Matchaeologist is a matcha brand sourcing exclusively from Uji, Kyoto, Japan, offering a curated range of ceremonial and culinary grades. Its matcha is grown using the traditional Honzu method, a 30-day shading process with rice-straw mats before harvest.
The collection includes cultivars Misaki, Matsu, and Meiko for drinking, and Midori and Mirai for culinary use, all processed from first-flush tencha ground slowly on granite stone mills.
The Matchaeologist Bamboo Chashaku Matcha Scoop is a traditional portioning utensil carved from golden bamboo. Its smooth, gently curved shape is designed to hold and dispense fine matcha powder, with each scoop portioning about half a serving. The handmade construction gives each piece slight variation, so the portion is approximate rather than exact.
The scoop is designed in line with Matchaeologist brewing instructions to measure about half a serving of matcha. Its nominal portion is approximately 1/2 g, with variations of plus or minus 10%. The amount can vary because the utensil is handmade and because matcha density is not always identical.
This chashaku is therefore intended as a traditional matcha portioning tool rather than an exact measuring instrument. The curved end is shaped to hold the fine powder and dispense it during preparation.
Each chashaku is carved from a piece of golden bamboo and formed with a smooth, gentle bend. The scoop measures 1 inch in diameter and 6.1 inches in length. Variations may occur from one utensil to another due to its handmade nature.
The Bamboo Chashaku is designed as an accompaniment to the Matchaeologist Full-Hand Chasen. Its specific role is to portion matcha powder, using the curved bamboo end to hold and dispense the measured amount. The Matcha portioning scoop format is currently available.
After each use, rinse the scoop with cold water. It should then be dried in a well-ventilated area. Following these handling directions keeps care limited to the actions specified for this handmade bamboo utensil.
