It's an integral part of the traditional tea ceremony (\u003ci\u003echado\u003c\/i\u003e) and a key element of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/moyamatcha.com\/kategoria-produktu\/zestawy-z-matcha\/zestawy-ceremonialne-do-matchy\/\"\u003eceremonial sets\u003c\/a\u003e.

Matcha scoops were originally also made from ivory. This tool - as with Moya's chashaku - is typically 18 cm long. The inner side, used for scooping the tea, is smooth, while the outer side is slightly rough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eMoya's light chashaku is made from 4-5 year old \u003ci\u003ePhyllostachys pubescens\u003c\/i\u003e bamboo from the Anji region of China. The bamboo is sun-dried for about 7-10 days, then seasoned in storage for a year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to use a Japanese matcha scoop?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou use the curved part of the scoop to lift small portions of powder from the container (\u003cem\u003echaki\u003c\/em\u003e) and place them into the bowl. The matcha is then mixed with a little water using a chasen, or bamboo whisk, until it reaches a smooth consistency with foam covering the entire surface of the drink. Using a chashaku takes precision and focus, since the powdered tea can easily spill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow much matcha should you measure with a chashaku?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe amount of matcha you need depends on what you're making - for example, matcha latte, usucha, or koicha. For the perfect matcha drink, simply measure out two chashaku scoops and whisk vigorously with 50 ml of water, using Z- or N-shaped movements, then top up with 150 ml of milk or tonic water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsucha and koicha are the two traditional methods of preparing matcha. Usucha is the more common of the two, as it's served not only during ceremonies but also as an everyday tea. It's usually made with one chashaku scoop and about 75-100 ml of water at around 80°C. These proportions guarantee a perfect layer of foam on top. Koicha, on the other hand, calls for a much larger amount of matcha - as much as 4-6 chashaku scoops per 150 ml of water. This makes it much thicker, and it shouldn't foam at all. It's drunk almost exclusively during the Japanese tea ceremony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to care for your chashaku?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA chashaku should never be washed by hand or in the dishwasher, as water and detergent could seep into the bamboo's structure and damage it. Since the tool is only ever used to scoop dry matcha, simply wipe it with a soft, dry cloth after use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moya Matcha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53696762904923,"sku":"MA203","price":12.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1021\/4290\/2619\/files\/chashaku-lyzeczka-do-matchy-moya-1.png?v=1785499967","url":"https:\/\/www.moyamatcha.com\/en\/products\/chashaku-matcha-bamboo-spoon","provider":"Moya Matcha","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
