TOMIOKA
Cherry Bark Tea Scoop
Crafted in the form of a traditional gourd (hyōtan), this tea scoop offers both charm and practicality. Designed for gently scooping tea leaves from a caddy, its surface is carefully wrapped in wild cherry bark—known for its natural antibacterial qualities.
After use, the scoop may be placed directly back into the caddy, maintaining both cleanliness and convenience. A quietly distinctive piece that brings ease and intention to the everyday ritual of tea.
The bark’s organic properties—gentle breathability, moisture retention, and antibacterial strength—create an ideal environment for storing fine tea leaves. Tightly sealed through the hands of skilled artisans, each caddy offers not only function, but a deep connection to the materials and methods of traditional Japanese craftsmanship.
A quiet object of utility and beauty, designed to age with grace.
