TSUBAME CHASAJI (TEA SCOOP)

A chasaji (茶匙) is a Japanese tea-tool specifically designed to measure and transfer tea leaves into a teapot.

The Tsubame Chasaji is handcrafted by artisans in the Tsubame region of Niigata, Japan, which has a metalworking tradition dating back over 400 years. Each chasaji is hand-hammered to create a dimpled tsuchime (槌目) pattern that improves grip and prevents tea leaves from sticking to the surface.
