essential utensils for preparing matcha, along with the bowl, called chawan, and the whisk, called chasen. The Chasen de Bambou pour Matcha completes the chashaku, and our matcha accessories range brings together the utensils for preparation. For the steps of preparation, step by step, read our matcha guide.

How to care for it?

After use, wipe the chashaku dry or pass it briefly under water, then leave it to air dry. This small utensil, light and natural, needs little care.
