JapanBargain Matcha Scoop Bamboo Tea Spoons

They work well for casual matcha scooping. The small size is great for getting into matcha tins, and the smooth, sealed bamboo means the fine powder doesn't cling to the surface the way it would with rough or untreated wood. They're not a replacement for a traditional chashaku (the long, thin ceremonial matcha scoop), but for everyday matcha making — scooping powder into a bowl or mug — they're practical and convenient. Plus you get 10, so you can keep one dedicated to matcha.

They're absolutely reusable and washable. Reviewers confirm they hold up to regular washing, and the sealed bamboo finish actually helps them resist moisture and oils — including coconut oil, which can be tough on untreated wood. Just hand wash them rather than tossing them in the dishwasher, and let them air dry completely between uses to keep them in good shape.

Yes, better than you might expect from bamboo. Reviewers note that the sealed finish resists oils and moisture — including coconut oil, which is notoriously penetrating. People use them for homemade body scrubs and sugar scrubs without issues, and some even use them in the shower with scrub products. The sealant treatment makes a real difference compared to raw, untreated bamboo.

This is actually one of the most popular uses reviewers mention. The small size and cute appearance make them perfect for attaching to gift jars — think homemade spice blends, bath salts, or sugar scrubs. They work great for make-and-take craft events and party favors too. At 10 per pack, you have plenty to work with for a batch of gifts without breaking the bank.

They're ideal for anyone who keeps loose tea, spices, salts, or herbs in small jars and wants a dedicated scoop for each one. DIY crafters love them for gift jars and homemade beauty products. They're also great for tea drinkers who want a simple, attractive way to scoop loose leaf or matcha without reaching for a big kitchen spoon. They're not the right choice if you need something heavy-duty or for scooping large volumes — they're delicate by design.

A traditional chashaku is a long, narrow bamboo scoop specifically designed for the Japanese tea ceremony — it's typically around 7 inches and scoops a precise amount of matcha. These JapanBargain scoops are shorter at 4 inches, wider, and more of a general-purpose mini spoon shape. They'll scoop matcha just fine for everyday use, but if you're practicing traditional matcha preparation, a proper chashaku gives you the right portion and the ceremonial experience. These are more versatile — matcha, spices, salt, sugar — while a chashaku is a specialist tool.

These JapanBargain bamboo scoops are 4 inches long, which puts them on the smaller side — and that's actually the point. They're designed to fit into narrow containers like 8oz mason jars and small spice bowls. Reviewers specifically love that the small size lets them scoop from tight spaces where a regular spoon won't fit. For matcha specifically, a traditional bamboo scoop (chashaku) is typically about 7 inches, so these are more of a utility scoop than a ceremonial one.

With these JapanBargain bamboo scoops, it's pretty straightforward — just dip and scoop. They work great for portioning out loose leaf tea, matcha powder, or spice blends directly from their containers. Because they're only 4 inches, they're ideal for keeping one scoop dedicated to each container so you're not cross-contaminating flavors. The smooth bamboo finish means powder won't stick to them the way it can with rough wood. Just hand wash after use and let them dry completely.

Reviewers don't mention any off-putting smell or taste, which is a good sign — untreated or poorly finished bamboo can sometimes have a woody taste that transfers to delicate teas and spices. The sealed finish on these likely helps prevent that. The smooth, treated surface means your matcha or spices should taste like themselves, not like wood.

Bamboo is a natural, renewable material that won't react with your tea, spices, or salts the way some metals can. Reviewers specifically appreciate these as a natural alternative to plastic — they look better, feel better, and don't leach anything into your food. The sealed bamboo finish on these JapanBargain scoops gives you some of the moisture resistance you'd get from plastic while keeping that natural aesthetic. They also look great sitting in an open spice bowl or jar on your counter.
